Jokaero - Anatomy, Physiology and Culture: In appearance, Jokaero are heavyset, orange-furred humanoids who bear a passing resemblance to the orangutan primates of Old Earth but with retractable fingers and toes. Their physical form can be misleading to Humans as they are unparalleled masters of advanced technology.Yet none are sure whether they are truly sentient despite the fact that they are capable of remarkable acts of engineering, construction and problem solving, or are simply carrying out programmed tasks that they do not understand but have taken on the form of an instinct embedded within their psyches from birth.Though technically brilliant, the Jokaero's skills with advanced technology seem to be innate, the result of an understanding of high technology that has been gifted to them at the genetic level, in some ways similar to Ork Mekboyz.Their abilities are instinctive, and they simply seem to know from maturity how to manipulate and construct various forms of machinery and technology to produce a given effect or outcome.This ability allows them to understand technologies that are even more advanced than those of the other advanced star-faring species of the galaxy, a gift from their creators.When presented with sufficient technical components and resources, even if they have been badly damaged, a working group of Jokaero are capable of building anything from an advanced starship to a Lascannon. They are even able to create food synthesizers so long as they are have sufficient alloy and electronic components.Jokaero are known to be forever crafting new inventions and improvising ingenious equipment useful for a vareity of functions, though not always in the same way twice. They have a particular focus on the miniaturisation of existing weapon systems.Jokaero are known to live in large family groupings that consist of a dozen individuals which roam the galaxy in a random fashion with their sole objective being survival. As a result, Jokaero family groups frequently arrive on inhabited worlds of the Imperium in order to scavenge for technology or any specific components that they need.At times they are known to band together to attack specific targets in order to acquire the object that they desire. Related families often travel and work together and these groups are led by either a matriarch or a patriarch. Their natural and extraordinary technical talents mean that their weapons, equipment and tactics are fully comparable to those employed by the other starfaring races.Jokaero are quite capable of using complex and well-coordinated attacks against their targets. Potential targets can include lone power stations, farmsteads or distant mining vessel that they raid for particular loot. The Jokaero will always seek to escape with their loot before their actions attract a response from their foes.The Jokaero's mindset means that they are unable to be reasoned with and communication is seemingly impossible as it is believed that their species has no known form of spoken or written language, and no motivation beyond simple survival. How the Jokaero seemingly communicate with each other is unknown, though they do so.The technical skills of the Jokaero mean that they can serve as an incredible resource to other species who can gain control over them. However, such a task is incredibly difficult as they tend to want to build only technology that fulfills their immediate needs or those of their preferred companions.As such, attempts at capturing Jokaero to compel them to work on specific projects often fail disastrously as these xenos will simply create new inventions that allow them to escape any confinement.Inquisitorial retinues that possess a Jokaero Weaponsmith in their ranks often see the xenos immediately making its mark, as it performs minor yet perplexing modifications to the Acolytes' weapons and wargear. These "enhancements" do not always provide an advantage to the item in question but simply "feel" right to the Jokaero.This reality can be frustrating to a Jokaero's allies who balk at the unknown alterations that have been made to sanctioned Adeptus Mechanicus patterns of technology based on no clear or logical rationale. Yet, at the same time, after using the modified gear, few Acolytes will refuse the efforts of the alien weaponsmith.The random nature of the upgrades are impossible to predict, as a Jokaero is equally capable of turning a Lascannon into something far more formidable after a only few moments of inspiration, or simply add a decorative knotwork to the barrel that has no other function.
