|formalname=Nanotrasen Corporation|structure=Mega Business Conglomerate|othernames=Nanotrasen, NT, "The Company"}}<blockquote>“Our expansion out of Sol territory will allow us to make greater steps in technology than mankind has ever seen before. What you are seeing today is the beginning of a new golden age.”</blockquote>— ''Michael Trasen, Solar News Network interview (2507)''

Founded in the city of Aristarchus on Luna in 2123 by Joseph Trasen, the Nanotrasen corporation swiftly left an impression in the fields of computer science and research. With the invention of their modular parts system, the company held an oppressive grip on the tech industry for almost a century after their debut as other companies either purchased their products or failed to create competition. As time progressed, however, other companies would eventually create suitable competition for NT products. With their main source of income at risk, the corporation would shift focus onto a new discovery that would eventually lead to their golden age and return to oppressive dominance - plasma.

Nanotrasen’s strategy is relatively simple. If the Cybersun focus is on quality, then the NT focus is on quantity. Convenience and speed of adoption are key to this plan: If all your neighbors are using the Nanotrasen system, why bother switching to the Cybersun version? This creates a compatibility lock where relying on Syndicate tech generally cuts you out of the overwhelming Nanotrasen ecosystem, helping to enforce Nanotrasen’s monopoly around the universe. Though NT employees can come from anywhere, NT owns a handful of planets outright. These function as massive company towns for the creation and training of employees, as well as providing materials and arable land.

== Company Organization ==
Nanotrasen is led by a board of near-feudalistic old-money shareholders, and is comprised of core Nanotrasen along with several other legally distinct but still integrated brands. Those brands maintain some small level of autonomy within the greater Nanotrasen ecosystem, and are as follows:

=== Robustmore Drinkfoods ===
An unholy merger of Robust Softdrinks and Getmore Chocolate Corp forced into existence at the behest of shareholders and the rest of Nanotrasen’s corporate system. They stock vending machines and service departments the universe over. Absolutely bloodthirsty negotiators.

=== Sharplite Defense ===
A defense contractor with a heavy focus on laser technology. One of the first early adopters of Nanotrasen’s standard parts system, their work can be found in service as early as the ABCD modular stations model. The fact that those old guns still fire is a testament to their manufacturing prowess.

=== Whitt & Sudds Chemical Supply ===
A cleaning supplies producer. Though a chemical production powerhouse that supplies many of Nanotrasen’s chem dispensers, their loose grip on copyright has led to plenty of identical knockoffs, as well as landing them in hot water with the other subcorporations.

=== NewComm ===
A communications and media magnate. Responsible for the production of advertisements and propaganda, alongside a lot of goodbad television and radio drama. Revered and hated by long-range space haulers as the only reliable source of radio entertainment for light years.

=== Northwind Shipping ===
The cargo mule of Nanotrasen stations. Their express shipping pods are a universally-known product, and their focus on convenience has helped push NT to the fore. Surprisingly, they run a charity for flypeople who acquired their condition from illegally travelling in Northwind cargo pods.

=== DeForest Medical ===
Nanotrasen’s dedicated medical company. They work in tandem with Whitt & Co. to provide hyposprays, medikits, and most of the other specialized medical equipment on a Nanotrasen station. By far one of the oldest and wisest companies under the NT flag, though they lack corporate influence.

===Nanotrasen Spaceworks===
[[Nanotrasen Spaceworks|NT Spaceworks]] is the ship building arm of the Nanotrasen. They are responsible for the design and manufacture of many of the ships that roam the frontier.

== Public Relations ==
Despite being made up of several smaller companies, Nanotrasen maintains its relations and negotiates as a single entity most of the time. Neutral to SolGov and independent organizations, the only people Nanotrasen explicitly won’t sell things to are the Syndicate.

==Playing a member of this faction==
Nanotrasen is a diverse company. Goals and purposes alter between ships, though, as an employee of Nanotrasen, you should hold yourself to these standards.
*Nanotrasen is a '''for profit''' corporation. When you act on behalf of Nanotrasen, you should, ideally, benefit from it.
*Most space in the frontier was formerly owned by Nanotrasen. Now, in the period after the ICW has ended, Nanotrasen is fostering relations, reclaiming their former territory, and restoring their public image. It is in Nanotrasen's best interests to trade with and aid independents, for this very reason.
*As a large chunk of it's territory was in the frontier, Nanotrasen's most profitable ventures are, too. The still widely unknown nature of the frontier makes it a center for Nanotrasen's mining operations, research, and more clandestine activities. Most frontier vessels would be partaking in one such activity.
*If you stumble upon any of Nanotrasen's secrets hidden within the frontier, it is a loyal employee's duty to leave immediately and call a cleanup team, or launch a coverup operation of your own - maintaining Nanotrasen's public image is crucial.
As a '''Captain''', your purpose on a vessel or station is to conduct research or extract resources to further Nanotrasen's goals, and represent Nanotrasen on the frontier. You are armed, on most vessels, but you are not combat personnel - your primary goal is to command and co-ordinate crew. As a Nanotrasen Employee, you should fulfill your role and listen to the orders of your Captain or Head of Staff.

</div>
The Yeosa'Unathi are a proud race of reptiles from the planet Moghes who deeply value honor and family. Even in the space age, their society struggles with restrictive gender roles and tradition. Unlike their cousins, the Sinta'Unathi, the Yeosa'Unathi largely live underwater. As such, much of their lives is a total mystery to anyone outside...

==Game Mechanics==
NOTE: This section mentions planned mechanics that may not be fully implemented yet.

Yeosa’Unathi are extremely temperature sensitive! They hate the cold and have some heat resistance, but prefer to keep it balanced. They are also particularly sensitive to electrical shocks due to their ampullory receptors. However, they are excellent at holding their breath, and have some resistance to suffocation damage. Yeosa’Unathi are also capable of leaping, just like their Sinta cousins.
==Physiology==
Yeosa'Unathi are bipedal reptiles around 5-6 feet tall and 130-180lbs heavy. The Yeosa’Unathi have even more limited regenerative ability than the Sinta’Unathi, with many having a condition called lo’gklem, which prevents the full regeneration of limbs through natural means.

The cold-bloodedness of Yeosa’Unathi prevents them from surviving in the coldest of climates, generating and maintaining less heat than their land-based cousins.

Yeosa bodies handle food identically to their Sinta brethren, though their immune systems allow them to better resist the toxins found in some species of fish due to the heavy presence of it in their diet.

Most Yeosa’Unathi spend almost all of their lives in the water, only stepping onto the land for the sake of sunbathing. As a result, they may come off as lazy or lethargic to outsiders. Yeosa in space will often find themselves hoarding the heaters. They may very well be the most excited to visit the beach on any given crew.

Most Yeosa’Unathi are plantigrade, though with the rise of genemodding, many Yeosa spacers have opted to become digitigrade in hopes of increasing their mobility and giving them a needed advantage on land. Many Yeosa who undergo these modifications will find themselves living more land-based lifestyles than normal.

Unathi faces may resemble a number of reptiles, from lizards to gators to dragons. That said, they will always have one row of sharp teeth and a forked tongue with tips that are capable of picking up scents in the air around them.

Yeosa’Unathi also have a weakened sixth sense, only notable when underwater. Thanks to ampullary receptors located on their face and hands, they are capable of picking up bioelectric signals produced by living organisms underwater. Losing scales that cover these sensors can potentially leave these senses to become stronger and potentially painful for the individual, eventually leading to the numbing or even loss of use for said sensors over an extended period of time.

Yeosa’Unathi and Sinta’Unathi are closely related enough to produce offspring. These hybrids, often called Sinosa'Unathi, are effectively just shorter, lighter weight, and sterile Sinta'Unathi with forward-facing teeth. Sinosa'unathi are extremely rare, with only about 25% ever hatching, and their average lifespan cut significantly shorter by their numerous health issues. Their sterility and odd number of chromosomes cause Sinosa'unathi to not be considered an actual species.

===Lifecycle===
Yeosa'Unathi develop in their eggs for 1 year before hatching. Yeosa hatchlings are noticably different from even their children - for the first years of a hatchling's life, they are quadrupedal and non-sapient. Yeosa parents often need to separate their offspring to prevent the infants from killing each other, as their brains have not developed the capability to be functionally social yet. This starts to form at around 2 years of age, and Yeosa children will typically be sociable by 4 years of age. It is worth noting that Yeosa hatchlings are less aggressive than Sinta ones, with the mortality rate of Yeosa hatchlings socializing being a little over half of that of their Sinta cousins.

As they develop, Unathi children will attempt to carry themselves upright around 3 years old, finally becoming mostly-bipedal around the ages 5-6, and capable of speech by 7 or 8 years old. This period is marked by rapid growth - by the ages 14-15, Yeosa will be holding themselves upright and able to communicate on the same level of a human child of their age, if not slightly below.

Yeosa'Unathi reach full adulthood at 20 years of age, and live on average to be about 120 years old.

==Environment==
Yeosa’Unathi hail from a fairly specific part of Moghes, the depths of the planet’s sole ocean or the islands that peak through its surface. They are almost nonexistent away from the ocean or the swamps of Moghes, though Yeosa-Sinta hybrids aren’t unheard of in swamp clans.

==Culture==
Yeosa’Unathi place high regard to honor and pride, respecting those who bring glory to their families and fight with honor.
===Gender===
The Yeosa’Unathi have 4 gender roles in their society: warriors, guides, artisans, and wardens. While most of the differences are mere semantics, the role of the Warden is wholly unique to the Yeosa.

====Warriors====
Warriors are a more traditionally "masculine" gender role, and are typically expected to live and die to protect their clan. Warriors take on martial roles such as soldiers, security, or police as well as those roles that involve the direct enforcement of authority. Tax collectors and spokesmen are often warriors. Those who claim this gender are expected to follow a warrior's code of honor, which goes as follows:
*A warrior must be '''righteous''' in his actions. His dealings must remain fair and honest, his motives clear.
*A warrior must be '''merciful''' to those around him. A person in need is to be helped, a prisoner is to be treated fairly, and an unarmed foe is not to be slain.
*A warrior must take '''initiative''' to shape the world around him. Mere wishes are not enough - the world cannot improve if he does not take action to improve it.
*A warrior approaches life and its hardships with '''courage,''' always striving for victory while accepting that one cannot truly go undefeated. To fall is inevitable, one may only postpone it - a warrior must accept his defeat, and instead of bitterness towards the victor, he chooses to acknowledge their greater skill and cunning. A warrior will not compromise his ideals, and will always uphold in both words and actions what he believes is right, even when the odds are stacked against him.
*A warrior is '''loyal''' to his lord and his clan, willing to follow their commands and lay down his life for them as long as doing so does not compromise his honor.
*A warrior who's honor has been irrevocably tarnished shall surrender his name and go into exile as a '''Guwandi,''' wandering the world in hopes of falling in an honorable duel. To throw a fight, or to not fight his hardest, is permanently dishonored and separated from his ancestors.

====Guides====
Guides are what other species may describe as a more traditionally "effeminate" gender role. The role of the "guide" extends beyond just what the name suggests, however. Guides are keepers of knowledge and students of science - doctors, teachers, archivists, and researchers are all considered guides. Other guides may take on roles outside of academia, such as investigators, spies, or diplomats. While they are not held to any strict code of honor, many find themselves still following a guide's code of honor, which goes as follows:
*A guide must be '''loyal''' to her clan, her lord, and her partner - in that order.
*A guide must live with '''grace,''' presenting herself, her clan, her partner, and those below her in a positive light.
*A guide must be '''dutiful,''' keeping the clan, the home, and the servants in check.
*A guide must be '''knowledgeable,''' well educated on the world and constantly seeking to expand her understanding of the world.
*A guide must be '''tactful,''' knowing when to say - or not to say - what she knows. While this rule is emphasized for Sinta healers, Yeosa guides waver on their support for this rule.

