Biological Description                   := Ref. IPX Archive: Except for minor cosmetic differences Lorkans are similar to Brakiri and Humans, with the same sexual dimorphism and physiology. Aesthetically they appear to be dark haired with a mottled skin pigmentation that exceeds the hairline and presents along dorsal dermal surfaces. They are known to use biotech implants, most notably in the palms of their hand, that serve as personal defence and a power source for equipment.
Society Description                      := *IPX Archive offers a reward for new information on this race. Due to a self-imposed quarantine from other races very little is known about their social structure. * However what is known is that they are the inhabitants of Lorka 7, a planet situated in Brakiri space. The Lorkans didn't originate from this planet, but moved there some time in the 18th century (Earth time) adopting the abandoned cities and culture of the planet's former inhabitants. They believe that a religious figure known as the "Most Holy" lead the pure and sinless ancestors of the current Lorkans into this Promised Land and that immorality would bring upon them the fate of the planet's former inhabitants. They believe that the previous inhabitants were killed because they were evil.  To prevent their culture from being 'contaminated' by spiritually inferior life forms the Lorkans do not allow other races to enter Lorka 7. Contact with morally inferior outsiders would pollute and corrupt the Lorkans, they can be very stubborn over this matter. On Lorka they found the great machines and secrets and mysteries that were to be revealed only to them. The Most Holy had turned his anger against the original inhabitants and deemed them unworthy of his bounty. Because the Lorkans are in Brakiri space, they don't have an official ambassador, but they do maintain a small presence on Babylon 5. "Because of their purity, they can walk amongst others without being affected." They have recently started interacting with other races, stating: "What is moral superiority without temptation?" Reasoning that without something to test their faith, they have grown complacent and interacting with other species will be a supreme test of this faith.
General History Description              := The Most Holy appeared to their people 500 years ago and led them to Lorka 7, now a resettled planet. Colony ships arrived from another planet in the area and moved into the abandoned ruins making them their own. The Brakiri are guarantors of Lorkan security (for which the Brakiri get 10% of Lorka's economy). This raises several questions. What is a race that had space travel 500 years ago, doing, paying the Brakiri who have only had interstellar flight for about 150 years? Is it possible that the Lorkans where removed from the original home by this "Most Holy"? Also, where is this ancestral Homeworld of theirs?  The Lorkans have always seemed less advanced than their technology would imply. They didn't invent any of the stuff they just found it. Consequently they are a bit of an oxymoron in technological terms.
