Smarfeen



Race: Smarfeen

Homeworld: Orbotosh

Era: around -40 000 Tu - present

These ancient timid creatures long inhabited the forests of Orbotan plateaus, until the prospectors of Orbotan expanding export industry came. They soon found out that Smarfeens have perfect fine motor skills and are resistant to even the worst smells. These two "advantages" tore Smarfeens out of their peaceful life - whole settlements were, willingly or not, moved and employed in Orbotan tanning polygons. Single Smarfeen was able to sew six combat suits, including boots, in an hour, rapidly increasing productivity. However, combination of unhealthy environment and extreme work conditions dramaticaly raised their mortality rates.

Smarfeens are completely immune to any agressive smell, including Marrdac ammonia and BukH lotion. On the contrary, some aromatic essences and perfumes seriously damage their internal spleen. Because of this, their co-workers in tanning plkants were forbidden to use any deodorants or mouthwashes.

In today's more advanced Orbotan industry, the Smarfeens were replaced by sewing multi-sets. Practicaly all the surviving communities returned back to their forest birthland. It is said that their numbers decreased to 2-3% of the original community from thousands of Tu ago.