====Artisans====
Artisans lack a translation in Galactic Common. Their work is productive to society, whether it be fishing, construction, or engineering. Much of the Yeosa working class are considered Artisans. The role of the Artisan in Yeosa society is largely defined by economic development. Artisans typically use gender-neutral pronouns, though any pronouns can generally fit them.

====Wardens====
Wardens are a role entirely unheard of on land - every few clutches may hold one member who hatches - and continues to grow - abnormally large. These Yeosa, deemed wardens, are believed to be chosen by the spirits to lead and protect their people. Wardens will often end up as priests, militia leaders, and even clan elders - regardless of physical sex. Despite their prestigious roles in Yeosa society, Wardens are expected to fulfill their assigned duties and transitioning to other roles is often frowned upon by the more traditional.
===Names===
Yeosa’Unathi use three names. Their first name is their family name, used by strangers and those they are not particularly close to. Their second name is their personal name, used by family members and close relationships. Their final name is almost a label - it may change throughout a Yeosa’s life, reflecting their goals or their job, mainly used in professional relationships and contexts.

Yeosa names involve heavy consonant usage often broken up by the vowels A, E, O, or U. They typically feature K, L, G, and R, though S and Z are not unheard of.

An example of Yeosa naming would be Oelugu Gekol Alakar. Gekol, from clan Oelugu, who strives to become a skilled cook (with “Alakar” being a word for a chef).
===Religion===
Yeosa’Unathi religion often manifests itself in ancestor worship and praising nature spirits who had forged the world. While Sinta’Unathi faiths have spread into Yeosa regions, their focus on the land has made them struggle to connect to the people.

Many Yeosa’Unathi clans, instead, engage in ancestor worship alongside worshiping massive beasts from the oceans depths who they had failed to kill. Such creatures are often seen as the avatars of nature spirits themselves, with all but the most aggressive being off-limits to whatever hunters could even pierce their thick flesh.
===Government===
Yeosa’Unathi clans may frequently work together to protect themselves from the fauna and their land-based neighbors, but their cities are still very much divided, ruled by their respective leading clans.

The Yeosa'Unathi only have one major Krukzuz, which rules over almost all of their clans. This government holds one city on the shore, and a massive tower in the middle of the Moghesan sea that reaches the bottom, but doesn't go particularly high above the surface of the water. Despite being only one building, the Sanctuary structure contains multiple cities due to the sheer area of its floors.

Clans will typically punish their worst criminals by sending them to the deepest depths of the ocean as tribute to the beasts they worship, though the practice of honor cutting is not unheard of as well.
===Holidays===
There are few universal Unathi holidays - they generally only celebrate birthdays and new years, with both of these being grand celebrations which individuals may take time
off of work to celebrate with friends and family. Beyond that, however, holidays vary widely between city to city, clan to clan.
====Birthdays====
On birthdays, it is traditional to give gifts to the guest of honor, singing praises and discussing their previous victories. A birthday is a celebration of one's continued
survival for an additional year, and a celebration of their accomplishments. Gifts, as a result, are to be related to the individual's successes in the past year.
It is not frowned upon to not give a gift to somebody one has not known for a year, and while it may be considered polite by some, it is otherwise recognized as a meaningless
gesture from one who doesn't know what they are even celebrating.
====New Years====
New Years is similar in spirit to the "christmas" tradition in many human cultures. Gifts are frequently exchanged on New Years Eve before a feast, largely consisting of largely
egg-based dishes. During New Years, it is considered rude to have leftovers on one's plate or to not have at least one full glass of the served drink. Furthermore, conversation
is expected over the meal, with a silent meal being considered a bad omen. After the meal, it is common for families to play games together before retiring for the night.
It is not uncommon for the adults to be up extremely late, seeing their children both go to bed and wake up in the morning before retiring. New Years is a vibrant, loud, and
joyous celebration of life, and being invited to a family's New Years party is considered quite the compliment.
===General Honor===
Honor codes are often tied to an unathi's gender, though some things apply across the board.

