The Thennanin are one of the most illustrious Senior Patrons of our time. Five Clients is quite a feat for a race a mere thirty million years old. The Thennanin have distinguished themselves as diplomats, ecoloists, and most recently, the most powerfull ally of Earthclan.

The Thennanin stand about seven feet tall, and resemble reptiles. Their green heads have a large beak-like mouth and a large crest of taut skin above the head. The head crest begins at the forehead and tapers as it stretches across the top of the cranium to the base of the skull. Fully extended, the crest can rise as much as a foot above the head. Encircling the neck are small breathing slits, which double as vocal organs (along with the mouth) and direct vents to the lungs. They stand bipedally with a stance similar to Humans, but with great shoulders almost twice as wide. At the elbows, there are massive bone protrusions, and the fingers have retractable claws. The Thennanin boast a complete innability to sense psi of any kind or magnitude, which puts them completely out of harms way when it comes to dealing with the psi weapons of mass destruction.

The Clan of the Thennanin are a dour race, as serious as possible at all times, with as much sense of humor as sense of psi (none). They find the Human and Tymbrimi notions of what is funny completely unable to fathom. The quickest Thennanin wit is no better than a Tymbrimi infant when it comes to humor.

Thennanin are devout followers of the Abdicator creed, and are their chief spokesrace. The Thennanin are a fanatical race, but do not deem to harm living organisms. They use more political means to achieve victory. One small factoin is currently trying to win over the Earthclan alliance with a thousand year long campaign of love. Eventually encompassing Humans and their Clients as their own.

The Thennanin are always in strict adherance to all known Galactic Laws, and respect ecology and the wellbeing of pre-clients on the same level as their own survival. They are fair and just while dealing with their Clients, and all so far have shown exceptional ability as starfaring races.

Their newest Clients, the Garthlings, are an odd story, stemming from the Garth incident. The Garthlings effectively traded themselves for the safety of their gene-brothers. And even if Earthclan does become extinct (as it very well may), than the Garthlings will live to carry on Earth's legacy.
