Race Biology
Norians are a humanoid race, with slender pointed ears typical of elven-like species. They stand taller than most elven-type races ranging in size from 5.2 to 6.1 feet. Males and females are sexually dimorphic; males tend to be larger in stature than females. Form follows function. Women are more agile than their male counterparts. Their figures tend to be leaner, with hips fit for childbearing. Females have breasts, but though far from large curvy figures. As in most humanoid species, the reproduction is nearly the same. Male and female mate. The female becomes pregnant, carries the child for 18 months, and bears the child. A Norian can live between 1500 and 1600 years as an average life span.
The Eye
The Norian eye is slightly more advanced than the typical human eye. In terms of photoreception the Norian eye possesses nearly double the number of cones than a typical human; this increased number of cones increases the Norian’s ability to see in the dark. The lens of the eye is also more advanced, cultured of subtly changed protein structure allowing for more flexibility and increased adjustment. In the dark a Norian has nearly a hundred fold the sight of a human, however due to their blood chemistry (See: Blood Chemistry), their eyes are sensitive to light, and vision is slightly less than a typical humans in light.
Blood Chemistry
Norian blood is not hemoglobin based, but chloro-carbonyl-bis (tri phenylphosphine)-iridium (vanadium chromagen) based. When oxygenated the blood turns a bright green-orange, and it over a few days becomes a darker green as it loses oxygenated. Vanadium chromagen however is light sensitive, and when exposed to extreme light can break down over a few days. Norians have complex chemical barriers (non-pigmented) in their skin to prevent light from doing damage to their blood. However eyes, and thinly covered body regions require shielding by sunglasses, clothing, etc. This blood chemistry has caused Norians to prefer more shaded, densely forested areas. Norian lungs are more twisted or spiral shaped organs, because the chemical process for oxygenating the vanadium chromagen takes slightly longer than hemoglobin or cobalt based blood forms. Norians also require a high level of atmospheric nitrogen to be present in their environment, their body utilizes the nitrogen to make nitrogenous bases for use in biochemical functions.
The Skin
The largest organ of the integumentary system made up of multiple layers of epithelial tissues that guard underlying muscles and organs. As the interface with the surroundings, it plays the most important role in protecting (the body) against pathogens and light. Its other main functions are insulation and temperature regulation and sensation. Skin cells have developed complex chemical barriers to prevent light from damaging their blood, however do not offer total protection from the harmful rays. Further protection is given by clothing and other coverings.
Nervous System
Norians have nearly four times as many nerve endings in their bodies than the typical human. They are extremely sensitive to any kind of disturbance, and can register even the slightest vibration. This evolved over time when primitive Norians lived in vast forested areas and hunted for their food. It has remained, and has further been perfected even as Norians advanced, increasing the enjoyment of contact. Along with this increased sensitivity also came an ability to receptions of some negative sensations, giving the Norian a higher pain thresholds similar but stronger than a human in an aroused state.
Musculature
Norians have two types of musculature, the familiar red tissue found in most humanoid life forms and then a white muscular tissue that allows for the concentration and buildup of carbon dioxide. These white muscles allow for extremely quick movements such as sprinting, and maneuvering. However white muscles lack the ability to be used for extremely long lengths of time, so red musculature is required for the other movements. In combat this gives a Norian the ability to have bursts of extremely fast movement. Norian physiology grants them however slightly less than average strength, which is easily made up for in agility.
Mind
Norians have highly developed brains. They are highly intelligent and are very creative. They have natural telepathic and empathic abilities within their own race, which is highly important to their language.
Reproduction
Reproduction is achieved through the sexual intercourse between male and female. Norians are very selective in their mates, and reproduction is a lengthy ritualistic act. Unlike most humanoid species the meeting of sperm and egg is not the only requirement for fertilization. During mating a release of enzymes, energy and gas is excreted from the Pagh’ta gland at the back of the throat. This green cloudy mist is shared between the mates in a kiss, the two energies and the other materials mix and react in the female’s mouth and are reabsorbed into the Pagh’ta gland and delivered to the site of fertilization. Without the Pagh’ta exchange, no fertilization can occur. The egg will reject the sperm. This gives the female ultimate control during mating, as that if no fertilization is desired, she can swallow the Pagh’ta before the male’s can interact with it.
Once fertilization occurs, the female will carry the child for 18 months before giving birth. Norian babies are fragile and require a lot of nurturing.

General History to be added shortly
Weapon
The Yotha E2-SDP is the standard model service sidearm of the Norian Defense Ministry.
Developed in 4905NSD to replace the aging QPPs used reliably by the NDM for two centuries. The Norian Government outlined the need for a weapon that could be brought to full-scale production in a very short period of time. With Quintessant-based weaponry being focused at the starship based level, the move to scalar discharge was an obvious move.

Frame-mounted, underside tactical light/laser button. Once for light/off, twice (quickly) for laser/off.
Curved blade trigger (silver-colored).
Discharge
SDP is a scalar energy weapon, firing green-colored electrogravitic pulses.
Scalar pulses release and electrogravitic field that creates an electrical-like surge will kill lifeforms (in lethal mode, in stun mode it just knocks them out.), detonate fuels and explosives, fry electronics, combust combustibles, and vaporize ablative armor.
Present day
Soon to be appointed Sub Commander of the Falcon Star, Iondara Jisain has a long and distinctive career flying all manner of starships and frieghters, and she is well known for her courage under fire. Unreadable, whoever she is up against is in for a cat and mouse game. Pushing her ships and crew to the very edge of their performance abilities, she is a woman of action not words. Her career is her life partner , not interested in the daliances of the sexes, all she needs is to be in control of her ship, and the respect of her crew.
