Description[]

From "DEADLOCK: PLANETARY CONQUEST PART II: COLONY LEADER’S GUIDEBOOK" p. 24-25

The Tolnans fell victim to the Skirineen nearly two hundred years ago. The Skirineen mercilessly attacked their planet. They had barely learned space travel and so their weapons were way behind theirs. Those Tolnans who did not escape fled to unknown parts of the galaxy in crude spaceships. They probably perished in these ships. A small group of approximately one hundred Tolnans hid in a deep bunker on Koelia III to await an evacuating rocket. The rocket apparently never took off, and these Tolnans remained trapped underground. The great-grandparents of nowadays Tolnanswere among those that planned on boarding that ship. When the Consortium members defeated the Skirineen during their last Conquest, Re'Lu and Human archaeologists started excavating Tolnan ruins. A group of them was digging under the city where their bunker was. A few of them were still living in their slowly failing contained environment. Time was weakening their lighting systems and their agricultural plots were becoming infertile. There were only fourteen of themleft.

They had never seen the sky, stars, suns, or even horizons. These things had only been told to them in song and story. Although several Tolnans had wanted to break the seal, fear of a fortified Skirineen encampment above kept them hidden. They all have great interest in your "Above World." Most of yhem have decided to become ambassadors to each race. Their quest is to discover more Tolnans or to find clues to where they may now be.

Tolnans are not humanoid. Their actual appearance has been described as "three oval-shaped spheres connected by a thin orange membrane." They have a limited psionic ability that lets them project different appearances to eye-using creatures. They never become the actual organism--the image simply reflects off the surface of an eye. One can identify Tolnan projections by the blue spots that often cover them. They have all taken the form and voice of a Human in honor of the archaeologist who discovered them.
