Litaka

The Litaka are the native inhabitants of Nuria, though they share their homeworld with the reptilian Altari. They are peaceful scientists, artists and technicians, known for their aptitude with repulsor technology, and as collectors and creators of various art objects, especially their glassworks. They reproduce slowly, intentionally keeping their population in check, and rarely leave their homeworld. This is due to massive claustrophobia suffered by almost the entire species, which prevents most of them from travelling in ordinary starships. There are exceptions, but these are rare, and usually suffer from other issues such as damaged wings.

Physiology
Litaka are birdlike creatures, with their wings spanning three meters on average. They also have a set of thin arms. Both their arms and legs end in four-clawed "hands". They have excellent farsight - a leftover from their predatory ancestors - and hollow bones. A grown Litaka weighs no more than ten kilos. While this is necessary for their aptitude at flying, it also makes them very fragile compared to humans.
