Description
Vellorians are characterized by their telepathic abilities and often-flirtatious
attitudes. They are a compassionate people, but at the same time they are driven
by an excitement. Vellorian culture shows them to be a very peaceful and
artistic people, full of a love of life and a desire to share with others. They
appear virtually identical to Humans, though the function and placement of their
internal organs differs slightly. They are not as tall as Humans, averaging
about 178 cm for the males and 168 cm for the females. Vellorian skin tones
range from pinkish to dark brown, much like Humans, but it is rare to find a
Vellorian who does not have mauve coloured eyes.
While the Vellorian Psionic ability can encompass any specialty, most often the Receptive Empathy skill is nurtured. Many of the adventurous Vellorian who do find their way to Starfleet and into other cultures usually enter the medical profession or the social sciences. They have a great instinctive need to help people. Often, they will develop the Empathic Healing skill as well.
Traditional Vellorian garb is made op of several layers of loose clothing, frequently in the form of scarves and sashes. It is rare to see patterns on the clothing; pastel colours are used almost exclusively.
Velloria itself is a very beautiful and peaceful planet. The 3rd of 8 planets in orbit around a red dwarf star, Velloria is mainly mountain ranges and savannah, between two main oceans. Vellorians live in large, clan-like groups, often numbering in the hundreds. Many groups travel around the planet nomadically, but there are more than 5-dozen main cities. Velloria has two large moons, in very close orbits, at least one of which is present night and day. The sky ranges from a violet to a soft pink in colour, with a bluish-mauve being the primary colour. Precipitation mainly occurs in the mountains and on the coasts. Because of the axial tilt of the planet, there is very little seasonal variation, so it is always a warm temperature.
Vellorian application for membership in the Federation was accepted in 2347, and they have been contributing members ever since. While many Vellorians travel off world, not many join Starfleet or engage themselves in Federation politics. The main exports from the planet are minerals and luxury items, including artwork and fabric.
