Prantis

Homeworld: Prantis III

Description

This insecoid race stand about 4 feet tall with 2 massive back legs. They can jump over 20 feet. They have 4 arms and 2 compound eyes on either side of their heads. They can lift 5 times their weight which is usually about 50 lbs. While they appear to be a very fragile race with their extremely narrow body and stick like arms their green skin is actually a very tough kind of carapace armour.

They have excellent vision and are able to do very intricate work with their highly nimble claw like hands. They make excellent engineers, craftsmen and scientists. Their doesn't appear to be any significant differance between males and females. In fact non Prantis find it impossible to tell them apart.

Government

The Prantis have a central government which is made up of the most brilliant members of their society. As a race they work together in harmony. In fact the central government is run very much like a huge company.

All the occupants of the city are emplyed by the government and they can work their way up the ladder of success until they eventually gain a position of importantance. Maybe even that of CEO of the planet.

Technology

Their culture is post warp and very highly advanced even thou they do not build or manufacture any starships. They do build many of the systems that other races buy to install in their starships. These include shield and weapon systems.

The city is clean, with lights and transport tubes everywhere. The city is protected by a wide range of safety features from weapon instilations to shield generators. All of them superior to those that they sell to off worlders.
