The Tch'Kairn are very tall, with Males reaching heights of nearly seven feet and females nearly eight feet. Biologically they are most closely related in body structure to that of a [[Human|Terran]] praying mantis. Their carapace is capable of adaptation, in that they can take on the coloartion of their surroundings and apparently their Carapace can adapt to colder environments. | The Tch'Kairn are very tall, with Males reaching heights of nearly seven feet and females nearly eight feet.

The basis is simply that all livign things are connect, so that which you do to one living thing you do to yourself. This simple application first introduced by the Tch'Kairn philosopher [[H'volik]] became the basis for the peaceful creation of Tch'Kairn society. The philosophy served them well through three different contacts with other species. It was not until the Tch'Kairn encountered the [[Waagoshin]], a warrior-like species, in the 2200's, that the philosophy failed. | ||

Due to their non-violent culture and nature, there was little resistence offered to the Waagoshin's conquest. The 'long-snouts' destroyed those Tch'Kairn ships that attempted to flee their world. One such battle site was discovered by the [[USS Hades]]. Over time, the Waagoshin began to become more aggressive and brutal as their empire through strength grew and flourished. | Due to their non-violent culture and nature, there was little resistence offered to the Waagoshin's conquest.

He was gambling on the Waagoshin's barbaric and agressive territorial nature to create and incident that would catalyze the responding species resolve. | ||
