Ommerkets

Ommerkets are a fictional species from the science fiction novel "The Last Starship" by author R.J. Anderson. They are depicted as an ancient, nomadic race known for their unique biological adaptations and deep connection to the cosmic currents they traverse. Ommerkets are characterized by their bioluminescent qualities, which are said to fluctuate with their emotional state and the ambient energy of their environment. Their physical forms are vaguely serpentine, though they possess multiple limbs and a head structure that is difficult for other species to fully comprehend.

Their society is organized around communal living and a profound respect for the natural order of the galaxy. Ommerkets do not rely on conventional technology for propulsion or survival, instead utilizing innate abilities to manipulate gravitational fields and navigate the vastness of space. Communication among Ommerkets is believed to be a complex interplay of telepathic signals and subtle shifts in their bioluminescence, making their interactions largely inscrutable to outsiders. They are generally portrayed as peaceful and introspective, preferring to observe rather than interfere in the affairs of other sentient beings. Their long lifespans and vast knowledge of galactic history make them keepers of ancient lore and cosmic wisdom.
