Traskans are the race to which Utu-Noranti Pralatong belongs. Little is known about them, because the main source of Traskan information – Noranti herself – is less than reliable.
The concrete facts are that Traskans originate from the planet Traska and live approximately four to five times longer than any Human – Noranti herself is 293 cycles old, and although she is completely deranged, she is still quite a spry little spitfire, indicating she will probably live for many cycles more.
Traskans also have vastly larger ears than any other humanoid species seen in Farscape, which seem to enable them to hear sounds that are not only outside the normal range of audibility, but outside of this universe itself. Noranti is able to hear the voices of the Priests of Arnessk even while they are trapped in their odd interdimensional pocket, and she hears the secrets Aeryn is not telling John Crichton although Aeryn does not voice them.
Traskan society encourages its citizens to learn multiple professions over their long lives – Noranti herself is proficient in many disciplines, including cooking, botany, and alchemy. One of the highest positions in Traskan society is that of the Utu, the Traskan healers (apparently the equivalent of Delvian Pa'us and Luxan Oricans).
Traskans appear to worship a cosmic presence they call the Divine Eternal, although the precise nature of this entity is unknown.
This much is known for sure. However, now things become somewhat murkier. Noranti has a third eye on her forehead, which will, at seemingly random occasions, open and glow with a faint, changing light. Every time Noranti's third eye opens, unusual occurrences take place. This seems to hint that the Traskan third eye has some kind of intense power, strong enough to alter the very fabric of the universe. However, it is not clear whether ALL Traskans have the ability to utilize the magic of their third eye. Noranti is pretty clearly some kind of Traskan mystic (or at the very least, some kind of Traskan nutcase,) and with every other race that has demonstrated magical powers (the Delvian Pa'us; the Luxan Oricans,) those powers can only be accessed after intensive study. It would thus seem that Traskans can only activate their own powers after years of study or meditation, and that not all of them can change the universe at will.

Traskans possess a third eye that perceives only information of a spiritual nature. Over the years, traskans learn to control the abilities of their special eye and benefit from what they see.Noetic Eye Control
Benefit: When the noetic eye is opened, the traskan gains +2 to Sense Motive checks.This bonus increases by +1 at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter.
They also gain +1 Control Cost reduction to any Psionic or Magical powers while it is opened.This bonus increases by +1 at 10th level and every 10 levels thereafter. [Cost minimum is always 1]
Special: The noetic eye is very sensitive to injury and allergens. Whenever the eye is open the traskan must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 15 + 1 per character level) or have an allergic response for a number of rounds equal to 10 – their Constitution modifier. During this time, they suffer a –2 penalty to all rolls as they are distracted by the irritation of their noetic eye. Critical failures made while the eye is open are the result of some injury to it, which causes 1d4 + 1 per level points of damage. The traskan will not be able to use the eye for 24 hours after such an injury.
Guowmuhr
Traskans can regenerate their body within 10d6 rounds upon death, A coccoon forms around them and when they emerge they are now at the beginning of the adult aging cycle.Guowmuhr
Upon regeneration, a Traskan must make a Constitution Check of DC 15 (+1 for every time previously regenerated) or be subject to a reversion, which while result in their death within a week's time.
Traskans have 1 regeneration charge, which can be used once to stop a reversion due to a failed roll.
Guowmuhr is similar to Gallifreyan regeneration - If the Time Lord council deems it prudent, this regeneration charge can restored, and as a Gallifreyan's limit is twelve, so is a Traskan's if they manage to collect more of them before using one.
