Drozan Confederate Officers

 

The Drozans are native to the planet Druzular around the star Dagzal which humans call Sirius.

Drozular is a planet with unique environmental conditions, with high levels of radiation due to Sirius's irradiation. Local life forms have had to adapt by building a carbon shield highly resistant to ionization and radiation.

There are three major Drozan phenotypes, but in reality the coloration of their epidermis (essentially a layer of glass) can not only vary greatly, but also has no real ethnic significance and depends on external and internal conditions at the time of birth. Although sometimes mistaken for silicon creatures, Drozans are not mammals, they are essentially crystal life forms, but have two sexes with fairly pronounced sexual dysmorphism (though not quite like humans or Draedar).

Thanks to their silicon nature, Drozans have a strong resistance to radiation and heat. Under stress, or in times of great need, they can even seal their orifices and survive for several minutes in the absence of air or under intense pressure or heat.

The downside of their physiology is that they can't be treated with virtually any medicine or medical device (except very basic ones) that works for other species. They rely on Drozan medical devices, specifically designed for them.

While not a prolific species, they are quite widespread in Confederate space and are often chosen as diplomats and ambassadors to other spacefaring states.

The Drozan High Council is considered a stabilizing and peaceful force within the Confederation, often mediating between other members.

This means that the Drozan, despite having enviable armed forces and a resolve no less than that of other species, prefer non-combatant roles within the Confederate navy and army.
