Perhaps your Trents are the same race/species I've conceived as part of the Kash/Galactic Unity complex (may I borrow them?).. Mine are humanoid and come from a planet with a just-barely-adequate oxygen level, so their skin has a bluish tinge to it. They are the Master Telepaths of **there**, consequently their vocal organs have all but atrophied (they can speak, but only a little squeak, embarassing and not at all appropriate to their size and power). Their folk explanation is that they stopped speaking in order to save breath........
