Rothian

The Rothian home world of Roth II is in the Trinity Sector of space.

Description

The Rothians are an insectoid race. They have 4 compound eyes which allow them to see above, behind, in front and to the sides but not below them. They stand just over 4' tall and weigh on average about 100 lbs. They have 4 arms and 2 legs. All these limbs have 2 joints like 2 elbows or 2 knees. The feet are 4 clawed toes shaped like a X. The hands are 2 pincers with a razor sharp 6" blades attached where the wrist would be. They have 4 wings that propel them through the air at speeds up to 20 km.

On average, the ratio of male's to female's is 1,000 to 1. The females organize the males into work parties. These include diggers, foragers, herders, soldiers and farmers. The females do no work and seldom ever leave a nest.

History

With very little to go on, it is believed that as this race developed into a sentient species it retained much of it's pre-intelligent instinctual lifestyle. Not much more is know at this time.

Technology

They are a pre-warp culture. They have a primative culture with an excellent understanding of herding and farming. Strangely enough they also have a sound understanding of metalurgy. They are able to craft many different tools, some of which are very complex. Thanks to the Klingon occupation of their world they now understand how to make more complex metals.
