Guy-troy Synopsis
The Controlled — the name given the Guy-troy by the Imperium — are hexapods like many winged sophonts.
Guy-troy Physiology
The Guy-troy are not very strong, by human standards, and their arms are extremely slender but have digital dexterity superior to Humaniti’s. Their feet (but not hands) are equipped with razor sharp talons making them walk or run much more slowly than humans.
Their true mode of movement, of course, is in winged flight: though in standard atmospheres they can only glide, in denser gas envelopes like that of their homeworld they can achieve speeds of some 30 meters per second. They stand 1.25 meters tall (with a 3.25 m wingspan), and typically mass 50 to 75 kg.
A Controlled’s skeleton is flexible and lighter than humans, with internal cartilaginous structures giving it a terrific resistance to blunt impact damage. However, their paper-thin skin tears or bruises easily.
Guy-troy Society & Culture
The Imperium’s long supervision of the Controlled has made their mental life strongly resemble the typical (human) citizen’s. They are still subject to impatience, restlessness, and moodiness, but are capable of terrific powers of concentration for short periods
In another oddity, they require special low berths and cannot use the conventional variety.
Guy-Troy Language
They cannot speak human(nor can humans physically voice theirs), so they must resort to translators.
