The Noktoren are a species from a waterworld in the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Biology[]
The Noktoren are a species of water-breathing, whale-like omnivores that cruised the littoral seas of their homeworld. They subsisted on tons of plankton each day strained through their massive mouths. Noktoren were also partly photovores as they had photosynthetic-active bacteria inhabiting their translucent upper back skin which subsisted on sunlight. Noktoren used powerful Mentic abilities to mind-talk, teleport, and telekinetically move physical objects about as desired. It was rumored they were even slightly precognitive, able to foresee several minutes into the future. Noktoren were long lived some individuals reaching two thousand bioyears.
Culture[]
Noktoren traveled in great pods of sapients. When addressing Noktoren, individuals are referred to by their station not their personal names, as in Noktoren society, anyone who knows your true name holds power over you, over your mind.
