The Vakari are a recently discovered race of extraterrestrials hailing from a star system within the Carina Nebula. They made voluntary contact with GATEWAY station, peaceably submitting to security procedures and decontamination protocols.
Physiology
Despite their close resemblance to humans, a Vakari's body is in many ways structured closer to that of a predatory animal. They possess the speed and agility of a hunting cat, and strength comparable to a great ape. Their bone density is roughly three times greater than that of an average human, granting them superior resilience as well as reducing their risk of injury when making powerful strikes. A Vakari's senses are similarly keen, with vision, scent, and hearing to rival our planet's most effective predators.
Psychology
Unlike most sentient species who's instincts dull as they achieve greater intelligence, Vakari possess two distinct mindsets that they can switch rapidly between. One is a 'cognitive' state mostly identical to ours; their instincts take a back seat as they focus on rational thought and complex problem solving. The other is a primal, instinctual state similar to that driving a predator as it hunts or defends its territory. The Vakari are not, however, completely feral in this state; Their reasoning still serves an advisory role as they allow themselves to otherwise be lead by their instincts. The result is a transformation into an even deadlier warrior, intelligent enough to use weapons while remaining unimpassionately guided by their senses.
