Thiran

Thirans were, until recently, a slave race of bipedal hominids native to Vorta Prime. It is only within the last century that the Thirans gained their freedom as a species. Little is known about the origins of the Thirans; however, they seem to have appeared in galactic history around 5000 BVC, and were enslaved by the Ortaii soon after.

Physical Characteristics
Thirans are medium-to-large sized mammals. They are erect postured, bipedal hominids. They vary in height and weight, but the average Thiran male stands approximately 5 feet, six inches tall, while the average female is around 5 feet, 2 inches. Their heads consist of small-to-medium globular cranium vaults, with two eyes symmetrically placed on either side of a nasal cavity. Unlike most other species present in the Veran Galaxy, their skin is covered by hair in only a few areas. Thirans are characterized by mid-to-high levels of intelligence, abstract reasoning, somewhat advanced––although emotionally-compromised––personalities, and their capacity for tool use via increased dexterity.

The average Thiran lifespan ranges from 80-140 years, in optimal social and environmental conditions. They seem to have a deep grasp of the social construct, although until very recently, it seemed the Thirans were fated to remain enslaved to their Ortaii overlords forever.
