WE CONSIDERED OURSELVES TO BE A POWERFUL CULTURE

VESSIX

One of the very first species to travel beyond their home system, the vessix were widely known as ship builders. This advancement is often attributed to the widespread Antecedent ruins formerly found on Inaaks, their home planet, and the gate orbiting it. Even after the destruction of Inaaks their aerospace engineers are widely renowned, and though state contracts are often rejected, proxy corporations may be capable of securing cooperation.

They possess a set of secondary arms beneath the primary, as well as six eyes capable of wide spectrum reception. Because they lay eggs, typically in a clutch of only one to two, they do not readily hybridize with humans. Though theoretically capable of infinite growth and biological immortality, vessix require a regular supply of halothane gas to facilitate normal organ function.

Due to the destruction of their home planet, vessix culture has shifted somewhat to reflect their current status as a mostly space-faring species. Religion still plays a large part in day to day life, but dogma has become more emphatic about the virtues of contributing to community interests. Consumption of the required halothane was at one point highly ritualized, but after the destruction of Inaaks the practice has become more secular.
