The Lithopan are an extinct Minor Non-Human Race with a Non-humanoid appearance.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

A minor race of the Empty Stars region.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The existence of this species was discovered by the Jannasta Expedition

Lithopan[edit]

Each of the four sophonts of the Intersect Cluster – the Dhagoni, the Froma, the Outsiders and the Vexor – were seeded in some way through the influences of the Lithopan initiators. Theses miners have masses rivaling small moons and large asteroids. Their movements often coincide with planetesimals collisions in nascent solar systems on the cusp of stable planet formation. Their bodies create oceans and mountain ranges. They can draw heavy metals upward from mantle layers into the crust. They can float through space. They can utilize radioactive elements and accumulated fuels to lift off. The question of the sentience is unknown and some would say unknowable. They live so long and so slowly they seem as unaware of the life they generate as a human would have with the microbes on our skin. They can manipulate gravity fields and accelerate very slowly over vast stretches of time as the wander from star to star. They are incapable of FTL, but achieve sub luminal velocities that would kill typical organic life forms. Upon approaching a new gravity well of a new star they settle onto a new planet and begin to refuel from the exertion of their last voyage. This resting phase varies with the duration of the crossing. Usually a few million years per light year traveled.

Astrography[edit]

This race was primarily located in the following areas:
Uncharted Space - Where The Stars End:

Homeworld[edit]

The homeworld of this race is:

  • Unknown

World Listing[edit]

Significant communities of this race were known to dwell within the following systems and worlds:
