The Gemini are a race of matrix controllers known to the peoples of the
Alliance as the Caretakers of the Universe. These silicon based life-forms are
indigenous to the Belshallon star system in Fornax. The Gemini are matrix
controllers of unprecedented power, able to generate earth, air and wind
matrices. These beings are more popularly called the Space Druids, for
they seek to understand the origins of the universe. Gemini are strong and
powerful beings made of living rock with deep set eyes and a perpetually happy
face. They are happy people who derive great pleasure from tending to forests,
lakes, animals and other various ecosystems. They love life, holding it in the
highest regard. Thus it is easy to understand why Gemini and Zen Rigeln get
along so well. Normally, the Space Druid is slow to anger and is very patient.
However, the destruction of life is something that the Gemini will not tolerate. Any person who defiles, desecrates, or damages nature while in the company of a Gemini will invoke its wrath. The Gemini physiological makeup is such that their skin is composed of flesh and stone, a mixture called StoneSkin. StoneSkin is genetically and molecularly complex tissue that possesses characteristics of tissue and silicates. StoneSkin is very dense and heavy; thus Gemini are not very fast or agile. Their body is covered with spike like nodes that provide protection. These spikes serve two other distinct functions. First, the spikes act as a ventilation system which allows the Druid to cool himself. Second, the spike play a respiratory role, for the spikes allow the StoneSkin to breath. Sonic attacks are particularly dangerous to Gemini. Gemini are subterranean creatures, preferring to venture outside only at night. Sunlight irritates their eyes. These nocturnal beings are rather fond of sunglasses and often wear them. They wear them at night as well as in the day. It looks cool!!!
