Name: Hitsuji
Notes: An ovine species, the Hitsuji are a rare example of a human-like species with animal-like features, in this case sheep-like features, that evolved seperately instead of being created in the labs of the old Holy Terran Empire or the current labs of Aku's Holy Terran Empire. Unknown prior to the fall of the old Holy Terran Empire, the Hitsuji revealed themselves to the Zodiac Empire as their envoys began filtering in to help those civilians and other non-combatants who had been injured during the retreat of the remnants.
As a people, Hitsuji are not warriors. Instead, they are more likely to be healers. Recognizing the pros to Zodiac Empire membership, namely the combined medical knowledge and technologies of all other member states, they eagerly accepted the offer to join up.
The majority of Hitsuji that serve in the Imperial Starfleet are primarily medical officers. Though there are the odd exceptions, the majority keeps to the Hitsuji's racial philosophy as a people of healers.
A rare percentage of Hitsuji take their racial obsession on healing to a whole new level. These rare Hitsuji are capable of using either their own life energies or that of more basic life around them around them to psionically heal people. Though, in the case of the latter, they take their oath of not draining things fatally seriously.
Physically, Hitsuji are visually distinct from humans and other human-like species. Their hind legs end in cloven hooves; they grow large, spiraling horns from their temples; and instead of 'human ears' on the sides of their heads, they have ovine ears. Usually, they wear their ears down and, due to the fur-like covering on their ears generally being the same coloration as their hair, their ears can easily be hidden in their hair.
