Rishanan

The Rishanans are an alien species from the planet Rishana.

Biology
Semi-humanoids with an enormous bald head topping a spindly little body. Whether by form of ability or technology Rishanans possessed a psionic ability to project themselves across space.

Culture
The most intellectual race in the known Galaxy, were almost legends. Known to be be lured from their home only by a problem impossible for lesser races to solve. The Interstellar Baseball Association which was governed by the 27 huge volumes made Rishanans invariably officiated in the Series as umpires. Anything else they ignored or were ignored themselves. Most species pitied their bodies whereas they pitied the unintelligent masses.
