Species Discussion: Tarmon Ay

by **Zania Jaarda** » Thu Dec 04, 2003 5:19 pm

Since our current storyline involves this species, here is the details as posted in the Created Species, Planets, and Characters thread. Feel free to discuss them, and to ask any questions!

Name: Tarmon Ay

Home Planet: Jyrowanda

Territory: 11,000 light years and in control of 206 planets M and L class.

Physical Description: The Tarmon Ay have the same colour of skin as humans pale and black but have many distingtive differences. They have a large bone in their skull that forces the skin out, on the forehead that have the bone vertical in the middle two parts move away go down the cheeks and re-connect in the centre of the chin. They have marking patterns all over their face that look like black war paint but is actually part of their skin. They usuallly have narrow eyes which are green where ours are white and sapphire where ours are coloured. On the back of each hand they have another bone sticking out to make an arch runing from just above the wrist to the bottom of the middle finger. They always have either long black hair or short black hair like Tuvok when they are darker.

Personality: They will prove a very challenging oppenent, they are extrelmly clever and sly like the Romulans, however they will always answer to hails. The history of the Tarmon Ay has made them a very democratic race run by an Emperor and a board of 9 Governors. These ten decide what will happen in all scenarios and will work together for the best sollution. From their time of being an Ancient race like the Terran Greek, Roman etc. they are interested in Poetry, Art, pottery, litterature and many other cultural activitties. However they may show them self as a race of intelects and peace whiich they are inside their borders when it comes to their military and space exploration they go through a complete metamorphises. They keep their intellect but become greedy and power hungray with short tempers. Say no on your second chance and there is higher liklability of you being destroyed than you ever speaking again.

Lanquages: Tarmonian and the abilty to speak every other lanquage they hear by high density neural electric brain nerves.

Special Abilities
Having muscles 60% larger than that of a human and having 140% more nerves in the muscles they have a great strengh.
Special chemicals in their body make them immune to Nano probes meaning they can only be killed not assimilated.
While Vulcans have avanced hearing the Tarmon Ay have advenced eyesite allowing them to see the movement of and ant up to 60 meters away.

Planet Info:
Name: Jyrowanda
Class: M
Atmosphere: Nitrogen Oxygen
Terrain: Mostly grass land and forestry, 60% of land water less than earth.

Tech Level: 24

Ship Specs
There are three different types of ships all mountes with powerful weaponry making them tacticaly more powerful than any species in the Alpha Quadrant.

Destroyer:
Small like the Nova
lenght: 156m
Height: 42 m
Breadth: 42 m

8 Disruptor banks similar to those on the K'Vort Bird of Prey
9 Torpedoe bays with torpedoes with the matching power of Quantum torpedoes
Defence system: Shielding similar to the Nebula but regenerates 12 time faster than any federation one Primary only
19 cm Ablative hull armour
Triple Titanium/Duranium hull

Warp Core Max Warp 9.999 for 32 hours
Transwarp Core

Battle Ship
Medium Size matches the Zealous exactly in all dimensions

Though the vessels are highly advanced their shields have a weakness to Hydrogen flames which seem little use since we don't have blow torches.

Is the Zealous crew aware of the weakness to hydrogen?

by **Zania Jaarda** » Thu Dec 04, 2003 6:55 pm

I don't believe that's been revealed to the Zealous crew. Once we learn that, the challenge will be how to create a weapon that can create a hydrogen flame in the vacuum of space.

Since flame cannot exist without oxygen, it would need some kind of oxygen canister or oxygen creation/delivery system to feed the flame upon detonation.

Vaskel, what do you think? Would something like this work once the crew discovered the weakness?

Ducane, I think you've got an excellent idea there, which could lead to one of our other storylines!

Remember the one about a new drive exploding and destroying the ship, and someone (unsatisfied with the turn of events) gathers the surviving crew to go back in time and stop what happened?

Perhaps the first attempt at installing/using a transwarp drive could result in that! And since failures can sometimes lead to greater successes, it could eventually lead to the Zealous developing a fully functional transwarp drive. ;-)

What do you think?

by **Ensign Vaskel** » Fri Dec 05, 2003 11:01 am

It does sound good and it would broden the horizon for the Zealous and I have no objectionabout it coming from the Tarmon Ay. The hydrogen thing is something I am surprised about Captain I did mention that Tyscodesium is a made up new element that is very volatile with Hydrogen and that created a Hydrogen bomb to take out the shields and reduce hull integrity to 45%

New crewmembers may not be aware of my "true" character, and it's always nice to have a "temporal paradox" mission along the line, in the future. You see this in the series, e.g. there are lots of good episodes and every now and then, they play about with ye olde timeline, altering the very nature of our existence (LOL!)

But... the future has happened and we have travelled back to tell you about this, preventing of course the chain of events ocurring, but if they had then how come we came back to alter them? A leads to B leads to C leads to A.

.......yes

About the transwarp drive, the exploding drive sounds excellent! It certainly will get everyone involved, and when we finally get our hands on a working drive, as Vaskel says, it broadens our horizons.

by **Allen Chi** » Fri Dec 05, 2003 7:53 pm

I'd like to see a scenario in which the crew becomes divided and members of the crew are thrust in to a leadership role. This would be a very good time to develop characters, revealing a new facet of a person forced to perform; or face destruction (etc.).

Get the idea?

by **Zania Jaarda** » Fri Dec 05, 2003 11:50 pm

I've talked to Vaskel already about this, and one of the ideas is to run this storyline so it will set it up for future encounters with the Tarmon Ay. That would open up the door to a whole slew of ideas, including several of the crew being taken prisoner, etc.

Don't forget, if you do have an idea for a plotline, share it on the Storyline Suggestions thread! It could be major or minor, but all ideas are welcome!

by **Lucasausems** » Sat Dec 06, 2003 6:42 am

good idea!

by **Melissa Richards** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 4:54 am

Hi

I like the new leadership role idea it sounds interesting. These Tarmon Ay sound like a real pain to defeat heh. I remember the 'Disaster' episode on ST:TNG and I really enjoyed that. It was cool seeing De'anna in a forced leadership role and I would love to see Melissa in the future thrust into something like that when she doesn't expect it.

I think a 'disaster' scenario would be cool

See, she's not even been here a week and she's plotting the destruction of the Zealous, I like her already!

by **Allen Chi** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 12:49 pm

Every simmer's dream - to destroy their own ship.
Ahh... gotta love it.

Very good point, Thess! It's just a matter of seeing if our Science Department and Engineers pick up on this fact and can find a way to integrate it into something to use against the Tarmon Ay ;-)

by **Ducane** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 1:22 pm

Lookout Tarmon Ay, we're armed with knowledge

by **Lucasausems** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 2:21 pm

Those who are not strong, must be smart....

by **Allen Chi** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 2:41 pm

Ah crap... we're not too smart

by **Ducane** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 3:05 pm

Allen, with someone like you at tactical, we have all the defense we need.

by **Lucasausems** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 3:46 pm

As long as your not busy with Melissa, remember, business before pleasure..... :wink:

by **Ducane** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 4:05 pm

Ahh yes, the old rule...
