Adult Ilanics range from 1.8 - 2.2 meters in height, and from 75 to 130 kg in weight. Their skin color ranges from pink to tan or brown, their hair varies from dark Chestnut to a light Auburn although elderly Alana Ilanics leads to gray or white with age like the racial relatives the Luxans.

**Personality:** Being social creatures they're giant City stand as massive Bastion of advanced technology allowing them to share information more efficiently. Libraries that usually the most impressive structures in the scientifically advanced cities. While they're military does not match the size and sophistication of that of the Luxan military, their police forces are well-armed and well-equipped. However this does not prevent crime, due to the fact that the criminal element is often equally well-equipped. Ilanics control many world's most of which are ruled by a council of six elected officials elected to their post by popular vote.

**Physical Description:** Ilanics and Luxans share many similar genetic traits and mating across racial species is common. Although the reason for the close similarity has been lost to Antiquity. Most Ilanic researchers believe that massive interbreeding took place when the two races first encountered each other. Still some others claim that either the Ilanics or the Luxans are the result from a long lost colonie from early attempts at deep space travel from one or the other. Most reputable scientists take this Theory with skepticism, but it would explain a great deal about their genetic similarities. Ilanics tenka are believed to have come from the interbreeding with Luxans, and like Luxans they see their tenkas as a symbol of their honor tenkas were once a sensory organ allowing the Primitive pre-Sapient species to sense the distance of objects around, them through their electromagnetic pulses. This ability was lost millions of Cycles ago. tenka still contain a large number of nerve endings making them one of the most sensitive parts of the Ilanics body.

Ilanics have very acute sense they're exceptionally Keen eyesight, and their sense of smell will not as sharp as Luxans surpasses that of many other races. They also possess their cousins circulatory problems when infected and Ilanic blood flows black you must be further stimulated until the blood becomes clear like that of a Luxans.

Ilanics possessive Keen logical mind a large number of them work as technician, medical doctors, mechanics, and scientist. Ilanics generally enjoy sharing what they have learned allowing others to access to their achievements, they feel that by sharing information they establish dominance over that individual. However they've recently become more secretive and guarded due to their ongoing war with the Scorvians.

**Homeworld:** Lania the planet is extremely close to the Homeworld and election mean the two stars are less than one light cycle from each other. Lania consist of large shallow oceans and moist swampy ground and features large populations of animal life, and though the Ilanics currently stand at the top of the food chain numerous parasites, and diseases threatened the early populist these dangers prompted the technological advancement faster than that of most races. Modern and Lana is covered in well-developed cities their massive capital of lyari is incredible network of lights and Towers visible from orbit.