Those who have sufficiently shamed their clan are often exiled into the wastes, their family name stripped and replaced with Guwan. The Guwanji may only have their honor restored by dying in an honorable duel - to throw a fight is believed to damn one to wander the sands even in the afterlife.

One who has sufficiently dishonored their clan or rejected exile may be forced to engage in a ritual form of suicide called godr-slk, translated to Galactic Common as “Honor Cutting.” During this ritual, one kneels before a crowd while an announcer states the reasons for the ritual to the audience. The one to die proceeds to confess to each charge, without defense, before slicing their stomach open with a blade. The announcer proceeds to lead the crowd in prayer over the dying individual while they bleed out.
===Entertainment===
Sports are particularly popular among Yeosa’Unathi, the most popular - Spineball - involving using one’s tail to strike a ball into a goal. Human spectators have compared it to a combination of soccer and hockey. Originally a Sinta sport, the Yeosa have grown particularly fond of it. Yeosan Spineball comes with an additional catch - a lightweight ball that will float upwards being struck into goals on the bottom of the arena.

This catch comes from another traditional Yeosan sport, Bubbleball, which is played in a similar manner - however, it heavily utilizes using one’s hands and feet to control the ball. To use one’s tail in Bubbleball is, in fact, considered cheating.

Besides Bubbleball and Spineball, other popular Yeosa’Unathi sports include Aqualthon and Spearfishing.

Moghes films have a sort of mythological feeling to their stories, often featuring heroes and gods conquering various challenges and battles. Human mythology would fit in well among the vast collection of Yeosa’Unathi films. Gods from clans outside of the ones that produce the film are presented in a similar light to mortals, and it is not unusual to find a film being highly sacreligious in one clan also being highly beloved by another because of the same reasons.

</div>
The Sinta'Unathi are a proud race of reptiles from the planet Moghes who deeply value honor and family. Even in the space age, their society struggles with restrictive gender roles and tradition.

==Game Mechanics==
Note: The following includes planned features that may not yet be fully implemented.

Sinta'Unathi are able to handle higher temperatures, but suffer in colder ones. Sinta’Unathi are famous for their leap that allows them to cross a short distance in a shorter period of time, but suffer some cooldown for it.
==Physiology==
Sinta'Unathi are bipedal reptiles around 6-7 feet tall and 140-240lbs heavy. They have some regenerative ability, but it takes place over a long period of time, determined by a complex number of factors.

While mostly cold-blooded, Sinta'Unathi have some level of temperature regulation and are able to inhabit the polar regions of the planet with warm enough clothing. They can survive cold temperatures, but not comfortably.

Their diet consists mostly of meat, though they are capable of eating fruits and vegetables. All Sinta’Unathi are allergic to wheat, though whether this is on contact or on consumption varies from person to person.

Sinta’Unathi bodies are highly efficient with water, and can go a day without needing to drink - though they still often choose to drink juices from various local plants for extra nutrition alongside meals as well as flavor.

Most Sinta’Unathi are plantigrade, though with the rise of genemodding, many Sinta warriors have opted to become digitigrade in hopes of increasing their mobility. There is debate on whether or not these modifications are dishonorable, causing them to be despised in some clans and considered highly attractive in others.

Unathi faces may resemble a number of reptiles, from lizards to gators to dragons. That said, they will always have one row of sharp teeth and a forked tongue with tips that are capable of picking up scents in the air around them.

===Lifecycle===
Sinta'Unathi develop in their eggs for 1 year before hatching. Sinta hatchlings are noticably different from even their children - for the first years of a hatchling's life, they are quadrupedal and non-sapient. Sinta parents often need to separate their offspring to prevent the infants from killing each other, as their brains have not developed the capability to be functionally social yet. This starts to form at around 3 years of age, and Sinta children will typically be sociable by 5 years of age.

As they develop, Unathi children will attempt to carry themselves upright around 3 years old, finally becoming mostly-bipedal around the ages 5-6, and capable of speech by 6 or 7 years old. This period is marked by rapid growth - by the ages 12-14, Sinta will be holding themselves upright and able to communicate on the same level of a human child of their age, if not slightly below.

