CURRENT INTELLIGENCE The Taton (pronounced Tah-tuhn) are almost total opposites of the Sorel. Their culture is agrarian based, with a fair mixture of artisans and scientists. Like the Sorel, the planets in their empire have varying gravity. And like the Sorel, they have adapted with technology and training. For hundreds of years the Taton lived in peace, unaware of the sleeping dragon that is their neighbor. Finally, two hundred years ago, the Taton mustered a meager fleet of ships to stand against the Sorel. And since that time the war has been give and take. At first glance, the Taton do not appear to have the strength to stand up against the massive forces of the Sorel. But the Taton are masterful tacticians. They have an uncanny ability to see the whole picture and know which battles to lose to win the war, long before the battles are even fought. In the short span of two centuries, the Taton have strengthened their minds to accomplish their goals. Though they are not telepathic, or telekinetic they are masters of mathematics and science. The Taton People In appearance, the Taton are similar to a Klingon with ridges across their foreheads, but their skin is a pale yellow. Their hair is a ruddy orange and very fine ringing their head like an amber crown. They are not tall, and are quite stocky, from their many years of labor. Taton Starships Taton ships are amalgamated collections of technologies. Many are specialized to a specific task, be that terraforming, attack, defense, recon or exploration. Each ship has a distinctive look, but all are roughly elliptoid with an equipment module on top and twin nacelles on bottom. Their ships are quick and pack a punch, but their number are far inferior to the Sorel. Roughly, thirty to one. Again, it is their minds they have 'cultivated' to battle. Through science the Taton have built ships with strong shields and hulls. Weapons are lacking, only slightly but are made up for in ingenuity. Their ships are fast, and can be mobilized quickly. Though they are not as desperate as many resistance organizations, their ships are well suited for hit and run attacks. Equally so, they can be amassed for a strong defense.
