Gulanee cannot survive in atmospheric or environmental conditions other than their own and must wear an encapsulation suit for protection. Without this suit, a Gulanee will die within minutes from exposure.

History
There was at least one Gulanee survivor who was part of the Votanis exodus that came to Earth in the year 2013. This Gulanee remained upon its ship during the war stayed there long after the conflict's conclusion.

In the year 2047, a piece of arkfall came to Earth, which happened to be the one that Gulanee had resided in. Lawkeeper Joshua Nolan, Niles Pottinger - the provisional mayor of Defiance, and his attendant, the BioMan known as Churchill embarked on an expedition to analyze the arkfall. The Gulanee fought against the three men, and succeeded in killing Churchill by generating an electrical charge directly into the BioMan's brain. Nolan and Pottinger managed to escape.

Equipment
All Gulanee wear a form-fitting encapsulation suit to contain their physicality and also provides them with breathable air. The suit is highly durable and can easily withstand multiple blows from a BioMan.