Sinta'Unathi reach full adulthood at 20 years of age, and live on average to be about 120 years old.

==Environment==
Sinta’Unathi hail from Moghes, a desert wasteland with a singular ocean. Their populations are between the poles and the equator, with few cities at the extremes due to their harsher locations. Sinta’Unathi typically live in drier areas, and can go longer than most sapient species without water.
==Culture==
Sinta'Unathi place high regard to honor and pride, respecting those who bring glory to their families and fight with honor.
===Names===
Sinta'Unathi have a two-name structure involving a personal name as well as a family name. Until they reach teenage years, they simply use the personal name of one of their parents. It is considered improper to refer to a Unathi by their personal name if you are not good friends, family, or lovers.

Sinta'Unathi names involve heavy consonant usage with short, susurated vowels. They typically feature K, R, S, and Z heavily, and it's not unheard of for their names to not feature vowels at all.

An example of Sinta naming would be Sress Kzsasha, the individual Sress being from the Kzsasha family or clan.
===Gender===
The Sinta’Unathi have 3 gender roles in their society, though as the world progresses, these may prove insufficient for all possible roles one may actually fall into.

====Warriors====
Warriors are a more traditionally "masculine" gender role, and are typically expected to live and die to protect their clan. Warriors take on martial roles such as soldiers, security, or police as well as those roles that involve the direct enforcement of authority. Tax collectors, governors, and spokesmen are often warriors. Those who claim this gender are expected to follow a warrior's code of honor, which goes as follows:
*A warrior must be '''righteous''' in his actions. His dealings must remain fair and honest, his motives clear.
*A warrior must be '''merciful''' to those around him. A person in need is to be helped, a prisoner is to be treated fairly, and an unarmed foe is not to be slain.
*A warrior must take '''initiative''' to shape the world around him. Mere wishes are not enough - the world cannot improve if he does not take action to improve it.
*A warrior approaches life and its hardships with '''courage,''' always striving for victory while accepting that one cannot truly go undefeated. To fall is inevitable, one may only postpone it - a warrior must accept his defeat, and instead of bitterness towards the victor, he chooses to acknowledge their greater skill and cunning. A warrior will not compromise his ideals, and will always uphold in both words and actions what he believes is right, even when the odds are stacked against him.
*A warrior is '''loyal''' to his lord and his clan, willing to follow their commands and lay down his life for them as long as doing so does not compromise his honor.
*A warrior who's honor has been irrevocably tarnished shall surrender his name and go into exile as a '''Guwandi,''' wandering the world in hopes of falling in an honorable duel. To throw a fight, or to not fight his hardest, is permanently dishonored and separated from his ancestors.

====Healers====
Healers are what other species may describe as a more traditionally "effeminate" gender role. The role of the "healer" extends beyond just what the name suggests, however. Healers are keepers of knowledge and students of science - doctors, teachers, archivists, and researchers are all considered healers. Other healers may take on roles outside of academia, such as investigators, spies, or diplomats. While they are not held to any strict code of honor, many find themselves still following a healer's code of honor, which goes as follows:
*A healer must be '''loyal''' to her clan, her lord, and her partner - in that order.
*A healer must live with '''grace,''' presenting herself, her clan, her partner, and those below her in a positive light.
*A healer must be '''dutiful,''' keeping the clan, the home, and the servants in check.
*A healer must be '''knowledgeable,''' well educated on the world and constantly seeking to expand her understanding of the world.
*A healer must be '''tactful,''' knowing when to say - or not to say - what she knows. While a warrior is expected to be honest and direct, a healer is not.

====Fishers====
Fishers lack a translation in Galactic Common. Their work is productive to society, whether it be fishing, construction, or engineering. Much of the Sinta working class are considered Fishers. The role of the Fisher in Sinta society is largely defined by economic development. Fishers typically use gender-neutral pronouns, though any pronouns can generally fit them.

===Government===
Sinta'Unathi are a heavily divided species, each clan its own nation - the largest comparing in size to the larger European states, with the smallest being contained to one or two city holds. Every clan is managed differently.

