Dah'Screwe biology is of some interest to the Terran Confederation. Especially humans have an interest in the reproductive and regenerative abilities of the Dah'Screwe. Some of most famous scientists have the utmost respect for some Dah'Screwe scientists who made an incredible effort to make the abilities of their race open for research. This research mainly focuses on the afore mentioned aspects; reproduction and regeneration. What this comes down to is that this race due to the by times hostile environment of the planet they inhabit, they evolved cultivating the ability to reproduce at a very high rate and to heal from wounds caused by this environment incredibly quick.

Some races have shown interest in the last ability. They think that somewhere lies a possibility after altering Dah'Screwe genetic structures to adopt them for their own use to create a sophisticated gen that prolongs life. If this research proves to be useful remains to be seen. It should not be forgotten that these abilities formed after a long evolution. This makes the Screwee a rather young intelligent race.

What is know about this evolution can be found in many encyclopedias galacticae. The extensive material honours Dah'Screwe scientists for their openness and friendly attitude toward strangers. A small introduction however would not conflict with the nature of this document.

For detailed descriptions about the solar system and the reasons for its major impact on the Dah'Screwe homeworld, causing its most important and famous feature, we refer to other sources.

This feature regarded as the most important driving force behind Dah'Screwe intelligence by most scholars is the wind that sweeps the surface of the planet as a massive and destructive force.

The only way to escape from the wind was to live underground as most native species do. Though the conditions were hard, the planet developed as a fertile world and the abundance of food made a large variety of species possible. One of these species, called the Proto-Screw by native biologists, had it in them to become intelligent. As most creatures they lived under- ground or in caves and canyons that can be found everywhere on the planets surface. The wind carved and sculptured the most incredible formations that became shelters for the storms. The Proto-Screw were about 4 feet tall standing up. They learned to stand up to smell the air to know if danger was present. At first they crawled the ground to escape the wind. They grew claws that acted like clamps to hold on to the ground.

The Proto-Screw were among the largest creatures. Their fortune to become cave dwellers which effectively shielded them from the force of the wind, left room for a next stage in evolution. To walk in an upright position.

The Proto-Screw used their claws to dig themselves in and made large under- ground homes. The new Proto-Screw lived in holes and caves and slowly grew bigger. Their intelligence was based on the ability to predict by smell and use airpressure as a sign if danger was ahead. This allowed them to explore and learn new abilities before the wind could harm. They learned to adopt and survive.

Now, the Neo-Screw was born. Their bigger posture and advanced claws made it possible to make tools. The Neo-Screw evolved into a society ofhunter- gatherers. They lived in groups and that might be the reason for the current emphasis they put on family life. Over a period of approximately 500.000 years the Neo-Screw slowly but steadily became the Dah'Screwe.

The Dah'Screwe now stand on average as tall as a human child. It is not un- known for human children to become friends with adult Dah'Screwe thinking that they found friends of their own age. Dah'Screwe adults with their sense of family life do nothing to discourage this error of judgement. Instead, they act like children and relive their own youth.

Their shape is roundish, they have a big torso. They are very well muscled. Their legs are slightly bend, perhaps like a bear standing up. They have clawed feet that are harmless because most Dah'Screwe cut their nails. They are covered with fur in a variety of colours ranging from light to dark brown, and sometimes a mix of these colours. Dah'Screwe like to dress in cus- tom made clothes that enhance their natural fur colour. This is done by strategically placed holes and openings through where the fur can be seen. The arms are very strong and a grown Dah'Screwe male can easily lift a rock twice his weight. Their claws are very evolved and smart tools. They have 4 fingers, each with retractable claw. They can independently operate them. The fingers themselves have 2 phalanxes and the thumbs 3. If the Dah'Screwe would ever have decided in early history to become engineers, they would have posed a threat to any mechanically advancing race.

The Dah'Screwe head is shaped like an earth hedge-hog. (Please consult other sources for details on this earth animal) The snout however is more flat. Their teeth are good for plant eating and have some special characteristics that allow the crunching of insects. Their eyes are usually very dark brown but sometimes yellow and blue can be found. The ears are pointed and are stiff. Proto-Screw showed more flexible ears.

It is not known exactly how many Dah'Screwe have psi abilities, nor has it been researched much. It is suspected however that almost every individual has some sort of psychic connection with his or her family and that some families have a natural sensibility to another. This might be explained by the many relationships or the local equivalent of marriages between them.
