In weeks, the magma cooled off and solidified, everything returning to normal. However, a Mycon Deep Child, mistaken by the Syreen for one of the many asteroids in their system, was implanted beneath the crust of the planet, creating a huge caldera in the vicinity. Their homeworld, Syra (also known as Beta Copernicus I), was by all accounts a tropical eden.
Also unlike Humanity, Syreen society and Syreen military roles were dominated by the females of the species.Ī little more than seventy-five years before the advent of the Ur-Quan Slave War, the Syreen suffered a terrible setback. But unlike Humanity, the Syreen were unplagued by war or other great social upheaval, instead joining together until their whole world was a single, peaceful, agrarian super-community. Syreen society, like Human society, developed from hunter-gatherer tribes. Of course, the truth is more complex than such stereotypes would imply. On Earth, stereotypes of the Syreen are rampant: "Space Amazons," "Space Gypsies," "warm, breathing pinups," and other sorts abound. It is not known if Penetrator captains are chosen for exceptional psychic potential, or how common psychic potential is in the general Syreen population, although they do not evince casual telepathic powers that races such as the Pkunk or even the Zoq-Fot-Pik do. Syreen are also more psychically active than humans, to such an extent that the captain of a Penetrator starship can make use of a psychic amplifier to coerce enemy crew. 2 By scanning Syra, the former variant can be confirmed. Other sources claim that the Human diurnal cycle differs greatly from that of the Syreen, which consists of twenty hours of wakefulness followed by ten hours of rest. According to some, Humans and Syreen have nearly identical diurnal cycles, exhibiting even further similarity between the two species. Additionally, the typical Syreen is more comfortable in a slightly warmer and more humid environment than the typical Human.
#STAR CONTROL 2 SYREEN SKIN#
Physiologically and genetically, Syreen are Human: the only visible differences between the races are that Syreen skin tint is somewhat more bluish and their retinas reflect light like an Earth cat's.