Typically, one to three families hold government positions, running their hold as either a monarchy or a form of parliament. Membership to a ruling family is often required, though an increasing number of clans are beginning to open up these positions to those in power.

Clans that do not feature the death penalty may still exile their worst offenders to the wastes, which typically results in their demise anyway.

Those who have sufficiently shamed their clan are often exiled into the wastes, their family name stripped and replaced with Guwan. The Guwanji may only have their honor restored by dying in an honorable duel - to throw a fight is believed to damn one to wander the sands even in the afterlife.

One who has sufficiently dishonored their clan or rejected exile may be forced to engage in a ritual form of suicide called godr-slk, translated to Galactic Common as “Honor Cutting.” During this ritual, one kneels before a crowd while an announcer states the reasons for the ritual to the audience. The one to die proceeds to confess to each charge, without defense, before slicing their stomach open with a blade. The announcer proceeds to lead the crowd in prayer over the dying individual while they bleed out.

In a few cases, multiple clans may join together to form an overarching government, called a '''Krukzuz''' in their native tongue - though there are no clear differences between a Krukzuz and a nation, and these terms may be used interchangably. Krukzuz political structures have drastic differences between nations, ranging from democracy to monarchy, and are mostly defined by their scale and influence.

===Religion===
Sinta’Unathi religion often manifests itself in ancestor worship and praising nature spirits who had forged the world.
====Th'akh====
The most common Unathi religion is Th’akh. This religion involves honoring nature spirits and proving one’s devotion to them in hopes of being granted peace in the afterlife. They believe there are many spirits, for things in nature that are both living and not. Spiteful spirits are said to cause tragedies, natural disasters, and other forms of major misfortune. The Th’akh believe that the conflict between good and evil spirits runs throughout history with neither side ever truly prevailing - good still exists in the darkest hours, and evil still exists in the brightest.
====Au'takh====
Less common and far more controversial are the Au’takh. Claiming to be part of the Th’akh faith, they are largely denounced by them as “soul mutilators” and “disgrace to Sinta.” Largely welcoming to those displaced by outer society, the Au’takh believe in self-actualization and physical augmentation. While most Sinta faiths emphasize the importance of family, tradition, and authorities, the Au’takh frequently reject many of these values, instead emphasizing individualism and personal liberty.
===Holidays===
There are few universal Unathi holidays - they generally only celebrate birthdays and new years, with both of these being grand celebrations which individuals may take time
off of work to celebrate with friends and family. Beyond that, however, holidays vary widely between city to city, clan to clan.
====Birthdays====
On birthdays, it is traditional to give gifts to the guest of honor, singing praises and discussing their previous victories. A birthday is a celebration of one's continued
survival for an additional year, and a celebration of their accomplishments. Gifts, as a result, are to be related to the individual's successes in the past year.
It is not frowned upon to not give a gift to somebody one has not known for a year, and while it may be considered polite by some, it is otherwise recognized as a meaningless
gesture from one who doesn't know what they are even celebrating.
====New Years====
New Years is similar in spirit to the "christmas" tradition in many human cultures. Gifts are frequently exchanged on New Years Eve before a feast, largely consisting of largely
egg-based dishes. During New Years, it is considered rude to have leftovers on one's plate or to not have at least one full glass of the served drink. Furthermore, conversation
is expected over the meal, with a silent meal being considered a bad omen. After the meal, it is common for families to play games together before retiring for the night.
It is not uncommon for the adults to be up extremely late, seeing their children both go to bed and wake up in the morning before retiring. New Years is a vibrant, loud, and
joyous celebration of life, and being invited to a family's New Years party is considered quite the compliment.
===General Honor===
Honor codes are often tied to an unathi's gender, though some things apply across the board.

Those who have sufficiently shamed their clan are often exiled into the wastes, their family name stripped and replaced with Guwan. The Guwanji may only have their honor restored by dying in an honorable duel - to throw a fight is believed to damn one to wander the sands even in the afterlife.

