Psychon

The Psychons are a humanoid race formally from the planet Psychon. They look similar to Humans, but instead of Human-looking eyebrows, a horizontal row of bumps take their place above each eye. The Psychons are known for keen, scientific minds, some impressively advanced technology, the ability to control minds, and for the apparently unique potential (if not always actual) biological/mental ability to be metamorphs. Dorcons are their most feared enemies.

Notable members

 * Dorzak
 * Maya
 * Mentor

History
Many Psychons were scattered into space when their homeworld went into rapid environmental decline (the cause of which is unknown). At least two of the species stayed behind to attempt to revive the planet, using a biological computer called Psyche that stole mental energy from alien victims to restore it to the way it was. This ultimately unraveled with the arrival of the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha, and the entire planet exploded and was totally destroyed. One of the Psychons, Maya, was rescued and became a member of the Alphans.
