![Jokaero Weaponsmith]()
The Jokaero are an alien race, ape-like in appearance who are capable of tremendous technological and logical feats, and who also specialize in miniaturisation technology.
In appearance, they are heavyset, orange-furred apes who bear a passing resemblance to orangutans of ancient Terra with retractable fingers and toes. Their physical form can be misleading to outsiders as they are technosavants without equal. They have proven to be a fascinating species to outsiders as none are sure whether they are truly intelligent despite the fact that they are capable of remarkable acts of engineering, construction and problem solving. This is, in fact, their most notable ability as they are technically brilliant with an innate, genetically structured understanding of technology.
Their capabilities are seemingly instinctive giving them a full understanding of machinery and technology. These traits place their understanding beyond that of even the most advanced of the known races with the possible exception of the Great Mages of the Slann. Great debates emerged on whether these simians were genuinely intelligent or simply made weapons on an instinctual basis. With sufficient - even battered - machinery, a group of Jokaero are capable of creating anything from a starship to a lascannon. They are even able to create food synthesizers so long as they are have sufficient alloy and circuitry. Jokaero are known to be forever crafting inventions and improvising ingenious equipment, though not always in the same way twice, but with a particular focus towards miniaturization.
