Onkari

== Description ==
The Verin share a unique bond with Onkari, due to the fact that their homeworlds are both moons orbiting the same planethttps://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/series/the_nature_of_predators. The Onkari birthplace is dominated by a global rainforest, which is in stark contrast to the arid savannah-like conditions of the Verin's moon. Both races developed stargazing tools much earlier than the average sophonts, and were able to see each others' worlds. The two planets pass close to each other frequently, which led both species to christen the other's moon as "paradise" in their respective religions.
The Onkari, specializing in communications technology, were responsible for opening diplomatic contact with the Verin in their industrial era. Upon first contact, however, their networks were upgraded with alien technology, and this field lost traction. They are a primarily quadrupedal race, switching to a bipedal stance when necessary to handle tasks or objects. Due to their rainforest origins, the Onkari are arboreal creatures, with their bark-colored striped fur making them virtually invisible in tree canopies. Their main contribution to the galactic community is in the chemistry realm of energetics, where they are responsible for developing most of the demolition charges the Federation employs.
