Trakenite

The Trakenites were a race of peaceful near-human from the planet Traken. Through the Keeper of Traken, they mantained the Traken Union.

History
Long before the 20th century, the Trakenites had founded the Traken Union, a pacific and harmonious civilisation that made them known universally.

It was said that the union was so peaceful that evil would calcify when it reached the atmosphere of Traken. This union was led by five Consuls who aided the Keeper of Traken. The Keeper drew on all the minds of the entire Traken Union, a power granted by connection to the Source. Each Keeper held office for about a thousand years. Though they had access to advanced technology, many of the Trakenites lived in simple and pastoral surroundings.

The evils attracted to Traken were called "Melkurs", which literally meant "a fly trapped in honey". The Melkurs were immobile while on Traken and would deteriorate when their power no longer remained. The Trakenites felt remorse for them and took care of them until they disappeared.

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 of Traken escaped this disaster. (DW: Logopolis)

Nyssa believed herself the only survivor of this race until the Fifth Doctor and she discovered Serenity, a Trakenite colony located far outside the Union on the edge of Mutter's Spiral, which indicates that other members of the ancient Trakenite race still survived. (BFA: Primeval)
