The Vapethi of Inapiirn (Gushemege 0723) are a technologically sophisticated Minor Non-Human Race with a Non-humanoid appearance.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Vapethi are only a metre tall with pale green complexions. Physically they are as alien to Humaniti as it is possible to envisage. Although they have a roughly similar biochemistry to Humaniti the major physiological preoccupation of the Vapethi is the need to conserve water.
The Vapethi have an internal stalk-like skeleton around which a series of muscles are attached like spokes on a wheel. These muscles are separated by bands of smaller muscles set in concentric rings. These secondary muscles allow the Vapethi to alter the general shape of their bodies to suit the prevailing environmental conditions. The basic shape is a rounded cylinder with usually a quartet of tentacle-like appendages.
The 'skin' is also an important indicator of mood where the darker the shade the more intense and serious the individual's feelings. The limbs (anywhere between two and six) are contractile with a core of a cartilage-like substance. They end in two-way prehensile digits.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Discovered early on in the Vilani explorations of Gushemege, the Vapethi had already surveyed their own system and had begun to branch out to explore the neighbouring stars. The Vilani first noted intelligent life in the system when a scout ship ran into a sophisticated unmanned probe. Observations of the Vapethi indicated a thriving TL–8 culture.
The Vapethi were instrumental in the removal of the Vilani from Inapiirn when the Solomani advanced on Vland (Vland NNN) during the Nth Interstellar War. The Vilani had withheld their technology from the Vapethi, who resented this action -- and thus had sowed the seeds of the later Vapethi rebellion. With the rise of the Solomani the Vapethi could be found wandering the border of Verge, Gushemege and Ilelish, exploring space out of pure curiosity.
