The Tinalli are native to the verdant world of [[Tinall]], which lies on the very edge of the [[Par'tha Expanse]] on the Kaen'anti Bypass. They lacked space travel when the [[Caraadian]] scouts surveyed their world 7,000 years ago, but have long since made up for lost time; Tinalli are regarded as renowned scholars and scientists, and are very good at figuring out how things work. They jump-started their renowned computer and starship design industries by reverse engineering other companies' products. The Tinalli are diminutive flightless avian humanoids. Unlike most avians, they are born live. They are covered in soft gray feathers, except on the head, which is bare except for a fringe of delicate feathers that cover the back of the head above the large orb-like eyes. Tinalli speak "Basic" (English, Federation Standard, etc) with little difficulty, but their high piping voices grate on some humans. Others find it charming. Young Tinalli have dusky brown facial plumage which gradually shifts to more colorful coloring as they age. | The '''Tinalli''' are native to the verdant world of [[Tinall]], which lies on the very edge of the [[Par'tha Expanse]] on the Kaen'anti Bypass.

The condition and color of one's facial plumage plays an important social role in Tinalli society. Elders are highly honored for their colorful plumage, which represents the wisdom that is gained in living a long life. "Show your colors" is a saying used to chastise adults not acting their age. | The condition and color of one's facial plumage plays an important social role in Tinalli society.
