OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Energy Projection: The Veldorians can project the energy they have absorbed into a variety of psionic constructs made out of the energy they have absorbed. These constructs can clash with lightsabers, or similar weapons but lack cutting power. Furthermore, they are also capable of using tractor beams/repulsion beam, as well as turning themselves into energy to travel through machinery.
- Machinery Possession: The Veldorians can 'possess' machinery, allowing them to override control of the machine and turn it on their enemies. Depending on the technology, it could take anywhere from a minute to a day or a week or a month or years for a single Veldorian to possess it. A single Veldorian could possess a droid easily, but couldn't possess vehicles on their own, or ships. The larger the vehicle or ship, the more Veldorians would be needed to do so.
- Bio Engineering/Vong Forming/Master Engineering: The Veldorians are good when it comes to biotechnology like what the Vong use, but they are also good when it comes to regular technology like the rest of the galaxy uses. This skill was developed so they could build ships that they didn't accidentally possess.
- Telepathic Communication: When Veldorians are in the same system of space they are able to sync up and communicate with each other telepathically, allowing them to act without verbally communicating.
- Corporeal Forms: Each of the Veldorians has a corporeal form that they can shift into, allowing them to interact with the world as if they were a regular organic. However, when they are in this form they cannot use the ability to possess machinery. This form is something they typically stay in most of the time, except when they wish to possess machinery. However their bodies produce fewer fatigue toxins, and have greater endurance than that of other organics.
- Knowledge Transferance: Upon the death of a Veldorian, all the memories and knowledge the Veldorian has are passed onto another, allowing the life experience to be used by the Veldorians of the future.
- Machinery Possession: Posessing machinery for long periods of time tires out the Veldorian who is doing it or the multiple Veldorians who are doing it. The Machinery Possession could also take them anywhere from minutes to days, or weeks depending on the complexity of the technology. Furthermore, they cannot possess organic technology. The more sophisticated the technology, the more energy they have to expend to possess it. Furthermore, this ability will not work on devices imbued with the Force in any shape or fashion. They cannot possess anything bigger than a droid with a single Veldorian, and the size of the droid is an R2D2 unit. As a result of this, normally when going to possess machinery multiple Veldorians will work together, or this won't even be tried.
- Telepathic Connection: While the telepathic connection all the Veldorians share is a strength, it is also a weakness. For they can feel it when one of their own is killed in action. They can all feel the pain of any Veldorians who are maimed, murdered, or anything else happens to them. With effort this connection can be suppressed, though it hurts them physically to do so. this only works for Veldorians who are in the same system.
- Traveling through machinery/currents: If they travel through machinery or currents too long they could break apart, and reform eventually although they'd have amnesia.
- Energy Projection: If the Veldorians don't project the energy outwards, they will suffer from an overload and explode. They'll reform afterwards, but have amnesia and be weak.
CULTURE
The Gulag Plague was one of the worst diseases to befall the Galaxy. It hit the world of Setus Prime particularly hard, wiiping out a good portion of Veldorians. When only about six thousand remained who were uninfected, the Veldorians gathered themselves together. Working as a unit they divided up into groups of one hundred. The most powerful force users of their race, as well as the most intelligent scientists began to brainstorm ways they could avoid dying in case the plague was launched again. Finally an idea came to the mind of the Force Users and the Scientists. The plague could only affect organic matter, so what if they were no longer organic? The idea held virtue, and so the scientists and Force Users began to work in tandem, building a device that with a massive amount of force energy powering it, could turn all of the Veldorians into beings of pure energy, and thus allow them to survive any future diseases or viruses like that.
Deployment of the device was done, and it worked. However it was at a cost. The Force Users who had participated had died during the process because they'd poured their everything into powering the machine so that the Veldorians could survive.. The ones that remained weren't exactly the most powerful of the Force Users, but could get by. Over time, the Force was abandoned for the most part although some of the Veldorians continued the practice of it, while most had turned to science or the new abilities they possessed to handle problems.
The Netherworld event wiped out a good chunk of the Veldorians, and has led to them joining with the Narrikians and becoming a vassal race of the Narrikians. The Veldorians discovered after the event that they had a "tangible" form that could be used by them to interact with the world around them. It was from there that they decided on something, that they needed a way to interact with ships without possessing them. So they started working on their own bio-technology for themselves.
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To expand the number of Species that inhabit Setus Prime.
- Image Credit:
- Canon: N/A
- Links: N/A
- Name: Veldorians
- Designation: Sentient
- Homeworld: Setus Prime
- Language: Telepathy
- Average Lifespan: 950 years
- Estimated Population: Planetary (A Large Concentration on a single world or system, rarely found off-world)
- Description: A race that happens to be made out of living energy. The Veldorians as a result of being made out of living energy can 'shapeshift' to assume the forms of other species, even if they wouldn't have matching DNA. The Veldorians typically prefer looks that are unique because of their ability to shapeshift.
- Breathes: While they don't need to breathe, they can breathe in all environments due to being energy beings who can shapeshift.
- Average height of adults: The average height of the females is about 1.6 m and the average height of the males is about 1.8 m.
- Average length of adults: N/A
- Skin color: Their skin appears to be a transparent hue of green, red, blue, orange, yellow, silver, gray or many other colors. Their skin is only one solid color, although it appears transparent when they are in their true form. When they appear to be human, their skin colors are that of a regular human.
- Hair color: Their hair color matches their skin color perfectly. When they 'solidify' they appear to be more human-like, and have regular hair colors that a human would.
- Distinctions: One of the key differences is that the Veldorians appear to be a solid color, but transparent most of the time. This is because they are made out of energy. When they are near the point of dying due to old age, their color will have darkened to the point of being pitch black, but still transparent.
- Races: N/A

CULTURE
- Diet: While the Veldorians don't eat traditional food, they can absorb energy from machinery. Energy could be absorbed from plant or animal life. While it is true energy could be absorbed from sapient beings, this process is considered taboo among the Veldorians. The Veldorians can eat traditional food, even if it isn't as filling to them as draining power from machinery.
- Communication: Telepathy
- Technology level: Their technology level is on the high end of the Galactic Standard.
- Religion/Beliefs: While the Veldorians do still have the potential to use the Force, they believe that it is not something people should mess around with, at least to the degree the Galaxy at large has been doing so. The Veldorians also believe that viruses such as the Gulag Plague and anything nearing that potency show no form of any honor whatsoever.
- General behavior: The Veldorians are an honorable species, and will not attack others without any form of provocation from the individuals. They hold themselves to a code of honor much like that of a Samurai of old. The Veldorians are willing to tolerate outsiders, but will not take jokes when it comes to things like viruses, or biological weapons, or similar being deployed on the world of Setus Prime. Such 'jokes' would likely lead to them attacking the individual who made the jokes in the first place.
