The Shrashashee of 531-210 (Diaspora 0627) are a technologically primitive Minor Non-Human Race with a Semi-humanoid appearance. Some accounts of these species call them the Shrashee.
Description (Specifications)
The Shrashashee are an aquatic Minor Race native to 531-210 (Diaspora 0627). They are descended from a carnivore/siren species.
The prehistoric Shrashashee learned to coat their natural lure-like protrusion with the fluid hydrocarbons that dominate the upper reaches of their seas. They then sent an exothermic pulse through the lure, igniting the hydrocarbons as they swam. The result -- a streamer of bright, shimmering light -- appeared to smaller creatures as the bioluminescent marking of another, smaller species. The Shrashashee now use similar (but much more powerful) submerged exothermic reactions to conduct any welding or other high-temperature operations, although their tool-use and construction is mostly centered on biotechnological products. These are formed from domesticated sea creatures similar to spiders and barnacles.
History & Background (Dossier)
Although the Rebellion didn't affect them directly, the Shrashashee were quite perturbed when a 5,000 ton starship crashed into the sea not far from their second greatest city, killing several hundred individuals. The aftershock of this event led to the formation of a radical sect which decried further development and pursuit of metallurgical skills and knowledge.
