The Flisk are a humanoid race that settled on Earth after their planet was destroyed.
Biology
Flisk are humanoid with mottled green-blue skin. They prefer damp conditions and are also telepathic; apparently being able to read the mind of humans. Flisk are also innately good at all forms of computer programming.
Technology
The Flisk had an armada, which seemed able to travel the interstellar distance between their destroyed home of Flissta and Earth. The Doctor once travelled with the armada, on board the medical frigate Talaha.
History
The Flisk originated on Flissta, which was destroyed by a stellar cataclysm around 2079, wiping out much of the race. Some survived and flew to Earth, asking to live among humans. The initial negotiations went well; however, when the Flisk revealed to the humans that they had telepathic abilities, panic swept the world. After this initial panic, the Flisk spent a long and difficult time integrating into Earth society. A number of Flisk settled in the Lake District of the UK, as it was similar to Flissta.
Many Flisk got jobs working in the computer industry, programming robots and other similar devices. However, their telepathic skills often made them figures of distrust for many of their co-workers. The Doctor and Martha encountered a number of Flisk working on the Snowglobe project in 2099. (TDA: Snowglobe 7)
