The Norkana are one of the "Seventy neutral species " that are found in the (former) Freespace and that are part of the First Signing of the Freespace Treaty.

They call themselves the oldest species of the galaxy but acknowledge that the Narth are older. (The Norkana hate the Narth because the Narth are what the Norkana want to be)[1]

They are declared scholars and have close relations with the Poho. They are also strictly neutral and it is generally accepted that they are indeed.[2]

The Norkana only occupy 1 planet and it appears they do very little or no exploration. There is also very little information on their society and culture. They do not allow visitors other than the Poho on their world.

Individual Norkana are known to be eager travellers and can be found travelling almost everywhere [3] They are always travelling in pairs, sometimes in company of a Poho.

The average Norkana stands 90 cm tall and they speak with a squeaky voice that often annoys members of other species.

They are obsessed and dedicated historians ad collect historic data and information but never share their own.
