- After the unfortunate first UFP contact with the Horta in 2267 these
silicon-based life forms have found a place in the Federation. They posses a natural
understanding of mining and can exude an extremely corrosive acid (which does 1D6 to 25
points of damage, depending on exposure). they have no vocal apparatus so they must use
devices to synthesize spoken language.

- Editor's Notes
- I have several problems with this species being included, but for the sake of
completeness... First of all, how a Horta (essentially a moving piece of rock) would serve
in Starfleet aboard a starship is stretching it enough. Secondly, the stats are
exceedingly high in my mind (a Horta has a maximum Fitness or Coordination to that of a
Human?).
