Few races are as ...... as Latisien Striking and mysterious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the first alien race encountered by the Federation on the border of the Setopia system, and also the first alien race encountered by the Federation in this strange, mysterious and tranquil extragalvanic system, it can be said that the good relationship between the Federation and Latision opened the prelude to the good communication between the Federation and the alien races, except for Tyrann.

If you look at Latisien, then you will most likely feel some discomfort, because Latisien is very different from almost all other living beings, their bodies are made of about four to eight crystals spliced together, and they are neutralized by some incomprehensible phenomenon suspended in mid-air.

Latisians had no internal organs, no blood, no bones, no bones, and no facial organs, and the time they were not moving, which was the vast majority of the time, only the natural light paths that flowed within their bodies showed a hint of their living breath.

There is no doubt that Latisien are living beings with their own emotional, moral, and social systems, but these are either too thin to be noticeable or too complex to be understood in the eyes of other races.

Latisians communicate with each other without the aid of sound or words, and they rely on subtle changes in the light they emit in a way that is almost incomprehensible to other races.

Surprisingly, Lattician are a very simple and kind race, they are born with little need and are basically not aggressive, in fact, they show an extremely slow response to external stimuli, which makes one wonder if they are real creatures.

Latisian has a long lifespan and is extremely slow to reproduce, and is inhabited by volcanoes, lava flows, like the volcanic world of Latit, which has just been exterminated by the Empire. And in the sky of Latit, the star of the Latit system: an O-type star named "unit cell" by the Federation, spewing a violent stream of high-energy particles. Its environment is so sinister that Fenris pales in comparison

While the planet is extremely uninhabitable for organic life, including Tyrann, Latision is an exception, for whom this high-temperature world of silicon crystals is like heaven.

Although Latit never left their home planet before the arrival of the Federation, Latit had almost terrifying attainments in theoretical science, such as the first time they saw the Coalition's phase navigation, they calculated their model of navigation; Although they have never and are not capable of putting theory into practice.

For this reason, the Federation has an indescribable respect for this mysterious race.

After the contact, the Federation spent decades analyzing the basic communication methods of Latticsien, and tried its best to complete the communication with them, although Latisian was not interested in the outside world, but at the same time, the theoretical science is highly developed, because of the limitations of its own crystal existence and extremely lack of applied science, Latisian expressed a close attitude towards the well-developed scientific system of the Federation, and the Federation expressed great respect for Latisian's extraordinary mathematical and physical wisdom.

In the end, the two sides reached a fairly simple agreement, Latisian has the complete and inviolable sovereignty of the world of Latisian, and Latisian can apply for no more than two volcanic worlds as colonies from the new territories of the Federation every fifty years for ten periods, until Latisian has more than twenty colonies, but at the same time, Latisian is required to send fifty Latisian scientists to join the Federal Academy of Sciences to conduct research work for a period of five years (with the option to apply for an extension), at the same time, Latisien can join the federal research programs in physics and mathematics as an individual, and the two sides maintain a shared technology.

It can be said that this agreement is too friendly and simplistic, but the meeting with Latisien is quite valuable for a federation that pursues the principle of mutual benefit, and is founded on science, reason and respect.

And for Lattician, who had difficulty moving across galaxies independently or conducting high-level applied physics experiments, their intellectual curiosity – the only definite emotion Latissien showed – was also greatly satisfied.

Social

Strictly speaking, there is no so-called social class of the rest of the race, the relationship between the other races is quite elastic and independent, they have almost no concept of material needs, their energy for life comes from light and heat, their crystal bodies directly transform the two, there is no so-called suspicion or exploitation and oppression between the rest of the races, their high level of reason and lack of emotion are especially evident in this aspect, so to speak, Aside from the pursuit of scientific development (although scientific development is much more symbolic than practical to them, which is also determined by its crystalline structure), Latisien does not care about most things.

But on the other hand, there is a strange synchronicity between Latisien, so that they can come to a unified conclusion and act on the rest of the incomprehensible situations.

Despite the extreme flattening of society, on the other hand, Latisien, who carried the most crystals on his body—often more than eight—was universally respected as the oldest and wisest scientist of the race, and although the Commonwealth did not quite know how they showed respect, it was reflected in Laticien's optical language and in their diplomatic communication with the Confederacy.

reproduction

Latisian also has no concept of gender, and their reproduction is similar to molting, with an adult Latisian producing a round crystal on their back (or behind them because they don't have the physiology of carbon-based creatures) every once in a while (usually very long), and it takes about five years for the crystal to grow to about the size of a fist, after which the adult Latisian will remove the crystal from her body. It is placed in a special incubator (roughly a room densely packed with minerals) and cared for by a dedicated Latisien, during which the prototype crystal absorbs the surrounding minerals and light, and eventually shapes its shell.

When the newborn Lattician obtains his fourth crystal, he gains independent consciousness and wisdom, thus officially becoming a member of Latisian.

Note: It should be noted that while the growth of the juvenile Latisian requires the absorption of minerals, the adult Latisian does not need anything other than light and heat to survive, and their usual consumption is so low that it is almost nothing, in addition to that, as they grow older, the crystal blocks on their body will continue to increase out of thin air.

The federal scholars were puzzled by this, and after asking them about Lattician, Latisian came up with an extremely complex formula for transformation, and this formula involved some energies and variables that the Federation could not observe, so the Federation scientists theorized that it was related to Latisian's extremely high spiritual ability.

This was also confirmed after Latisian came into contact with the Spirits.

Note: When the Federation traveled to the galaxy, more than a dozen Latticians traveled with the ship, and the novel physics data soon attracted several new batches of Latecian travelers.

Note: According to the Iyanden Spirits, Latisian possesses an unpolished but extremely high and pure psionic energy that is almost free of impurities, unlike any other type of psionic energy that the Elves have been exposed to before. Compared to the complex emotional resonance of galactic beings and subspace, Latisian's psychic abilities are as simple as 1+1=2. As a result, Elven scholars speculate that the corresponding subspace chunk of the Setopia system is still in a very proto-warp and sluggish stage. Correspondingly, Lattician's psionic abilities have never manifested anything other than moving herself and attacking with beams.
