:::a Vendorian proverb. | |||
:The Vendorian are a species of metamorphs who can become anyone and assume any shape. Mostly isolationists they also have a healthy reputation for being more trouble than they are worth. | |||

They can easily alter their molecular structures at will, thus taking on the shapes of any species or animal life form. This and the ability to float are considered to be evolutionary survival traits needed to survive on their world. | They can easily alter their molecular structures at will, thus taking on the shapes of any species or animal life form. This and the ability to float are considered to be evolutionary survival traits needed to survive on their world. The aspect of their ability to transform into almost anything that is still a mystery to scientists is their ability to become in-animate objects, including very complex technical devices such as a deflector dish and still be able to function exactly like the device they have transformed into. | ||

Psychologists theorize that the harsh reality of daily life on their home world would translate to a mentality that encourages personal survival over more altruistic motives. Limited social interaction, as evidenced by scans taken to this point, would suggest a mentality that does not trust easily outside of their own group. There is anecdotal evidence with respect to limited contact with individual Vendorians on two separate occasions; in both cases, the individuals in question proved to be deceitful, capable of subterfuge and betrayal. Both individuals were concerned with their own survival and appeared to lack understanding of the concept of working for a 'greater good'. | |||
However it has been found that they not only takes the shape of things but in some cases they can also absorb the emotions and feelings of the object they have taken the form of. As of yet their is no scientific explaination of how they are able to do this. | |||

Scans from space have revealed no statures, monoliths or other artistic endeavours. Requests for surface facilities that would allow this species to be observed and data collected that might prove the existence of cultural interests and activities has so far been denied. Considering their environment and obvious intelligence most scientists believe that only close contact or observation will result in useful data. | |||

Patrolling near the Neutral Zone in 2269, the U.S.S. Enterprise found a ship manned by Carter Winston, a Federation citizen who has been missing for 5 years. Winston turns out to really be a Vendorian, an alien species that can transform its shape at will. For more data see Federation Intelligence File # [[MA:ANI 22005 - "The Survivor"|ANI-2269-3482]] | Patrolling near the Neutral Zone in 2269, the U.S.S.
