Ornarans

Alien Societal Survival and Addiction Crisis

Description

The Ornarans are an alien species deeply afflicted by a crippling dependency on a rare narcotic called Felicium, which they require for survival. They live under the shadow of a plague-like condition with mysterious symptoms resembling disease, driving their desperation to reclaim Felicium supplies withheld by the Brekkians. Their society is marked by physical bioelectric abilities, emotional desperation, and economic vulnerability. The Ornarans engage in a fraught symbiotic and exploitative relationship with the Brekkians, trading essential goods for Felicium while suffering under addiction and moral exploitation. Their plight triggers intense medical investigation, ethical debates, and political conflict aboard the Enterprise, positioning them as victims caught in a complex web of power, addiction, and survival.
