PLOKAVIANS

It is certainly wrong to make judgments based on subjective opinion, [ PLOKAVIANS ] but a great number of species agree that Plokavians are exceptionally ugly, in both a visual and an olfactory sense. What our crew has glimpsed of the interior of their ships was not pleasing, either.

Aesthetics simply are not a Plokavian priority. Their expertise is weaponry, and their passion is justice. They are famed as arms dealers, selling such items as Shatter Grenades, Novatrin gas, and Seismic Disruptors, as well as less-lethal but still efficient Dampening Nets, which can easily ensnare a Leviathan.

When faced with a crime, such as Talyn's sudden destruction of one of their ships, the Plokavians become committed to punishing the perpetrator, typically with execution by dispersal. To that end they imprison all possible suspects and engage them in lengthy, solitary interrogations. But the Plokavians' patience in a search for culpability is not endless; for example, when they suspected Moya's crew of lying to protect the individual who had ordered Talyn's actions, they ruthlessly decided to execute everyone.
