The Furgali were Discovered on the Verkot System, in the year 2359, by the Calypso Ship "Viscosity".   The Calpso had only sent a brief report that it was a low technology culture without space farring knowledge, possibly as primitive as the Lylaris.   The Calypso landed, thinking it would be a routine scouting mission... none of the crew survived the encounter.

HOMEWORLD

The Furgali planet is one of 7 in the Verkot System.   Verkot 4 to be exact, it is a rain forest type world with only a few major cities. Peculiar enough it's ocean is a giant fresh water sea, and many Furgali who have traveled off planet, have been the brunt of many jokes arising from a trip to the beach.   The planet is 1.5 Times the size of Earth as well.   Verkot 4 has a Atmosphere very similar to Earth's minus the heavy pollution. It is not a very mineral rich World as far as gems and precious metals go. Also due to the lack of a vast supply of heavy minerals there Gravity is only 3/4 that of earths even though there planet is larger.

DISCRIPTION

The Furgali themselves Sstand 5'0 to 6'0 in stature and appear fairly humanoid. Their Ears are sometimes as long as 8 Inches and look very much like that of a Feline, which are there ancestors.   they have a layer of inch thick fur on there entire bodies with longer hair where a humans hair would be. They walk as Humans and other Humanoid races do. Furgali living in a colder climate generally have fur up to 2 1/2 inches thick, though there ice caps are Quite small.   They also posses long Non-prehensal Tails used For Balance and a word of warning to any, it is a death wish to yank one, the Furgali taking it as a grave insult. They also posses Low Light Vision (sight during the day) for 60FT.   Due to there Keen Hearing they are granted a +5% on all Sound Related checks do to there sensitive Hearing. They have a dislike for the Phantoms and Androids saying they can hear their gears whirring and their mechanical components are much to noisy..no one has proved weather this is a rumor or not.

              The Furgali posses a Strict Code during combat They will Not use Any Gun Blaster, or Similar Weapon as that sort of technology was never developed on there Homeworld. Furgali also will Not Use their Retractable Claws Which are located on there hands and feet, unless mortaly wouneded, They Keep them sheathed unless climbing. Furgali Women and Men are equal in society. Though surpsingly enough when they were rediscovered in the Year 2406, By Human Colonists. These Colnists made out better only suffering minor looses and struck up a Peace Treaty with the furgali allowing the Humans Mineral rights to one of there Three moons, Feros, Alios , and Catari, to Build a Space colony, and in exchange the Humans have supplied them with varios technologies, some of which the Furgali have used more eviromentaly freindly as their respect for nature is very high.

It was a great surpise to find that they had already primitive spacecraft. This is mostly due to the fact that their very first test launch was going to occur a month after First contact with the mechalus. There ships are of a pecliar design, Though due to there dislike of loud Noise, and stives for silent effcient Machines they have stumpled upon a very advanded Stealth System on Radars located in their ships. This greatly helps that as in hand to hand combat they do not use cannons on there ships instead, they have Articulated Mechanical Arms on there ships occsionaly.

Another Technological Advance made by the Furgali was the Invention of Sonic Dampners Used to lower and if powerful enough , to totaly block Sound Vibrations in a Slamm Area. They have incorperated this technology into there weapons and armor, allowing them Silent Movement in combat When equiped With a Furgali Stealth Suit.
