The Kolipians of Kolipio (Old Expanses 2424) are a Minor Non-Human Race with a non-humanoid appearance and technologically primitive sophonts.
Description (Specifications)
Adapted to trace atmospheres (types 1-3) and low gravity, the Kolipians are a tripodal, burrowing tool-using race. They resemble 1.5m tall "walking tree trunks", each of their limbs ending a manipulative three-fingered claw. They have no true head, the torso having a radial set of six 'eyes' about a half-meter above the upper set of limbs. Their 'mouth' is located dorsally atop of their torso, much like the Beree (another tripodal Minor Race found in the trailing-coreward Crucis Margin Sector).
The Kolipians are vegetarians, eating lichens and fungi grown in damp dark caves, and are adapted to the dim light of their M class star or total darkness, using a form of sonar similar to Terran bats for navigation in utter darkness.
The average lifespan of a Kolipian is 70 Terran years.
History & Background (Dossier)
Kolipians have a difficulty due to their physiology in speaking Anglic, but Hive Federation-supplied voders were found to be a useful tool for communicating with these hard working aliens. The Kolipians among themselves have a simple 'sign' language of gestures and 'footsteps', coupled with their tough chitinous chameleon skin ability for 'punctuation'. The Kolipian skill also acts as a defensive mechanism.
The Kolipians were an unusual rediscovery for RCES in 1212, who presumed that they had been destroyed by passing raiders of vampires along the main long ago.
