- Description
- If it were physically possible, Alpha Quadrant residents would say the Korri
were related to the Ferengi. While their physiologies are very different and
incompatible, their philosophies about business and financial gain are
remarkably similar.
- The Korri evolved from amphibians on their
oceanic world. Their moist skin is a mottled blue-grey colour, though
light-to-dark variations exist. While their auditory and olfactory senses are
underdeveloped, they have excellent vision and can even see to a limited degree
in wavelengths not normally visible to most humanoids. Their "ears"
are nothing more than a double-layered membrane under their skin that vibrates
over their auditory canals. Korri have no "noses." Instead,
catfish-like whiskers pick up airborne chemicals, which their brains interpret
as "smells."
- One advantage the Korri do posses is a limited
psionic ability. Although this is primarily used as an extra sense to gain
awareness of their surroundings, most Korri have developed their abilities
enough to give them an edge in their business dealings.
Even though Korri eyesight is exceptional, their
fashion tends to drab, monochromatic one-piece body suits. Their webbed hands
have only three fingers plus a thumb, and a stubby vestigial tail protrudes from
the small of the back.
- While Ferengi could be considered the
"corrupt businessmen" of the Alpha Quadrant, the Korri would be better
described as unscrupulous "street vendors," "back alley
salesmen" or "circus sideshow callers" who know the value of what
they're selling, but tell you it is ten times more.
Little is known about Korri politics. Their large
starships are best described as "flying bazaars" (filled mostly with
junk). They have few to no offensive capabilities, and Korri technology has an
upper limit of warp 3.
- Author's Note:
- This race is of non-canon
origin and is an original design. The Korri are one of the many races populating
the T'burad Expanse, featured in my "Dark Frontier" series.
