==History== | ==History== | ||
The Illumini are a species about which not much is known. They are a somewhat strange addition to the [[ma:Federation|Federation]] since they are an isolationist species. Their home-planet [[Crysta Alpha]] lies deep within Federation space in the regions nearby [[ma:Gamma_Tauri|Gamma Tauri]]. Invisible to most [[ma:Sensors|sensors]] and even for the naked eye most of the times, their world is considered quite unique due to this natural phenomena. | |||
The very few [[Humanoid|humanoids]] who have actually seen or visited the planet nicknamed it the 'Glass Giant' due to its transparent like attributes. Twice during its planetary cycle circling their two stars, one [[ma:Pulsar|pulsar]] and a [[ma:White_dwarf|white dwarf]], the planet absorbs and reflects the stars' energetic light which makes it seem to illuminate the various planets in their system. | |||
Despite of their isolationist based existence, the Illumini are considered very wise when it concerns knowledge of the [[ma:Galaxy|galaxy]]. Several saga suggest they are not naturally indigenous to our galaxy. This has however never been proven and will remain to be just good bedtime stories or interesting tales of mystery. | |||
Other than this very little is known about their past. | |||
==Government== | ==Government== | ||
While the Illumini are members in good standing of the Federation, there is still much to be learned about this [[ma:Species|species]]. This is mostly due to their isolationist society and one of the biggest mysteries is how their government is set up. For some reason they will not discuss it with outsiders. | |||
==Description== | ==Description== | ||
The Illumini themselves are curious as well as their [[ma:Gender|transgendered]] bodies appear to be formed from a purely transparent diamond like material. They are one of the very few [[ma:Humanoid|humanoid]] [[ma:Biped|biped]] species not made from standard biological flesh and blood. Their hairless transparent bodies and lack of detail like colored eyes, lips and flesh are known to have caused several unlucky encounters with species that simply could not understand and reacted in fear, rather then understanding the uniqueness of these peoples. | |||
==Physiology== | |||
* '''Breathing Conditions''': There are 'none'. The [[Illumini]] are capable of surviving without any [[ma:Atmosphere|atmosphere]] as long as their energy reserves can last. It has been known some Illumini have survived the coldness and vacuum of [[ma:Space|space]] for several months, replenishing their energy from [[ma:Stars|stars]] or any other natural or in-natural energy sources. | |||
* '''Gravity Conditions''': Their tough and hard bodies make them capable of surviving in [[ma:Zero_gravity|zero-gravity]] up to high gravity worlds, limited only by the stress their harder-then-diamond bodies can handle. Their movements will be limited though, depending on the amount of gravity. | |||
* '''Growth Period''': The Illumini are born deep within their planet's cold crust in, what is called by them, the lagoon of life. Unlike most species, the Illumini do not have parents as we know them, no 'mother' of 'father'. They are created by a chemical and natural process within the lagoons and are brought up by groups of people simply known as caretakers. A member of the Illumini race reached adulthood after 18 years, just like the [[Human|humans]]. Their lifespan however is many times more then that of a human. Theory proclaims the Illumini should be able to reach several thousand years of age before their capacity of absorbing energy is reduced to zero percent. | |||
* '''Senses''': Very much identical to a [[Terran]], from touch, taste, scent, sight and sound. They possess no enhanced ability with their senses. | |||
* '''Resistances''': [[Starfleet]] [[ma:Science|scientists]] often wonder how such a species could have found life, as [[ma:Science|Federation biologists]] are puzzled how their hard bodies can actually move. Even more wondered about is their capacity to absorb energy of various kinds and use it to manipulate their bodies, giving them a temporal but impressive capability of slightly [[ma:Shape_shifting|changing shape]] to one of equal mass, or make their bodies lit up by producing a blinding white light like effect from their inside out. This is believed an ancient and natural defense meganism which was developed millions of years ago. The Illumini can't, however, use this gift very often as it takes a huge toll on their bodies and minds, causing immense fatigue and massive drops in body energy. | |||

The Illumini prefer to keep a low profile to remain 'unseen'. This mostly has to do with their history with other space-fairing species, who often are afraid by their odd bodily structure and appearance. | |||

It is mostly unknown to what extent their technology lies. Sufficient to say they are a [[ma:Warp|warp-capable]] species and have a vast knowledge of manufacturing a high quality of [[ma:Dilithium_crystals|dilithium crystals]] which | It is mostly unknown to what extent their technology lies. Sufficient to say they are a [[ma:Warp|warp-capable]] species and have a vast knowledge of manufacturing a high quality of [[ma:Dilithium_crystals|dilithium crystals]] which can boost [[ma:Warp_Engines|engine]] efficiency at least 8 percent. This technology has been used by [[ma:Starfleet|Starfleet]] with much gratitude on numerous occasions, especially during the [[ma:Dominion|Dominion]] wars and the construction of the [[ma:Sovereign_class|Sovereign class]] starships. | ||
Due to their bodily structure, the Illumini have had very little need of medical knowledge. Their scientific knowledge of the fabric and traits of the Galaxy however has been named 'impressive' by scientists from all over the galaxy on numerous occasions. | |||
however they have the capability of manufacturing a high quality of [[ma:Dilithium_crystals|dilithium crystals]] which often boosts [[ma:Warp_Engines|engine]] efficiency. | |||

Like [[ma:Federation|The Federation]] the Illumini see no need in enriching themselves with currency. They have always worked as a species to better themselves. | Like [[ma:Federation|The Federation]] the Illumini see no need in enriching themselves with currency.
