Ocampa

The Ocampa are humanoid and resemble Humans except for a few folds of skin around their ears, and in their general body size. They age very rapidly, resulting in an average life span of only nine years. Consequently, they develop and learn extremely quickly. Most of their growth takes place in the first six months and by one year old they have reached a young adult stage.

They remain in this stage for several years. Having remained young-looking for a number of years, they reach middle age sometime around their seventh year. Again their aging seems to stop, only to rapidly increase near their ninth year with the onset of the morilogium - when signs of old age begin to rapidly appear. At this stage of life the Ocampa move from middle-age to extreme old-age in the space of a few weeks, becoming confused and amnesiac before dying.

All Ocampa appear to be natural telepaths, able to mentally communicate with members of their species and those of other species, as well. Among the more unusual mental abilities exhibited by the Ocampa were photographic memories, precognition, telekinesis of varying strength, and the ability to sense and manipulate the subatomic level of matter.

Due to their rapid growth and short life-span, some Ocampa develop their mental abilities much more quickly than others, and often can lose control causing damage to themselves or things around them.

The Ocampa are associated with the United Galatic Alliance, and often work as detectives or ambassadors.
