Khthon

Khthons are a sapient species of short-statured humanoids from the planet Trieste, in the Althosian System. They are known for their psychic abilities.

Biology
Khthons are small creatures with hairless skin that resembles ancient papyrus. Regardless of their age, they all look, move and talk like old men. They can read minds and predict the future.

Following the destruction of the Althosian System in 2400, it is likely that this species has become extinct.

Culture and society
Khthons have endured centuries of enslavement and maltreatment by other species, most recently Humans who colonized their planetary system.
