As with most intelligent humanoid species they have a very complex system with specialized organs, and unique hormones, chemicals and enzymes. With a higher body temperature, they are typically more comfortable in warmer climates - many of those having left home complain about the colder room temperatures, often layering clothing to stay comfortable.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/vF8_K_lUswc/VI8d4X58EgAJ ''"The cold.'',] LtCmdr S.Blake, {{USS|Veritas}}, SD 239401.04</ref> In the rarer cases, a Brekkian may frequently suffer from the common cold if exposed to lower ship-board temperatures for too long. | As with most intelligent humanoid species they have a very complex system with specialized organs, and unique hormones, chemicals and enzymes.

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. These charges are easily capable of stunning humans, although races with similar abilities seem better able to withstand the effects. | |||
Brekkians typically have a complete mental control of this ability, though constant use proves to be hazardous to Brekkian health.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/Uv_nFecnPNY/DnqTvwQnCAAJ ''"When memory loss isn't remotely helpful."''], LtCmdr S.Blake, {{USS|Veritas}}, SD 239410.04</ref> | |||
