| - The Hikari Hikari were the first species humanity made contact with that had discovered FTL on their own. They have superior senses of hearing, smell and sight and vast strength as well as an ability to turn into large, feral beasts completely at the mercy of their instincts. Normally they stand roughly 2 meters tall and look surprisingly similar to humans, a feature seen in very few species throughout the galaxy; the only major differences in physical appearance being their long pointed ears, cat like snout and large eyes, as well as their claws and prehensile tail. The Hikari-Hikari are a vast empire that, after the Star War with humanity, have established trade treaties and are now on neutral terms. They are physically very advanced, but mentally not much more advanced than Neanderthal Man. This is in part that the evolutionary history of the Hikari Hikari is considerably longer than humans. Their planet lies in an asteroid cluster and is constantly pummeled with micrometeorites causing brief planet wide meteor showers or "hard rain." Combined with Radiation storms from their second sun, a red dwarf star, and a very active tectonic network, Planet Hikari is extremely unstable and very hostile. This has slowed the development of advanced life forms significantly, so much so that the Hikari Hikari took at least twice as long as humans to evolve to where they currently are. Most of that evolutionary period was spent creating the basic necessities to survive on Planet Hikari, 2 cm thick skin that can withstand the hard rain and solar storms, as well as considerably durable organs that can survive bodily harm. Eyes built for seeing in the dark, an advanced muscle network of at least 1200 muscles, bones stronger than steel, and a very advanced hormone system that causes the Hikari Hikari to go into a berserkergang state where they revert to a primitive feline like state. This is caused by their small body hair standing up and revealing its normally unnoticeable color as well as going on all fours and the releasing of their claws. For all of these features the Hikari Hikari are very hard to kill by human standards, and have made the Hikari Hikari believe that they are superior to all other races.
