Olimdirs

Olimdirs is a fictional species from the science fiction novel "The Saga of the Exiles" by Julie E. Czerneda. The Olimdirs are a sentient species distinguished by their psionic abilities and their unique biological structure. They possess a highly developed collective consciousness, allowing them to communicate and share thoughts and emotions over vast distances. Physically, Olimdirs are described as having a fluid, ever-changing form, lacking a fixed shape. This adaptability allows them to exist in various environments and to manipulate their physical appearance. Their society is deeply communal, with individual identity often secondary to the needs and well-being of the group. Olimdirs are known for their wisdom and their contemplative nature, often acting as observers and mediators in galactic affairs. Their interactions with other species can be complex, as their psionic nature and fluid forms are not always understood or accepted by more physically rigid lifeforms. The narrative often explores themes of interconnectedness, identity, and the challenges of interspecies communication through the portrayal of the Olimdirs.
