The Federation has never entered the Convergence Zone, an unstable area of space where subspace eddies, white holes, and other interstellar phenomena occur. Other species, such as the Aketi, Chabanlons and others, have braved the Finnean Vortex to study the space occupied by the Federation and have even established trade centers aboard Deep Space 15 and Finnea Prime.

Each of these species, however, possess rumors of the Dolmoqour. No one has seen them, but they know they exist. Some view them as a deity, others see them as a threat. Others think that this species is mystical, having been forced into extinction millennia ago. The truth is... The Dolmoqour exist!

Physiology

The Dolmoqour are a race of parasitic micro-organisms which are able to take control of a host's nervous system. Their preferred host is an ape-like creature native to their homeworld, but they take many different animal species as hosts in order to perform different tasks.

When a Dolmoquor attaches itself to a host, the host retains full awareness of what is going on, but the parasite is able to override all brain activity. The organisms can override vocal functions as well so that they can communicate with others, infected or not affected. Another ability they possess is the ability to interrupt the short-term memories of a host, enabling the organisms to do what they need with a host and leave no trace behind of their actions, at least from the host’s point of view. The parasites can also access the full memories of their host in order to maintain their cover.
