Dossier

The Tirensu are sentient natives of the planet Tiren. The statistics given for this species has been averaged. One of the inhabitants and a Cantor of the Tirensu is named Kritassa.

The Tirensu have been visitied by Beta Quadrant species before and are quite aware they are not the only beings in the galaxy, they have learned to be very cautious around strangers, especially the green skinned Orions of the Kintara Syndicate who last visited their planet.

The Orions came seeking the Life Vine and had to use force upon one of the natives who finally gave up its secrets.

The Tirensu are very protective of the Life Vine for a number of reasons, one of the chief of them being they revere it for the life it provides their people due to its remarkable healing properties.

Physical Description

The Tirensu are a relatively short species averaging one metre to 1.5 metres in height. They are a willowy, thin species whose average weight tops out at approximately 110 pounds. Their stature lends weight to their belief that they were created from the Life vine.

Beliefs

The Tirensu beliefs are centred primarily on the Life Vine which they believe was their progenitor (see Creation Story below). They use the Life Vine and other vines to create their homes and clothing, as well as for food provision. As a result the Tirensu are a primarily vegetarian species.
