Attendant


 * For the 28th century Rigellian, see Attendant (New Khitomer).

The Attendants (also referred to as Drantzuli by the Tzenkethi) are an insect-like race and the caretakers of the Hur'q. First encounter with the Drantzuli was in 2410, in the Dranuur System, when a few of them hatched from germanium eggs found by the Lukari on Dranuur's moon.

Physiology
Like the other races which evolved on Havas-Kul, Drantzuli are germanium-based creatures, smaller than the Hur'q, and their appearance somewhat reflects small scuttling beetles. Similar to the Hur'q, the attendants go through a hibernation cycle but seem to awake before them, possibly to prepare everything for the Hur'q return.

Logs found on Havas-Kul by the Alliance team suggest that while the Hur'q hibernate, the attendants look after them, protecting and maintaining planet's ecosystem and their technology.
