The Canar Crystals are most frequently used in meditation as a mental focus.  However, two Haliians (or one Haliian and another being, even if they are not psychic) who are each in physical contact with a Canar may enter full mental rapport.  This is most often, though not exclusively, used by two Haliians to create an emotional rapport preparatory to intimacy.

Histah reflexes are sharper than Terrans, and they can move quickly for a creature of their size and weight.  Their skin provides extra protection from damage.  Their eyes are on opposite sides of their head, giving them peripheral vision in addition to forward vision. and they have nictating membranes to protect their eyes from extremes of light.  They are used to a hot climate, and do not like cold.  They have a second sense for dangerous situations.  They live much longer than average, and have a very strong will, they tend not to like individuals with psychic/telepathic powers. 

Histah have a three-part name.  The example we will use is: Barshen'kas Li'Ar Shan'hadar (pronounced: Bars-hen-khas Lee-Arr Shan-ha-dar.)  The first part is really more like a planetary rank than a name.  The "Bars" section shows that this individual has been decorated by the government of the Histah more than once.  One decoration is indicated by "Bar".  No "Bar" or "Bars" would indicate no decorations.  The decorations are not given by the Histah government easily or lightly.  It is considered a great honor to be decorated once.  More than once indicates an exceptional individual.  The "Hen'kas" is a rank, in this case close to our "Captain".  The "Li'Ar" is similar to our first name.  The example would allow friends to call him "Lee", but only in private.  The "Shan'Hadar" is a combination of a family and a tribal name, with the "Shan" being the family name, and the "Hadar" being the Tribal name.  Clans are indicated by decorations on their clothing or bodies.
