The Brikar are a technologically sophisticated, roughly humanoid civilization from the low-gravity world of Brikar. They are a proud, warrior race and are members of the Federation. Though not unemotional, the Brikar have a renowned stoicism and a chauvinism that is equally famous. The Brikar have traditionally harbored a dislike for Klingons stemming from intense border disputes that occurred before the Klingon-Federation Alliance of 2293. In 2358, the Brikar attempted to form an alliance of races hostile to the Federation and made a bid to take over the Federation. The few skirmishes that were fought over a number of weeks were later called the Brikar-Federation War.

Physiology

Brikar are bipedal, roughly humanoid beings that possess very tough hides and dense physiques, making them appear like living rock statues. Unlike most other species who come from low-gravity worlds, the Brikar are immensely strong and heavy. Other low-gravity species such as the Elaysians are lithe, relatively frail beings who can hardly stand in gravities such as Earth normal. Yet the Brikar are powerfully built and quite dense. This apparent disparity lends credence to the common belief that the Brikar have genetically altered their physical make-up over the centuries, and have in effect bred themselves for physical strength. In the relatively higher Earth gravity, Brikar appear more flattened vertically than on their homeworld, and they experience some difficulty in moving. However, they retain their incredible strength.

The average Brikar is capable of lifting several tons, even in Earth gravity. Although fairly rigid in physique they can be capable of unexpected quickness. They have large lung capacities, slow metabolisms and airtight mouths, allowing them to hold their breath for 20 minutes at a stretch. They have the well-deserved reputation for being hard to scare, owing to their size, strength, and tough hides which can withstand phaser blasts that would kill humans.
