| Lying near the Organian Neutral Zone, Aplithin is one of the more distant members of the Confederation. This class K planet is noteworthy as the home of an intelligent species of avians, bipedal creatures standing about 2 1/2 meters tall with a feathery wingspan of over 5 meters. The world's low gravity and tenuous atmoshpere give the inhabitants the power of controlled flight. Not surprisingly, Aplithinian cultural centers are located in the mountain ranges of the northern hemisphere. Since their contact with the Confederation over a century ago, Aplithin has become a full UCIP member and supports a large Confederation research installation. | |
