Species Name: Sslishmaka

General Information

Home System: Unknown, encountered in 037A, approximately 607 LY from PInastri
Home Planet:Unknown
First Contact: 230521
First Contact By: Crew of USS Shogun/CAPT Ulrich Bechir
Faction: Unknown, seems to be some kind of Temporal/Dimensional Enforcers
Government: Unknown
Violence: Aggressive towards us, but did not attack with conventional weaponry
Primary Language: Sslishmakan

Biological Information

Scientific Name: Unknown
Scientific Family: Bipedal
Skin: Dark Grey
Eyes: Purple
Auditive:Auditory Communication
Empathic: Unknown
Telepathic: Unknown
Intelligence: High
Genders:Unknown

Summary: The Sslishmaka species was first encountered by USS Shogun-A on 230521, while trying to complete a mission of mercy. They appeared moving at slipstream drive speeds without a slipstream engaged and knocked Shogun out of warp.

The Universal Translator had some difficulty with the language at first, indicating that this species has a linguistic system that was not encountered by the Federation before. Once the UT worked, the crew of USS Shogun were informed that they had violated the timeline as well as multiverse by utilizing a piece of technology found on a planet. When it was explained that the technology had co-opted ship’s systems and they had made alterations only in order to return home, the Sslishmakan Captain stated they did not believe them and passed instant judgement. The punishment was trapping USS Shogun in what appeared to be an endless slipstream tunnel to nowhere.


Timeline:

230521 - First Contact with Sslishmaka by USS Shogun-A. Judgement against USS Shogun for using technology that impact timelines and other dimensions.

Culture: Very little is known at this point, but they seem to be self appointed guardians of the timeline and multiverse. They seem extremely driven to do their jobs and have little empathy or understanding of others.

Technology: Their insect/arachnid shaped ships function using conventional engine systems but also are capable of generating slipstreams, time travel, and dimensional shift. They are greatly more advanced than the Federation.

Recommendations: While not bloodthirsty, what seems to be an unrelenting pursuit of their mission seems to be a key aspect of their society. They are more technologically advanced that Federation vessels, skipping through time and dimensions as a matter of course. Keeping a distance is probably the best way of dealing with them.

Species Name: Zelusian

General Information

Home System: Zelusia, 585 LY From Pinastri, Sector 036B
Home Planet:Zelusia IV
First Contact: 230521
First Contact By: Crew of USS Shogun/CAPT Ulrich Bechir
Faction: Federation Ally
Government: Cooperative
Violence: Peaceful
Primary Language: Zelusian (thirty three regional dialects exist)

Biological Information

Scientific Name: Homo Cobolorum
Scientific Family: Bipedal
Skin: Green/Grey
Eyes: Yellow
Auditive:Auditory Communication
Empathic: Yes
Telepathic: No
Intelligence: High
Genders:Hermaphroditic

Summary: The Zelusians are a peaceful and unified race. While not part of the Federation, they have engaged in trade treaties with them for the last thirty years on the fringes of space. This generally gentle species has strong empathetic abilities. They are also hermaphrodites, carrying both sets of sexual organs for reproduction.

Timeline:

030225 - First Contact with Zelusians by USS Aviator. Limited regular contact but regular trade and commerce is ongoing. Some groups of Zelusians want to join the Federation

Culture: Zelusian value knowledge, exploration, and harmony with nature. Their society is built on the principles of cooperation and collective progress. They possess a deep understanding of the natural world and have developed advanced sustainable technologies that allow them to harness the energy of their environment without causing harm. Their cities are marvels of architectural beauty, blending seamlessly with the Zelusian landscape. 

They excel in scientific and medical fields, offering unique perspectives and cutting-edge advancements. They have developed medical techniques that can rapidly regenerate damaged tissue and reverse the effects of certain diseases. 
*from report ENS Natalie Green

Technology: The Zelusians are warp capable but generally choose not to expore the stars unless there is scientific or medical benefit. They seem quite tied to their own world and have learned to live in environmental harmony with it

Recommendations: This relationship should be cultivated in hopes of their eventual entrance into the Federation.

Species Name: Jama

General Information

Home System: Unknown
Home Planet:Unknown
First Contact: 230528
First Contact By: Crew of USS Shogun/CAPT Ulrich Bechir
Faction: Unknown
Government: Unknown
Violence: Aggressive
Primary Language: Jama

Biological Information

Scientific Name: Unknown
Scientific Family: Unknown
Skin: Purple/Grey
Eyes: Copper
Auditive:Auditory Communication
Empathic: Unknown
Telepathic: Unknown
Intelligence: High
Genders:Unknown

Summary: The Jama were encountered in the so called Prison Dimension, which USS Shogun was sent to by self styled guardians of the timestream and dimensional conduits. Translucent and seemingly related to jellyfish or that kind of creatures, they were most intersted in owning members of the crew, especially LTjg Grayson Quigley, whom they seemed to view as a snack.

Timeline:

230528 - First Contact with Jama by USS Shogun. They attempted to bargain for a crew member and offered help in exchange for him.

Culture: Very little is known about the Jama. They were alternately charming and aggressive. They should be avoided if possible as it seems likely that they would eat your entire crew if you let them.


Technology: The Jama are warp capable and seemed to have difficulty moving past warp 8 for any length of time. They had phaser style weapons that were powerful enough to penetrate shields but not do a great deal of damage.

Recommendations: Avoid this race at all costs, they seem duplicitous and untrustworthy. They also seemed extremely intersted in obtaining members of our crew.
