I. TAXONOMY & PHYSIOLOGY
• Planet of Origin: Varridra Prime (Beta Quadrant – Sector 7145)
• Biological Classification: Mammalia, Hominidae analog
• Bilateral Symmetry: Yes
• Locomotion: Bipedal
• Average Height: 1.24 meters (4 feet, 1 inch)
• Average Mass: 127 kg (280 pounds)
• Lifespan: Approx. 63 Earth years
• Gravity Adaptation: High-gravity specialization (native gravity: 2.6g)
Physiological Highlights:
• Skeletal & Muscular System:
Exceptionally dense bone matrix reinforced with a fibrous calcium alloy. Muscle fiber density is estimated to be 8.6x that of baseline human standards. Capable of feats of strength considered superhuman by most Federation species. Documented cases show adult males lifting up to 2495 kg (5500 lbs) under Earth-normal gravity.
• Cardiovascular System:
Possesses a dual-heart structure. Primary heart located in thoracic cavity; secondary minor heart located in lower abdomen to assist in maintaining circulation in lower extremities, counteracting gravitational pooling.
• Integument:
Covered in thick fur with distinct black-and-white patterning. This coloration is a social-neutral marker and not associated with status or role. Fur also provides insulation against rapid barometric shifts on Varridra Prime.
• Sensory Profile:
o Vision: Ranges from infrared through near-ultraviolet. Diminished photoreceptor tolerance in intense light.
o Hearing: Comparable to human norms.
o Olfaction: Highly developed; equivalent to Terran bloodhounds. Scent-based recognition plays a minor role in social dynamics.
• Environmental Resilience:
Due to compact mass and cellular cohesion, can survive vacuum exposure for 2–4 minutes without immediate fatality. Additionally, they exhibit exceptional tolerance to blunt trauma and are effectively immune to phasers on stun settings; only full-power disintegrative settings ensure neutralization.
