- The humanoid Cygnans are from a system with very low UV output and thus they
lack the skin pigments that protect against UV light. To offset this they need
to regularly apply a long lasting chemical sunblock to their very pale skin,
which together with their totally black eyes, gives them a very distinctive,
albino-like appearance.
Known for their technological aptitude and abilities, Cygnans actually see
technology as a form of art - they are also renowned for their art. Cygnans have
a well-deserved reputation for lacking discipline - except for when it comes to
technology. Part of their philosophy is to spread their technology to others and
their representatives on the Federation High Council continue to be the most
open in their objections to the Prime Directive.
- Notes
- The Cygnans are a conversion of the race that appears and is described in
Prime Directive, the
role-playing game for the Star Fleet Battles universe published by
Task Force Games.
