Pnarran Biology

Pnarran Biology
The Pinarra are a human subset species that developed on the third planet of the Leustar system. Following a biologic development cycle remarkably similar to earth, Starfleet Officers found themselves feeling like they were home yet were a quadrant away. One notable difference between the Pinarra and Terrans is in there genetic structure. While most humanoid species have a double helix DNA sequence, the Pinarra developed a quad-helix sequence. Starfleet Scientists used these extra strands of DNA and their attached chromosomes to explain the extra abilities of the Pinarra.

Using a focal point, usually a Crystal filament encased within a tooled mineral found within their planet's crust, the Pinarra are able to manipulate their environment. As witnessed and described by the Crew of the USS Excelsior during their initial survey of gaseous anomalies just prior to the Khitomer incident the Pinarran's Abilities were equivalent to those of what ancient humans would call magic. Away from their home world, the ability to manipulate their environment is considerably less, with more effort needed to perform tasks that come easily at home. It is often times when not in their natural environment, that a verbal command is needed to direct the energy through the focus, and perform the desired task.
