Description:
Ithorians, also known as "hammerhead," are large, graceful creatures from the Ottega star system. They have a long neck, which
curls forward and ends in a dome-shaped head.
Ithorians are perhaps the greatest ecologists in the galaxy: they have a technologically advanced society, but have devoted most
of their efforts to preserving the natural and pastoral beauty of the home world’s tropical jungles. Ithorians live in great herd
cities, which hover above the surface of the planet, and there are many Ithorian herd cities that supply the starlanes, traveling
from planet to planet for trade.
Ithorians often find employment as artists, agricultural engineers, ecologists and diplomats. They are a peace loving and a
gentle people.
Special Abilities:
Ecology: Time to use: at least one Standard Month. The character has a good working
knowledge of the interdependent nature of ecospheres, and can determine how proposed changes will affect the sphere. This skill
can also be used in one minute to determine the probable role of a life-form within its biosphere: predator, prey, symbiote,
parasitic, or some other quick explanation of its role.
Agriculture: Time to use: at least one standard Week. The character has a good working
knowlegde of crops and animal herd, and can suggest appropriate crops for a kind of soil, or explain why crop yields have been
affected.
Story Factors:
Herd Ships: Many Ithorians come from herd ships, which fly from planet to planet rading
goods. Any character from one of these worlds is likely to meet someone that they have met before if adventuring in a civilized
portion of the galaxy.
