The Varn are a highly advanced and technologically sophisticated species. They have a slender, elongated appearance, with smooth, almost metallic skin that varies in color from silver to gold. They possess large, almond-shaped eyes that allow them to see a broad range of the electromagnetic spectrum, as well as long, flexible fingers that can manipulate complex tools and machinery. The Varn are relatively insular and protective of their way of life, and are reluctant to share their advanced technology or knowledge with other species.
The Varn are a technologically advanced species that evolved on a neighboring planet in the same solar system as Frontiers. They came to the planet through interstellar travel, and initially faced many challenges in adapting to Frontiers' environment. Their early interactions with the Lesh were marked by conflict, but eventually, they established a peaceful equilibrium.
The Varn are a society that places great value on knowledge and scientific advancement. They believe that their technological progress is necessary for their survival and that sharing their knowledge could put their society at risk. They also believe that the other species on Frontiers are primitive and underdeveloped, which has led to a certain amount of cultural and technological superiority.
Within Varn society, there are factions that disagree about the value of sharing their technology with other species. Some believe that it is their moral obligation to help other societies develop, while others believe that it would be too great a risk. There are also factions that are more concerned with the preservation of their own culture and history than with technological progress.
The Varn use a complex language based on a series of clicks and tones, which is nearly impossible for other species to learn or reproduce. Their vocal cords are not well-suited to producing the range of sounds required for speech in other languages, so they rely on a combination of clicks and tones that can be modulated to express different meanings. They also use body language and facial expressions to convey additional information, which can be difficult for outsiders to interpret.
Having the Varn capable of verbal communication would allow for more fluid and natural interactions between them and the other characters on the show. It could also add another layer of complexity to their character development, as they may be reluctant to share their advanced technology or knowledge with other species despite being able to communicate with them.
We can make it a gradual process where the crew of the colony and the Varn have to work together to develop a communication system that can bridge the gap between their different forms of communication. This could be a major plot point for the season, and we could see the characters working through the challenges and obstacles of trying to communicate effectively with a species that has a fundamentally different way of thinking and communicating than they do. This could also provide opportunities for character development and exploration of different cultural perspectives.
For the Varn, a character could be Akara, a brilliant scientist and inventor who is highly respected among her own people but is viewed with suspicion by the Federation. Akara is fiercely independent and values her privacy, and is hesitant to share her advanced technology or knowledge with the base personnel. However, over time, she forms a close working relationship with Dr. Merle Conley, the xenobiologist, and begins to see the value in sharing her discoveries with the wider scientific community.
