The Takarans are a humanoid species native to the planet Takara.
Takarans are characterized by an unusual anatomy, where their internal organs are not as distinct as those of most humanoids – their organ systems are much more evenly distributed around their bodies, resulting in Takarans having a very high resistance to injury. Takarans also have voluntary control over their own physiology down to a cellular level, and can place themselves in a form of stasis resembling death.
To Starfleet medical equipment, only the rate of cellular decay could verify whether a Takaran was dead or alive – a slow rate of cellular decay was indicative of a Takaran in voluntary stasis; the rate of cellular decay would be much faster if the Takaran were truly dead – this was unknown to Doctor Beverly Crusher until 2369.
Takarans are also able to put only a part of their body in stasis at a time, enabling them to slow injury in specific areas and thereby reduce the overall effects of the injury.
Physiology
- Internal organs are distributed evenly around the body
- Tissue regeneration is highly elevated
- Skin is thicker than the average humanoid's
- (This thicker skin results in a high injury resistance)
- Voluntary control over their own physiology
- (This enables this species to put a part of their body in stasis)
- Can put their whole body in stasis to a point that resembled death
