Double Helix

The Double Helix are carbon-based arthropods which communicate through scents and pheromones. Initial contact with the Double Helix was made by a Confederation probe on 2654.072. The probe returns to Confed space with data on a new alien race with double helix shaped space craft, hence the name. While they possess space travel technology, it is unclear if they possess jump technology.

By 2681, attempts had been made to communicate directly with the Double Helix. Doctor Justin Klein had been killed while attempting this through modified holo-link transmissions. His cerebellum had been fried by the Freneli-complex harmonic samples through which the Double Helix communicated. It was dangerous to analyse information streams from the Double Helix without the correct harmonic filters.
