The Varvax was a race of aliens in the Milky Way.[1]
Varvax are small creatures that float in a nutrient bath. They are surrounded by a large, inorganic exoskeleton that contains quartz and granite. When speaking, they create clicks and snaps and use many hand gestures.
The first jump they made using FTL transport occurred before the invention of the computer. As such, their technology level is much lower than humans. Their Cytonics is the most developed in the galaxy.
By their own standards, they, like all civilized species, are of Primary Intelligence. This means they are peaceful and try avoiding conflict, going so far as to apologize when they are a victim. However, not all Varvax agree with this philosophy. They subjugate their territories (including other races) using Cytonic suppression to enforce peace in the galaxy. These discontents learned how to swap minds with humans to steal their superior technology and start a war.
One of them was inhabiting the skin of Denise Carlson. Another was in Edmund.
Sonn was their foreign minister on earth.
