Thermian

The Thermians true form

The Thermians are octopoidal creatures native to Thermia in the Klatu nebula, presumably located somewhere near the 23rd quadrant of the Gamma Sector.


Biology

The Thermians are a fairly strong highly intelligent species of squid-like cephalopods. Like cephalopods on other planets the color of thermian skin can change color, depending on their emotional state, which aids in communication. It should be noted that they have blue blood.

Culture

They are an extremely naïve and kind species, they have no concept of fiction, or deciet, they have mistaken broadcasts of earth as "historical documents", in particulary Galaxy Quest and Gilligan's Island.

History

Millions of years ago, Thermians emerged from the oceans of their homeworld, eventually evolving into a species of intelligent squid-like cephalopods. In the 5 million years following the Great Nebulae Burst, their people were one people. And they eventually came into conflict with the Sarris Dominion.

At some point they began to receive transmissions from earth, and they remodeled their entire society based on the television program Galaxy Quest. Because of their naïve nature they failed to fully understand the program, believing it to be a historical document.

Technology

The Thermians human form

Thermian technology seems to be for the most part modeled after what they have seen on the television show Galaxy Quest. In order to better emulate their idols from earth they have created devices called Appearance Generators which allows them to assume a somewhat human form.

Their technology is highly varied and advanced, they have food replicators, organ fabrication devices, and more notably are extremely adept at interstellar travel. They have also mastered two forms of non-ship travel, with the Digital Conveyer, and the Pods.
