Title: K'ta'viiri and Althans
Post by: Destyar on July 11, 2017, 10:37:40 AM: Physically these two races are the same, with the difference being that the K'ta'viiri have an aptitude with the Essaence. Is this correct?
Is it possible for a K'ta'viiri to have Althan parentage?

Thanks,
--Desty

You are correct (until someone finds something that I said long ago that contradicts it). It's comparable to Muggles and Wizards. And yes Althans had children with Essænce abilities (also keep in mind that the race also meddled extensively with their DNA towards the end of the empire to produce and even more powerful race).

There was mingling among the clans/families, but the K'ta'viiri always considered themselves the master of the Essænce, and this was part of what led to the wars. Think of Sargon from the ST:TOS series. "We dared to think of ourselves as gods."
