Encounters

How to recognize

Although a lone member of this faction might be somewhat hard to recognize. A group of individuals from this faction is surprisingly easy to identify as being part of the faction by the fact that they will have little to no recognizable members of the known races.

Likewise they tend to not have a lot of cybernetic implants unless it's a personal fashion choice in which case the visible metal parts of the implants tend to be very decorated instead of purely practical.

Prosthetics or external assistive technology tends to be absent as well, seeing as how medical injuries or disabilities are fixed with the help of bioengineering within the faction.

In the case of their spaceships, the case is the same. Recognizing an individual spaceship as being part of the faction is a hard thing to do. But if you spot a fleet of this faction is is recognizable by the fact that no two ships are alike. Some ships might have a common chassis and mass produced internal workings, but all ships go trough a personalisation process/step before being sold, making the ship unique. Without this step a product doesn't feel "finished" to the customers of this faction.

Protocol for contact

Encountering this faction is generally a rather safe experience. Although they seem to be offended by children in space, they do not act on this offense. Be on your guard if you carry children on board though.
