The Gardonniansare a species who are members of the Wake Convoy.
Biology[]
Gardonnians are small worm-like creatures with three pairs of limbs each ending in three fingers. They are psychics, able to read the minds of other creatures. Gardonnians are capable of inhabiting the living organisms. If their physical bodies are destroyed they can psychically latch unto to a host where they can safely regenerate.
The species are a hyper-sensitive species. Due to this they have precluded themselves from regenerating within sentient beings for fear of their heightened emotions. Usually in accidents with fatal consequences to their bodies, Gardonnians usually have to take refugee in trees or rocks to regenerate. This is a survival tactic to prevent anyone from finding them. However this comes at a cost as it makes them prisoners and immobile.
Uniquely humans are the only species that the Gardonnians have encountered that are impossible to read, allowing the species to regenerate without fear and talk with their host from within.
Culture[]
The Gardonnians serve in the Wake Comvoy as psi-scouts, using their psionics to locate new intelligent races for the Wake to make contact with on any new worlds they discover. If those worlds lack intelligent life they are claimed by the Wake to be colonized.
