Dhoraxi

The Dhoraxi are a humanoid species native to the Alpha Quadrant known for their warlike nature.

Physiology
Dhoraxi appeared to be humanoids that were in general slightly larger than most humans.

However rather than regular limbs most or a large portion of Dhoraxi bodies is made up of tentacles that when intertwined serve the same function as hands and feet. These tentacles were capable of giving neural shock. As Dhoraxi covered themselves up in robes, hiding their most of their body, it made their movement over flat surfaces seem like gliding.

Dhoraxi seemingly had the ability of projecting their own consciousness to ancestors of themselves, overtaking those temporary.

However it may not be a fully natural ability as the only known example of this ever happening also involved the generation of a time warp through the use of warp engine s. It may only be possible in combination with the properties of those.

Society and Culture
The Dhoraxi are well known for their warlike and treacherous behavior, it being known even as early in the 20th century. In battle Dhoraxi tended to depend on surprise and ambush, battle tactics were not their greatest skills. They have a rigid system of tradition and law, making it difficult if not impossible to take direction actions against citizens of certain status, even if it was known that these individuals were going to commit a crime.

Dhoraxi religion teaches them having a unique form of reincarnation; that each individual was the literal sum of its ancestors. They themselves refer to it as; walking in the ages

Because of this unique conception of themselves Dhoraxi refused to contemplate the concept of ‘what if’ scenarios. For them there is only what happens.

When a member of their people, Xahd sought to change history and prevent the Federation-Dhoraxi conflict which the Dhoraxi lost, their leadership had great difficulty with the idea that changes in history are possible.

Individually Dhoraxi tend to come over as rather imperious

==History==

The Dhoraxi were already warp capable in the 20th century and were exploring and expanding into space but had not discovered Earth yet at the time.

In the 23th century there would be a brief conflict between the Federation and the Dhoraxi which the Dhoraxi lost but not before inflicting a number of casualties amongst Starfleet personnel.

Afterwards the Dhoraxi approached the Federation for an official peace treaty, sending a delegation to Starbase 14 to participate in it.

One member of the delegation, ambassador Xahd did not agree with the treaty or the fact that the Dhoraxi had lost the war. He sought to change history in favor of the Dhoraxi by sending his consciousness back in time to merge with an ancestor in the 20th century. There he informed the Dhoraxi leadership about the future history and the threat humanity and the Federation would eventually become to the Dhoraxi’s expansion.

The result was a new timeline in which the Dhoraxi were a galactic superpower that had systematically destroyed all the worlds that would have become members of the Federation one day as well as the worlds whose people would have been allied with it.

This future was prevented through actions of captain James T Kirk with the help of an individual identified as Gary Seven.
