Anatomy

93218432s are a "near liquid" species. That is they are not completely liquid, but not solid either. They can be described as a large group of individual microbes that are linked and function together. There are no centralized nervous system, muscles or circulation systems. Each cell has their own proteins that react to certain physical and chemical stimulus, for example to heat, pressure or pH. This is then distributed to other cells chemically by the use of certain minerals like calcium and acts as their "nervous system". Nutrients are also transported similarly through cells by the use of transporter proteins. Cells on the outside can consume suitable nutrients that are then divided through every cell. There are no centralized cells for digestion. They can produce energy both aerobic and anaerobic.

The cells also have chemical consciousness so that all 93218432s are intelligent and aware of their own existence, however, unlike many other species this "brain" capability is spread around their entire "body". 93218432s also all have telepathic capability and even group of cells can communicate between each other telepathically. Communication with other races is usually done telepathically or by the use of computer software.

Reproduction

93218432s reproduce asexually by the use of mitosis though they can also share genetic material with each other if there is need for that. This, however, is not reproduction itself, but rather it is always done through mitosis. Depending on the amount of energy available new 93218432s can grow very fast and usually grow to "adult size" in two months. Once the new 93218432 has grown sufficiently the implant is implanted for better information distribution. Until then the 93218432 uses its telepathic skills to communicate.

Government

All 93218432s are part of the 93218432 Cyberocracy and as such they have a cyberocratic government.

Culture

93218432 culture is very unusual one. Due to their asexual reproduction they do not have any kind of family structure. The "people" are assigned to tasks where there is need and thus no single 93218432 ever chooses their own occupation. All knowledge from previous 93218432 is transferred genetically and any other information is supplied through the implant. Dead 93218432s are usually consumed by their own kind.

There is no religion or racial minorities although there are different kinds of 93218432s they are all equal. Telepathic powers are also commonplace and there is no restrictions to their use. They are considered natural part of life. Literature consists mainly of simple information. Other races consider the 93218432s as a very "odd" race as they do not have any kind of entertainment or arts. The 93218432s do not seem to have any interest in life except to further the growth of the species as well as their well-being.

Their architecture has been built so as to allow for the most optimal transportation and access for their own kind. This is why other species cannot utilize their facilities. 93218432s usually have a lot of tubes for personal transportation. 93218432s do not have any specific language, but communicate through thoughts and numbers, or rather "amounts". Different amounts are used to describe various things. 93218432s eat whatever they can eat, that is proteins, carbohydrates and fats that are non-toxic to them. The atmosphere also decides what they can use as nutrients. Education is transferred genetically and through an implant that is implanted in sufficiently grown 93218432s.

Technology

Despite their small numbers in the galaxy and relatively young age they are technologically advanced and have especially very advanced computer systems. However, most of their current technology is totally unknown and especially the specific functions remain a mystery.
