Physical: Brikars are large bipedal creatures with a thick hide that resembles rock. Their tough hides and dense physiques make them look like living statues. Their skin is impervious to most projectile weapons. It is a common belief that the Brikar have genetically altered their physical make-up over the centuries and have, in effect, bred themselves for physical strength. In the relatively higher Earth gravity, Brikars appear more flattened vertically than on their homeworld, and they experience some difficulty in moving. However, they retain their incredible strength. They are so massive they have to wear personal gravity compensators to function properly in Earth-normal gravities. The average Brikar is capable of lifting several tons, even in Earth gravity. Although fairly rigid in physique Brikars can be capable of unexpected quickness. They have large lung capacities, slow metabolisms and airtight mouths, allowing them to hold their breath for 20 minutes at a stretch. They have the well-deserved reputation for being hard to scare, owing to their size, strength, and tough hides which can withstand phaser blasts that would kill most humanoids. They have small all-black eyes, two vertical slits for a nose, a simple slit for a mouth, and have two small circular ear holes on either side of their proportionally small and compact heads. They have three-fingered hands featuring two fingers in a V-shape and an opposable thumb.

Culture: The Brikars are a technologically sophisticated, roughly humanoid civilization from the low-gravity world of Brikar. They are a proud warrior race and are members of the Federation. Though not unemotional, the Brikar have a renowned stoicism and a chauvinism that is equally famous. The temperament of the Brikar is similar to a Vulcan's detachment, to a Klingon's in battle and once "annoyed". The Brikar have traditionally harboured a dislike for Klingons stemming from intense border disputes that occurred before the Klingon-Federation Alliance.

History: Not much is known culture wise, family unit etc, but we know that they evolve Warp technology around 70 years ago.

Planet: Brikars home planet is a low gravity planet. Temperature of the environment is similar to the Vulcan homeworld.

History

Little is known about Brikar’s history past about 150 years ago. Information is scarce, and what does exist is locked away in Government files. What is known of several border wars with the Klingon Empire. This ended some 40 years ago, but tensions still remain, however a recent act of good faith has decreased tensions a bit in the past year. The Brikar had been in good standing with the Federation for about 35 years. There was a brief war with the Federation, but was quickly put down by Starfleet.

There is speculation on some accounts of the Brikar having their DNA altered to enhance their physical capabilities. However, there is no solid evidence, but the Brikar have never answered any question concerning this.

The Brikar for lack of other terms are very secretive of past history. Not that they hid anything they simply refuse to talk about it.

They have been loyal members of the federation for the past 30 years.
