Thoranian

The Thoranians are a member of the Compact of Trade.

Biology
They are barium titanate crystal beings. Individual Thoranians resembled clusters of green crystals and communicated via radio transmissions. The species naturally existed in a high vacuum natural world or airless environment.

For nourishment, Thoranians absorb alpha, beta and gamma particles emitted by radon gas and stellar winds.

Culture
Thoranians are said to favor cold logic and math-speech above all else.

Individually the Thoranians acted impassively unless in a group.

They establish themselves as Group Minds where an entire group identity share thoughts and experiences.

Before first contact with the Compact, the Thoranians' technological level was just above 21st century Earth, though the former never developed spaceflight. Their discovery was actual an accident on the Compact's part as they stopped by the Thoranians' planet to refuel the Hekkar.
