Obar

The Obar are a species of bipedal arboreanoid sentients that evolved on the planet Nahr in the Tobar System, in the Okatha Sector.

The need for photosynthesis drove much of early Obar expansionism, building out wide to avoid shadowspots and committing fairly broad ecological destruction. This came to a head when they realised they were on the cusp of ending the ability for their homeworld to support Obar life. This moment of realisation brought about a unified world government.

When they met the Honiani, they received an offer to help with the ecological repair of their homeworld, which led to a lasting, long-term relationship between the two species. Eventually, together with the Yan-Ros, they formed a tripartite alliance. Then in 2323, they proceeded to join the United Federation of Planets.

The Obar were never a very militaristic people; their largest indigenous "warship," the D'ku-class combat runabout, is in the process of being phased out of the Star Kin fleet.
