The Delos system's sun is relatively unstable and is prone to periodic violent magnetic field changes producing gigantic and intense solar flares. It is speculated that the proximity of the unstable magnetic field is responsible for the innate ability of the Brekkians and the Ornarans to produce electrical charges. They are generated by a "the Hunter's organ", located within a Brekkian's upper arm, and electroshocks are released as a current through nerves within the forearm and wrist.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/sOFyj0lyTqQ/ZWt06ic6AwAJ ''"Slow Burn"''], LtCmdr N.Ryan, {{USS|Veritas}}, SD 239410.09</ref> These discharges are easily capable of stunning humans, although races with similar abilities seem better able to withstand the effects.
