Jorenian

The Jorenians are a species native to the planet Joren.

Biology
The Jorenians are humanoid, standing taller than humans, with startling sapphire-colored flesh. Their sable hair is straight that fall around strong features in lustrous wings. Jorenian eyes are completely white, no iris or pupil discernible beneath the pearly corneas.

Culture
Originally the Jorenians evolved from nomadic warrior clans, into a technically advanced race of insatiable explorers. They are a race that enjoys exploration with several members scattered throughout space.

Jorenians are known to be adept pilots, course plotters — any helm position is favored. Theyvhave a natural sense for navigation, which is useful when instrumentation fails.

Jorenians apparently had complete freedom. They could go anywhere, do anything, have lots of fun. Until they attained emotional and physical maturity, that is. This was measured not by age, but by some unspecified internal biological clock. They value everything as a Choice which their HomeClans will honor to the death.
