Konor were a part of the Samdian race that developed unusual telepathic abilities by the mid 24th century. Konor is a Samdian term for "those with souls." As they originated from the planet Jokarn, they maintained golden-green skin and lavender hair all throughout their lives, unlike the other Samdians on the other planets in the Samdian sector. Also unlike other Samdians, they were more slender and willowy, and aside from sandals, they wore nothing at all (unless they were in combat) and did not adorn themselves or grow beards. They had no need for individual names, claiming they identify one another by the essence of their souls. They were governed by the Konor Council of Elders.
