Telepathic subspace creatures who appear to humans as tiny chemical flames and live in lower depths of gas giant Marijne VII. A sentient species, indigenous to subspace, yet in appearance, only like floating through space. Due to an accident in 2370, several of these beings became trapped in a ship and needed to communicate with humans. The Marijne beings communicate by directly accessing thoughts which proved deadly to humans, so in order to communicate, the beings instead assumed the image of a familiar humanoid in an effort to find their way back to the safety of their home in low orbit around the planet.
