The varselavesh are an amphibious, hermaphroditic race of green skinned humanoids.  Their native planet of Kreshnakel has higher gravity than Earth's at 2.165G, a much thicker nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere at 4.672 atm, and an average temperature comparable to the of Earth.  Due to these factors they are extremely strong physically compared to humanity, but have a great deal of difficulty breathing in Earth's atmosphere without mechanical aid (similar to the effects of high altitudes on humans if discounting temperature effects).

=== Abilities ===
*Superior Strength:  Varselavesh are approximately twice as strong as a human, and can therefore lift heavy objects and jump great distances.
*Broad Spectrum Vision:  The varselavesh can see slightly into the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum as well as the normal visible light spectrum.
*Enhanced Smell:  The antennae of the varselavesh can sense odors at 600% the ability of humans to do so.
*Limited Taste:  The varselavesh tongue can only sense salty, sour, sweet, bitter, and delicousness, just like humans, but as it is not linked to their sense of smell, the senses do not play off of one another causing their sense of taste to be limited.
*Amphibious:  Varselavesh can breathe in both the air and the water.
*Difficulty Breathing:  Varselavesh have difficulty breathing at Earth air pressures.  This does not limit their ability to breathe underwater, but they generally use atmospheric condenser implants to assist their ability to breathe Earth's relatively thin atmosphere.
*Brainwave Reception:  The antennae of the varselavesh are sensitive enough to pick up brainwaves when in close proximity (about six feet) with a thinking being.  With practice this allows them to make an educated guess as to what an individual is thinking.  With a ''lot'' of practice they can actually read thoughts.  Almost all varselavesh can read one another's thoughts; but other species take time and practice to master.
*Pressure Tolerance:  Due to the thick atmosphere and high gravity of their home world as well as their aquatic nature varselavesh are highly resistant to high pressure.  They usually have no problem with diving into very deep water, and rarely succumb to the bends from transitioning between pressure levels quickly.

=== Reproduction ===
Varselavesh reproduce sexually, and have a single, hermaphroditic gender.  The varselavesh penis is normally retracted into the body, but extends from the body when they are sexually aroused.  Varselavesh sex is very similar to human sex.  They have similar sensations and enjoy orgasms just like humans do.  The fertility cycle of the varselavesh lasts about three months, and is very similar to human cycles.  The renewal of the womb is a bit less messy with the varselavesh, as it is biologically designed to detach its inner lining intact, which is then passed bloodlessly from their vagina in a single act as opposed to in pieces over a period of days.
=== Age ===
 
Varselavesh pregnancies last much longer than humans.  Varselavesh are pregnant for approximately 38 earth months (just over three years), but their offspring are born much more fully developed.  They have fully developed senses on birth and are usually walking in a matter of minutes.  Children feed from their mother's milk for about a year after they are born, then transition to solid food.
 
=== Aging ===
Varselavesh suffer from aging like most organic species, however like most of the species in the Galactic Federation, they can suppress and correct the effects of aging indefinitely, making them virtually immortal.  Varselavesh reach adulthood after about twenty-five Earth years.  Without anti-aging medication they begin showing signs of old age at about eighty-two years old, and can live as long as two hundred years.

Appearance

Varselavesh are surprisingly human in appearance. They have two arms and two legs with five digits on their hands and feet, just like humans. They walk with a upright, bipedal, plantigrade gait like humans. They have a single opposable thumb on their hands, and possess fingernails and toenails, like humans. They have two eyes and a mouth like humans, but possess no nose or ears; instead having a pair of antennae that are sensitive to vibrations and chemicals, thus acting as a replacement for both missing sense organs. Their eyes have no visible pupil or iris, instead appearing to be solid green. They all have breasts, which lactate and produce milk like human women. They are completely hairless, and possess supple green skin marked with spots.

Genders & Reproduction

Varselavesh reproduce sexually, and have a single, hermaphroditic gender. The varselavesh penis is normally retracted into the body, but extends from the body when they are sexually aroused. Varselavesh sex is very similar to human sex. They have similar sensations and enjoy orgasms just like humans do.

The renewal of the womb is a bit less messy with the varselavesh, as it is biologically designed to detach its inner lining intact, which is then passed bloodlessly from their vagina in a single act as opposed to in pieces over a period of days.

They have fully developed senses on birth and are usually walking in a matter of minutes. Children feed from their mother's milk for about a year after they are born, then transition to solid food.

Varselavesh reach adulthood after about twenty-five Earth years. Without anti-aging medication they begin showing signs of old age at about eighty-two years old, and can live as long as two hundred years.

Diet

Varselavesh are omnivores. Varselavesh biology is highly comparable to the organisms on earth. They have no difficulty consuming terrestrial food, and can easily derive all necessary dietary requirements from it.

Other Considerations

Varselavesh have a very easy time making themselves appear human due to the racial similarities. They are one of the few races that can do so easily.

Government & Culture

Government

Varselavesh have a technocracy. The society is governed by scientists, engineers, and technologists on the basis of scientific and technical knowledge. Participation in government is determined through the education system. Upon achieving a particular level of education a varselaveshi is expected to start weighing in on the issues that face the species. A varselaveshi can only vote on matters that they have direct expertise in. All varselaveshi have the same potential to rule within the society, and only those who know what they are talking about are allowed to express and opinion on a problem.

Economy

The varselavesh economy is a nationalist meritocratic socio-capitalism. All of the resources of the varselavesh are considered property of the state. The vital needs of all varselavesh (food, shelter, medical care, and education) are the responsibility of the state. Any surplus beyond this is divided among the population based on merit. The more one contributes to varselavesh society, the more one receives in return. This process takes the form of credits, which are exchanged for goods and services, providing a the capitalist sub-economy to their otherwise socialist system.

Interbreeding Process

The process for interspecies mating with humans is rather simple for the Varselavesh. They have an implant that contains nanites which adapts their sperm and eggs, and those of their human partner, to be receptive to the other species DNA, creating a viable hybrid. While this is designed for use with sentient species, it will actually function for any species that reproduces sexually.

Technical Goals

The technical goal of the varselavesh invasion is to gradually increase humanity's scientific and technological expertise in pace with the integration of varselavesh DNA in the human population.

Invasion Stages

Stage One

Stage one of the invasion plan is for the five invaders to separate into the five most influential nations of the Earth: The United States of America, The People's Republic of China, Japan, The United Kingdom of Great Brittan and Northern Ireland, and The Russian Federation. There they are to secure a position as a teacher, and begin indoctrinating humans into the proper way to think and act within the confines of their host country's cultural limitations. At the same time they are to begin breeding processes to produce as many hybrids as possible; and maintain contact with their offspring to ensure that they are properly reared. If a member of their group is lost, the body is to be recovered at all costs, and a replacement assigned.

Stage Two

Stage two occurs once the first generation of hybrids come of legal age. The five are to select the hybrids with the most promise, and send them to the other countries of the Earth to continue the work in these other areas. The five are to continue their Stage One mission while also overseeing the activities of their proteges.

Stage Three

Stage three occurs once all countries have a varselavesh or hybrid presence. The hybrids are to politically press the agenda of the varselavesh in their selected country, becoming candidates for office themselves only as a last resort. Once the majority of the countries are relatively inline with varselavesh dogma, the hybrids are to push for a world government.

Stage Four

Stage four occurs once the population of hybrids exceeds 50% of the human population and the world has a united government based on varselavesh values. At this point the varselavesh will petition the Galactic Council to declare Earth a territory of Kreshnakel. Once that is done, a delegation from the homeworld will arrive to negotiate the integration of Earth into their government. Victory has then been achieved.
