The Felysian Species:Felisians evolved from "large cat-like creatures". To clarify, they indeed look very similar to terrestrial cats, the only differences being their size (they are about 45 centimeters tall, approximately the same size as a felis sylvestris lybica, a wild African cat), and the retractile fingers. These little fingers, four per leg, along with the ability to stand erect, are what made Felisians capable of manipulating objects and creating artifacts. Although their brain (as well as their head) is much smaller than the human brain, they are, more or less, as smart as humans, because their neurons are also smaller; but despite the fact that they aren't much smarter than humans, their technology is far superior. This is mainly due to their extremely long lifespan, allowing their scientists more time to create and refine advanced theories.
At present time, Felisian technology has evolved to a point that it's reliable, complex and small enough to be safely integrated with their bodies. Technically, current Felisians are some sort of cyborgs; the body is equipped with a biologically integrated ''space suit'': their skin, and outer body parts, was in fact genetically altered to integrate with the suit. This way, they can survive potentially anywhere in whatever conditions, without having to wear large external devices limiting their movements. The suit also feeds them in emergency, by recycling biological waste, although of course, being carnivore and natural hunters, Felisians still prefers to find planets with indigenous lifeforms to hunt them. The suit also integrates a very fast and powerful microcomputer, based on optical conductors rather than on silicon. This computer's main unit is the little box visible on their back, with the primary function of controlling life support. However, a Felisian wouldn't die if that computer had a malfunction or even if it was entirely removed: simply, in such an evanesce, it couldn't survive to extreme conditions, such as in outer space, as though their genetically altered skin would still resist the absence of an atmosphere, they'd quickly freeze and suffocate because the suit's heating equipment as, together with artificial air supply, is managed by the computer. Another couple of vital functions of that computer is to protect the body from alien viruses and to cure cancer (it's frequent, because of heavy radiations)Finally, the computer controls the communication devices, allowing to remotely access external devices, such as their ships on-board computer. A little photo camera and a personal light source are attached to the small cable that brings energy and real-time data to what's called the Head-up Device (HUD). Apart from hosting the photo camera, the personal light source, and an infra-red communication unit, the HUD is connected to a couple of tiny LCD displays, placed on the eyes like a pair of contact lenses.

Etymology: probably represents the concept of separation, as a territorial bound. Often, it simply means you're unwelcome in someone else's territory. Bristly fur
Emotion:love
Associated emotion: "I love you".
Etymology:
More specifically, it sincerely means "let's have sex"… In facts, Felisians don't need much preparation for this. Sex has never been a taboo for them. They don't have problems doing it in public. Also, they don't need to be a male and a female to do that, if you get what I mean; it's 50/50, there are no such restrictions. 99% percent of Felisians do it in both ways without any problems, probably because males aren't physically much different from females. However, despite these facts, they aren't normally very prone to have sex: they often wait whole centuries before doing it again.
History:
The Felisian race is indigenous to the world Felysia in the Balastrackonastreyan system. They developed very quickly indeed, far more quickly than humans, certainly. This was mostly due to their long life spans. Because humans last only sixty to a hundred Earth years, when a truly brilliant scientist is born, he only has enough time to put forward the theories that future generations can work from, and therefore scientific advances are very slow. Felisians, however, live for anything between a hundred and a hundred and forty epocs, or about four thousand five hundred Earth years, so their sophistication progressed enormously. However, this speed of progress led the Felisians to a scientific recklessness greater even than that of humans. They developed an almost total disregard for Felysia's environment. By epoc 4100, Felysia was a foul, polluted wasteland. The Felisians had even raped their planet's only moon, Jachrastalun, of all its re sources, using its minerals to build their space-craft and its rocks to construct their massive buildings. By the end of epoc 4103, there was nothing left of Jachrastalun whatsoever. Felysia's foul and dangerous environment began to erode Felisian society, and slowly, their previously united civilization broke down into smaller, independent communities. Finally, in epoc 4112, only forty generations since the dating system was introduced, the Felisians were forced to abandon their planet as the surface became radioactive and life gradually became extinct.
Once again, their society united, and they used their excellent technological skills to terraform Five worlds within the Balastrackonastreyan system. These soon became verdant paradise planets, and all is well.The Felisians abandoned their former recklessness, and instead concentrated on slowly mapping the nearby star systems. However, this was a lengthy process, and so the Felisian scientists created a fleet of ships they called "Stardrifters" to explore the galaxy. These vessels were all equipped with the newly invented "Vimana Drives", which utilized the nuclear forces between lithium ions to accelerate the ships up to five billion times their normal speed. The Stardrifters' mission was to collect data on the galaxy, storing it in a massive database known as the Starmap. And so the Stardrifters set off into the unknown.
