The Tucana are a humanoid race that inhabit the planet Tucan, which has good links with the Colonies. The people are generally friendly, and while they do not want much to do with the Colonials war against the Cylons, they do sometimes help by exporting technology to the Colonies.

In 7160, the planet Tucan was attacked by the Cylons and dominated for a while, with her people in slavery, before the Colonials sent a strike force to destroy the Cylons, which they did. The Cylons did not bother with the Tucana again until after the Colonials were destroyed. Then they came back and finished the job that they started.

The Tucana are hermaphrodites which each individual having the characteristics of both sexes. In addition, they have two sets of eyes and two mouths (one female, and one male) each controlled by different parts of the brain. When speaking, both mouths usually operate at once so that the listener seems to be spoken to by two people, although the Tucana can override this and just use the one mouth when desired (such as when speaking). In addition, both mouths can operate at different times saying different things, although the Tucana must usually concentrate for this to happen.

One of their greatest exports is their arts and music. Tucana can make great singers as each Tucana can provide their own backing vocals as well as be the lead singer.

Bass Voice:

5 points
The Tucana may, if they concentrate, use their lower male voice to send out a low frequency bass tone that can shatter glass within a few metres of the Tucana. There must be no obstructions between the Tucana and the object (such as a wall) and only small items can be shattered - like wine glasses. The voice has a cone effect starting in front of the Tucana, and all shatter-able items within the cone are effected. If desired, the Tucana can concentrate on shattering just one item in front of them instead of a multitude, and in this case the item may be of slightly thicker material (but must still be shatter-able).
