Description
This is the J'apu, the first sentient race encountered by humans. This particular individual is seen running in almost full armor, missing its head and neck pieces.

History
Humans and J'apu first met through radio transmissions, and J'apu flew to a colonized human planet from their home world only 16 light years away. Humans and J'apu shared technology for about fifty years before they discovered a method for ftl travel. Both races have benefited greatly from working together, although the first years were full of trouble from xenophobia.

Biology
J'apu resemble birds most closely in their organs and systems. They are from a vertebrate-like phyla and their bodies are set up around an oddly shaped spine which splits in two near their lower back and comes together again at the base of their neck. the y have something close to a ribcage going around their front side. Their heads are long and have three eyes at the front. they have two jaws, in which are 40 teeth. Their tongue is about three feet long when fully extended and is partially prehensile.

The J'apu's bodies are covered in a scaly skin with small "skin tags" around joints and on the neck and back. They have three digits on each of their two legs and three arms (a smaller arm is on their back).

J'apu technology is similar to that of humans in advancement. In formation on thier weapons can be found @ [link]
