Indorians

The Indorians are a Vulcanoid species that evolved on the planet Pyllix, also known as Indoria. They are tall, with distinctly pointed chins and ears. They have hair, like many similar species, however their hairline starts much further back, often-times behind the crown of the skull. A set of three bony ridges run down their back, a development believed to be designed to help reinforce the spinal column during heavy work.

Male and female Indorians show very little divergence in appearance. To help accommodate the lack of biological specialisation, Indorians have an unusually short gestation period, and a very long childhood, taking roughly twenty-five years for adulthood.

Natural Engineers
Indorians are often said to have an innate sense of Engineering, but a poor grasp of theory. The origins of this belief lie in neural wiring. The Indorians have a particular cortex that provides for very accurate internal modelling of not just three-dimensional concepts, but 4- and 5-D as well. Pattern-matching capacity is very advanced as well. However, their mathematical processing is weak, leading many Indorians to "wing it". Despite this, their pattern matching and internal modelling gives them a very solid innate grasp of engineering concepts, despite the lack of mathematical grounding.

The Indorian homeworld is thus full of marvels of engineering and architecture, with sweeping, bespoke skyscrapers, deep-delve mines, ocean exploration, and many other endeavours.
