A Federation Member species native to the fourth planet in the Alpha Arietis system.
The Hamalki civilisation is most famous for their intense curiosity, and their "creative physics" which has been known to spark some of the most heated (and turbulent) dicussions on record at the Vulcan Science Academy.
Physiology
By some humanoids described as the "result of a collision between a chandelier and a large glass spider", the Hamalki are classified as an arachnoid silicon-based life form.
The average Hamalki stands between 1 to 1.3 meters tall and has twelve legs, arranged evenly around a rounded central body. The top of the body is furred with spines of clear glass almost too fine to see, and has a raised ridge of nubby crystal running back to front amidst the "fur"; with four eyes in the middle of the ridge, and two clusters of four eyes each near each end of the ridge.
The species communicates through chiming sounds which most humanoids find musical; due its highly mathematical properties standard Hamalki is easily rendered through a universal translator (though certain nuances of course are not always possible to be rendered in other languages).
