Like Terrestrial life, Velan-derived life uses DNA and RNA as its fundamental genetic material, albeit with a number of different amino acids and codons. As a result, Velan biochemistry is only moderately compatible with Terrestrial life and Humans would find many things devoid of nutritional value or be outright poisonous. The differences in environmental constraints have resulted in various other differences, most notably in sensory and photosynthesis.

	Velan technology is generally seen to have been roughly comparable to modern (2195 AD) Humanity's, though with some radical differences. Firstly, the Velans do not appear to have ever developed a population of postphysical uploads or otherwise strongly superior individuals; while complex and powerful, the electroneural computational systems in Velan drones do not appear to ''perform'' any better than smart animals coupled to expert systems. Secondly they do not appear to have embraced the use of metric-modifying technology as both the Precursors and modern Humanity has done, even though at least one Velan-colonized world had enough relic Precursor dust for commercially viable extraction. As a consequence the Velan colonization and bioforming efforts must have taken millenia, pointing towards a fairly static technology base.		Velan technology is generally seen to have been (very) roughly comparable to modern (2195 AD) Humanity's, though with some radical differences. Firstly, the Velans do not appear to have ever developed a population of postphysical uploads or otherwise strongly superior individuals; while complex and powerful, the electroneural computational systems in Velan drones do not appear to ''perform'' any better than smart animals coupled to expert systems.

As a consequence the Velan colonization and bioforming efforts must have taken millenia, pointing towards a fairly static technology base.

	By contrast, the Velans had very efficient, mature nanotechnology including programable Drexler nanobots, far superior to anything non-Posthumanity has yet introduced. In fact, once the general coding and programming language used by Velan nanobots was decoded in the 2140s, it became popular to hunt down Velan drones or drone spawning sites and in a bizzare and high-tech parody of whaling, drain them of nanobots for industrial use.
