Only a small amount is known about Tmirjan physiology as they are reluctant to submit to study. Only a few have even been seen as they are highly elusive. These individuals were mo more than 2 meters tall adn humanoid in shape but with 'pointed' features. Given the dynamics of their ships they must also be able to withstand intense forces.
The Tmirjan appear to be immune to all forms of psychic scans and are not affected by telekinetic weapons fielded by the Vaipen. There are no records of Tmirjan ever displaying any psychic ability.

The Tmirjan are more commonly known by their nickname, Skimmers, which
was given to them by an Earth craft on a deepspace mission towards the outer
galactic rim. All the major races have encountered the Tmirjan craft and
they appear to be able to turn up in hyperspace or normal space without
emitting any energy from jump engines. They have the ability to dissappear
from both normal space and hyperspace but where they go is unknown. It has
been concluded by most scientists that they are using a technology completely
different from all the known races. The Tmirjan craft appear to be unaffected
by gravitational fields and have been known to change course faster even than
the ships of the Korhonen: their craft do not conform to Newtonian physics.
Tmirjan craft appear similar to the 'flying saucers' reported in the mid/ late
20th century (some of which have been identified as Korhonen vessels) and seem
to be equipped with a device which prevents scanning with conventional or psychic
scanners. No power output has ever been detected except when they were
operating under extreme conditions when small amounts of neutrinos have been
emitted.The Tmirjan craft are also lightly armed with what seem to be
low power plasma beams. It's located just below the top dome of the craft and
fires a low energy beam towards any chosen target. The range of this beam is
quite low but it can rotate a full 360 degrees around the dome and the speed
and agility of the craft seem to make up for the lack of offensive capability.
Normal weaponry appears to be completely useless against them; tracking systems
do not detect them and direct hits cause no damage. There have been reports of
Tmirjan craft following Vaipen Hiveships firing ineffectually against the outer
skin of the Hiveship. If the Hiveship turns to open fire with one of it's array
of bio-weapons the Tmirjan vessel disappears, only to reappear in a different place!
When asked about the Tmirjan, the opinions of the other races differ wildly. The Elarien treat them
as a figment of their imagination. The Denan, in a characteristic display of
Denan bravado, claim to have destroyed one and used it's technology (proved untrue)
The Vaipen refuse to answer when asked about them and the Ovaska tend to become
highly agitated, calling them 'annoying, irritating pests'. What little has been
found out about the Tmirjan appears to indicate that they did not originate from
this dimension, rather they migrated here at some point in the distant past
This race is largely regarded as harmless. If you encounter one it is best to ignore it as none have ever been reported to have caused damage to any craft unless provoked.
