Chatilian

Race Overview

Although mockingly nicknamed Asparagus Men, these guys are tough. They aren't liked very much, but most intelligent people don't mess with them. The Chatilians are from the planet Chatil in the Fomalhaut star system. They are frail, delicate looking, greenish blue beings with thin bodies and large, bullet shaped heads. The skull is crowned with sensory nodes which allows these strange beings to generate matrices. Chatilians are herbivores. They have no real mouth, rather they possess facial slits through which they strain their food intake. The Chatilian Empaths communicate among themselves telepathically and have great difficulty learning to speak aloud. Although Empaths are innocuous looking, they are actually among the more dangerous and formidable opponents in the galaxies. Through the evolutionary process, they have developed psycho-kinetic power which allows them to harness and transmit psychic energy. This unusual ability is called generating. Chatilian special powers are some of the most potent in the game. Their energy matrices are multi-faceted, allowing them to react differently to a variety of situations. Empaths employ psychic, illusionary, and sonic attack forms. High level Chatilians can actually crush the minds of their enemies. The energy for generation is focused in the power crystal which a Chatilian always wears on a chain around his neck. Without the crystal, the empath is impotent, so most Empaths carry a backup crystal, just in case they should lose the first one. An empath has the innate ability to read the minds of any unprotected sentient in close proximity to his person. He must focus his attention on one person only.
