The Irf of Lomodo IV are an extinct minor race native to Alpha Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.
- They had a non-humanoid appearance.
- Their technological competency was rated as primitive.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Irf resembled the Angiosh, a lifeform native to plains regions of Lomodo IV.
A typical Irf stood at around 1.5 meters and weighed around 70 kg. They preferred a dry environment and were nomadic, moving into new territories as they depleted resources in their current regions.
They were omnivore hunters, pursuing game animals and gathering flora.
Psychology[edit]
The Irf exhibited recognized characteristics of intelligence:
- Conceptual thought, including abstract language.
- Social structure, including social organization.
- Tool use, allowing environmental manipulation.
Irf psychology was driven by factors common to many sophonts:
- Acquisition (stemming from the need to gather adequate nutrition),
- Preservation (derived from the need to continue their personal existence), and
- Perpetuation (the urge to continue the species).
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
This species was involved in a mutually destructive 200 year long war on their homeworld resulting in the death of their species and the Byl with whom they warred. The planet is littered with the ruins of both species’ cities. Meanwhile another species, the Osp, which was overlooked by the two warring parties has now colonized most of the world.
Additionally, the Irf are believed to have had some off world species contact by what may have been a four legged creature resembling a terran Horse. There are several temples with examples of such a creature throughout the Irf ruins on the planet. In addition the materials used to build the temples are not native to Lomodo IV, and the temples are architecturally different from Irf or Osp architecture and even physiology.
