| | Scorpius (Farscape) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Scorpius has a highly-trained mind, enabling him to resist torture and the Scarran heat-based mind probes. | | | Within seconds of seeing Crichton for the first time, Scorpius identifies him as an imposter (of a Sebacean captain) and has him arrested. | | | He will (and does over the course of the series) lie, kill in cold blood, order the deaths of multitudes, torture innocents, and sacrifice those close to him in order to get what he wants. |

| | Scorpius |
| | Scorpius is one of the oldest constellations known - possibly even one of the original six signs of the zodiac. | | | While the sun still traverses Scorpius, it only takes nine days to do so; most of the time is spent in neighbouring Ophiuchus (which is the only constellation that the sun enters but which is not a part of the zodiac). | | | There are four Messier objects in Scorpius (some authorities put a fifth in the constellation as well: M62, but usually it is listed in Ophiuchus). |
