History

Despite their heavy presence on the rim in modern times, Dzaan society did not react well to the introduction of the greater galaxy, creating a schism that divides their peoples to this day. One camp, fiercely tribal and independent, avoided contact with the “sky people” and maintained a strictly isolationist worldview. The other, led by curiosity or courage, chose to embrace change, seeing a chance to fulfill prophecies of a promised land that had been unfulfilled for generations.

事实证明，双方都有道理。孤立主义者的观点因无良奴隶贩子绑架他们、企图走私有智慧货物而得到印证。与此同时，探索者很好地融入了银河社会，以宗教般的热忱投身于已知宇宙的边缘。他们积累了丰厚财富，得以在有潜力的星球上建造富裕的聚居地。

如今，许多这样的聚居地已经成为旅游热点，为有能力支付费用的富裕人士提供绝佳天气、奢华设施和异域伴侣。源源不断的信用点资助了无数探索项目，目标是发现他们如今称为“奇迹世界”的地方。事实上，热衷冒险的 Dzaan 几乎总有定制飞船和顶尖武器。

随着最新一轮热潮到来，许多度假胜地已经关闭；这些奇异外星人的注意力牢牢投向了苍穹。只有母星上的孤立部落仍按原来的方式生活，不惜一切代价避开外来者。

外观

Dzaan 的外观几乎完全像人类，导致许多异域种族很难区分两者。尤其是 Leithan 人似乎很难辨认这些“直立双足者”，但两个种族之间确实存在显著的生物学差异。首先，Dzaan 的脊髓比 Terran 人更长，多出六节椎骨，因此躯干也更长。

他们蜿蜒的姿态很好地掩盖了多出来的体型，使胸部向前挺出，背部微微拱起。宽大的胯部和强健的肌肉腿让他们走路时带着某种性感的步态，仿佛总在以最大效果展示自己的第二性征；而脚跟处较短的肌腱使他们始终踮着脚掌行走。

两种性别通常都有深色皮肤，这是热带母星（以及偏爱的气候）留下的特征。Dzaan 终其一生只会在头上长出头发，和人类相似；不过 Alpha 通常比 Beta 少，因为他们的额头经常形成角蛋白突起，有时甚至会长成圆角。Alpha 的脸颊、肩膀、肘部、膝盖和脚部也可能出现这些隆起。在同一名 Alpha 身上，所有部位都长出隆起并不常见；许多人除了角之外什么也不会长。

Beta 没有角蛋白突起，但身上会以各种斑点或条纹装饰，有时两者都会出现，并分布在相互呼应的位置。人们曾多年研究它们形成的机制，但收效甚微，最终完全放弃。既然谁都能找便宜的纹身师为自己画出花纹，又何必花上数千万信用点去研究一种基因改造？

繁殖

Alpha Dzaan 虽然远比 Beta 少，却无一例外地在社会中扮演雄性角色，用长长的阴茎使成群的 Beta 雌性怀孕。尽管 Alpha 拥有功能正常的雌性生殖器官，但从未有记录显示一名 Alpha 成功让另一名 Alpha 受孕；究竟是文化禁忌还是生物学特性造成的，尚不得而知——奇怪的是，Alpha 却能被人类、Ausar和其他类似种族怀孕。

由于躯干更长，Dzaan 的阴道比人类长得多，而 Alpha 的阴茎也已经进化到足以填满它们。Alpha 阴茎的平均长度通常在 9 至 11 英寸之间，虽然罕见情况下也可能远远超出这一范围。两颗丰满的睾丸为这些繁殖器官提供动力，制造混有多种轻度成瘾化合物的精液。

孕期不到七个月，最终分娩出乎意料地轻松，这要归功于许多 Dzaan 宽得过分的胯部。母亲会像人类一样泌乳，为成长中的幼崽提供营养。

As they grow, they undergo two puberties, the first at age eight to nine and the second around 14 to 15. The first gives them their skin markings or keratin growths as well as increased height and muscle mass. The second brings them to full maturity, enlarging both primary and secondary sexual characteristics, particularly breasts. Alphas’ balls, prostate, seminal vesicles, and penises greatly expand at this point.

The changes females undergo are much more subdued and internally focused. The only visible one is the growth of the clitoris. It greatly expands, becoming large enough to pop out of its hood at the first hint of arousal. Tribal dzaan attach great significance to their females’ first time “popping their nub.”

Society

Nearly every alpha has a harem of his or her own, though the ones with the largest balls and most noticeable keratin typically attract the most mates. It does not take long for the beta females to become addicted to their alpha’s sexual fluids, ensuring that couplings are both frequent and binding.

Less successful alphas may only have one or two females to themselves, placing themselves in subservient, supportive roles to the alphas with the largest harem in the settlement. These hierarchical structures are more rigid amongst the traditional isolationists than the space faring explorers. Exposure to the rest of the U.G.C. has allowed a few females to mate outside their race and given rise to a small but vocal crowd of monogamous alphas.

There is little strife within their leadership structure. Power struggles are virtually unheard of - she with the largest harem is obviously in charge, and should a usurper try to upset the balance, the leading alpha’s harem would simply pin the troublemaker (and her harem) down until they’re thoroughly and completely addicted to the clan leader, creating a larger, even more powerful harem.

Actual violence and murder are quite rare, and despite their harshness with their own species, they prize freedom of choice, allowing females to select their own alpha once they come of age. Addicting an outsider is a massive faux pas; forcefully addicting an outsider is a crime worthy of exile. Due to their addictive abilities, lone alphas are generally to be treated with caution. Lone females are even more rare, but much less dangerous.

Addiction

Addiction to the fluids of a dzaan alpha is a serious and difficult-to-break habit. Few attempt it, and fewer still succeed. Researchers theorize that the cause lies in the effects of the narcotic-like cum. It enhances submissive tendencies, relaxes the imbiber, and promotes general feelings of empathy and euphoria. Tolerance can build up, but the process is slow. More importantly, even the most well-fucked beta will tell you that she still receives a thrill from servicing her mistress.

Individual alphas have slightly different chemical mixes, but it is possible for a harem member to transition to a new mistress with only a modicum of discomfort as she adapts to her new lady’s particular blend.

Because of this, many dzaan alphas interested in coupling with members of other races avail themselves of over-the-counter drugs designed to suppress their semen’s naturally addictive qualities. Whether this is to give their partners peace of mind, or to avoid the discussion altogether, varies from individual to individual.
