Trakenite

The Trakenites were a race of near-Humans from the planet Traken.

A long time before the 20th century, the Trakenites had founded the Traken Union, a highly peaceful and harmonious civilization. It was said that the union was so peaceful that evil would calcify when they reached the atmosphere of Traken. This union was led by five Consuls, who were in turn led by the Keeper of Traken. The Keepr administered the entire Traken Union and was granted increased age and powers, connected to the the Source and reigning for about a thousand years. Though they had access to advanced technology, many of the Trakenites lived in relatively simple and pastoral dwellings. A known Trakenite word is Melkur, which literally means "a fly trapped in honey". It was also metaphorically used to refer to the evil creatures that were attracted to Traken and were turned to stone. (DW: The Keeper of Traken)

In 1981, the Traken Union was destroyed by a wave of entropy radiating out from the planet Logopolis. Saved and brought to Logopolis by the Watcher, Nyssa escaped this disaster. The Master had taken over the body of Nyssa's father, Tremas. (DW: Logopolis)

Nyssa believed herself the only survivor of this race. However, the existence of Serenity, a Trakenite colony located well outisde the Union on the edge of Mutter's Spiral indicates that other members of the ancient Trakenite race still survived. (BFA: Primeval)
