The Triboxi were the first to achieve spaceflight through the construction of ships and were responsible for hastening first contact between the major races. This was, of course, augmented by their bonding with the Mitae. They are one of the few races to have completely joined with the Mitae. Driven by their genetic imperative to spread, the fungi-like race grew massive seed ships from the surface of their planet and set forth into space.

The Triboxi helped establish trade and communication between all races they encountered, and assisted them in the development of space flight.

The Triboxi are sexless fungoid forms that can grow and re-absorb limbs at will. They typically move about on three or four legs and grow manipulator appendages as needed. They have no torso as such, just a slightly thicker area on their body where their limbs attach. The Triboxi have no face or obvious sensory organs. Instead, the entire surface of their body serves as eyes, nose, and ears. They are able to “darken” their body surface in order to protect themselves from extreme sensory input.

Triboxi must be in physical contact with each other to communicate via chemical signals. They must also touch other races in order to communicate via their Mitae symbiote. Without the Mitae, the Triboxi would be unable to communicate with anyone but themselves.

Triboxi spawn asexually. Every few years a Triboxi will meet with two or more others and glom together, forming a kind of sac. After several days, new Triboxi will emerge. It is believed that the spawn from such a joining are amalgamated from the individuals. It is unclear whether the original Triboxi “die” in this process, so the lifespan of a Triboxi has never been determined.

Triboxi have the ability to alter materials on a molecular level through physical contact and total concentration. They can alter a material’s composition, changing it from solid to liquid to gas. They use this ability to grow organic spaceships from the raw materials of a planet and to alter the ship’s internal atmosphere to suit other life forms. This talent makes them especially adept healers, able to hasten a life form’s natural healing process.
