Vosan

The Vosans were a sentient species with the physiological classification SNLU.

They were native to a planet that had left its original solar system and drifted through the eternal darkness of interstellar space. This ultra-low-temperature environment made the Vosans frigid-blooded methane-breathers. They were most comfortable in an environment only a few degrees above absolute zero.

They had a complex mineral and liquid crystalline structure. Their eight-limbed, starfish-shaped body were quite small, averaging about one third the body mass of an adult Kelgian. They were covered in scales.

In order to allow contact with other, warmer species, Vosans were required to wear a large, complex, highly refrigerated life-support and sensor translation system, which required frequent power recharge.

Vosans lived and worked in the almost total silence of beings with a hypersensitivity to audible vibrations; their bodies would decompose at temperatures in excess of eighteen degrees above absolute zero and be instantly cremated if the temperature rose above minus one-twenty on the temperature scale in use in the Galactic Federation.
