Special Abilities: Brennai
are blind and deaf. All their information about their surroundings
comes from their cheekbone antennae, which give them a keen
perception of the electromagnetic fields and pulses of their
surroundings. The long tentacles that descend from the bottom of
their faces emit electromagnetic pulses, which is their only form
of communication. This method of perception enables them to sense
trouble spots in electronic systems, giving them bonuses to
diagnostic rolls.
Force Sensitive: No

Equipment:
Personal Equipment: Ushamayath tends to carry a pair of
heavy S-Beam heavy blasters (same as standard heavy blasters, 8D
damage), with a minifusion recharge pack in each holster. He tends
to carry a Brennai storpad, which records input in the form of
electromagnetic pulses, and displays it through pulses of it's own.
Other Equipment: Ushamayath is a Grade-3 Small Craft
Trader, and is thus assigned his own Lur-
Ilyan light freighter. He has spent his life savings on a
large estate on Coliyabar, the most outlying of the Brennai worlds,
and has spent a good deal of time watching the habits of the native
Ghui.
Capsule:
Race: Brennai
Sex: Male
Age: 470
Appearance:
Height: 10'10"
Weight: 510 lbs
Eyes: None
Skin: Very pale blue white

Appearance notes: Ushamayath wears an ornament in his
left ear because it's electromagnetic signature is considered
attractive, which is remarkably unpleasant to visual sight.
Clothing:
Ushamayath tends to wear the lead grey vacuum suit typical to
Brennai spacers, or nothing at all when not in space.
Retainers, henchmen, and associates:
Ushamayath is a loner, whose behavior is unusual, even for the
relatively liberal communities of small craft traders.
Common haunts and habitues:
Ushamayath tends to spend his time shuttling back and forth
between the Brennai core worlds and the more isolated planets of
the nebula, carrying his cargos. Lately he has been spending more
and more times on the edges of the nebula and on his estate, as the
Brennai develop the ability to carry war beyond their borders.
History:
Ushamayath's aptitude tests revealed that he would be an ideal
small craft trader, a necessary class of Brennai, but not a very
highly regarded one. After passing the requisite tests, he began
shuttling back and forth between the commercial centers and those
worlds too small for the megafreighters to bother visiting. His
constant traveling at the edges of the nebula has brought him into
contact with a few stranded spacers whose craft had been destroyed
by the Brennai fleet. While not willing to risk the consequences
of rescuing these individuals, he did talk to them, and has built
up a picture of the galaxy outside of the nebula more complete than
that of any other Brennai.
The Ghui of Coliyabar are the descendants of a simian race,
and while their culture and civilization where destroyed by the
Brennai millennia ago, they remain intelligent and capable of
verbal communication, something that Ushamayath is fascinated by.
Recently he has developed techniques of activation of the vocal
cords of the Ghui through electromagnetic pulses delivered through
a tendril inserted in a surgically created hole in the rear of
their skull. Ushamayath has to perform this surgery on his own,
and he is not the most talented of surgeons. However, even if he
were, the Ghui would not be able to survive long after the surgery
was conducted do to the nature of the interruption of their spinal
cord.
That Ushamayath is able to speak at all through the brains of
the Ghui is remarkable, but his control of the speech center is
less than fully complete, and Ghui under his control tend to speak
in a very deep, slow, gravelly growl, punctuated by frequent loss
of control resulting in bubbling choking sounds, though he is
working on improving that skill.
Personality:
Unlike most Brennai, Ushamayath is not an extreme xenophobe.
He does feel that the Brennai are superior to the other races, but
he feels that rather than attempting to eliminate them, they should
try to prosper through trade, and he has a deep and abiding hatred
of the Council of Elders, as he thinks that they have robbed the
Brennai of their ability to have a future, and will thus work to
undermine their efforts.