One who has sufficiently dishonored their clan or rejected exile may be forced to engage in a ritual form of suicide called godr-slk, translated to Galactic Common as “Honor Cutting.” During this ritual, one kneels before a crowd while an announcer states the reasons for the ritual to the audience. The one to die proceeds to confess to each charge, without defense, before slicing their stomach open with a blade. The announcer proceeds to lead the crowd in prayer over the dying individual while they bleed out.
===Entertainment===

Sports are particularly popular among Sinta’Unathi, the most popular - Spineball - involving using one’s tail to strike a ball into a goal. Human spectators have compared it to a combination of soccer and hockey.

Besides Spineball, other popular Sinta’Unathi sports include wrestling and fencing.

Moghes films have a sort of mythological feeling to their stories, often featuring heroes and gods conquering various challenges and battles. Human mythology would fit in well among the vast collection of Sinta’Unathi films. Gods from clans outside of the ones that produce the film are presented in a similar light to mortals, and it is not unusual to find a film being highly sacreligious in one clan also being highly beloved by another because of the same reasons.

The Yeosa'Unathi are a proud race of reptiles from the planet Moghes who deeply value honor and family. Even in the space age, their society struggles with restrictive gender roles and tradition. Unlike their cousins, the Sinta'Unathi, the Yeosa'Unathi largely live underwater. As such, much of their lives is a total mystery to anyone outside...

==Game Mechanics==
NOTE: This section mentions planned mechanics that may not be fully implemented yet.

Yeosa’Unathi are extremely temperature sensitive! They hate the cold and have some heat resistance, but prefer to keep it balanced. They are also particularly sensitive to electrical shocks due to their ampullory receptors. However, they are excellent at holding their breath, and have some resistance to suffocation damage. Yeosa’Unathi are also capable of leaping, just like their Sinta cousins.
==Physiology==
Yeosa'Unathi are bipedal reptiles around 5-6 feet tall and 130-180lbs heavy. The Yeosa’Unathi have even more limited regenerative ability than the Sinta’Unathi, with many having a condition called lo’gklem, which prevents the full regeneration of limbs through natural means.

The cold-bloodedness of Yeosa’Unathi prevents them from surviving in the coldest of climates, generating and maintaining less heat than their land-based cousins.

Yeosa bodies handle food identically to their Sinta brethren, though their immune systems allow them to better resist the toxins found in some species of fish due to the heavy presence of it in their diet.

Most Yeosa’Unathi spend almost all of their lives in the water, only stepping onto the land for the sake of sunbathing. As a result, they may come off as lazy or lethargic to outsiders. Yeosa in space will often find themselves hoarding the heaters. They may very well be the most excited to visit the beach on any given crew.

Most Yeosa’Unathi are plantigrade, though with the rise of genemodding, many Yeosa spacers have opted to become digitigrade in hopes of increasing their mobility and giving them a needed advantage on land. Many Yeosa who undergo these modifications will find themselves living more land-based lifestyles than normal.

Unathi faces may resemble a number of reptiles, from lizards to gators to dragons. That said, they will always have one row of sharp teeth and a forked tongue with tips that are capable of picking up scents in the air around them.

Yeosa’Unathi also have a weakened sixth sense, only notable when underwater. Thanks to ampullary receptors located on their face and hands, they are capable of picking up bioelectric signals produced by living organisms underwater. Losing scales that cover these sensors can potentially leave these senses to become stronger and potentially painful for the individual, eventually leading to the numbing or even loss of use for said sensors over an extended period of time.

Yeosa’Unathi and Sinta’Unathi are closely related enough to produce offspring. These hybrids, often called Sinosa'Unathi, are effectively just shorter, lighter weight, and sterile Sinta'Unathi with forward-facing teeth. Sinosa'unathi are extremely rare, with only about 25% ever hatching, and their average lifespan cut significantly shorter by their numerous health issues. Their sterility and odd number of chromosomes cause Sinosa'unathi to not be considered an actual species.
==Environment==
Yeosa’Unathi hail from a fairly specific part of Moghes, the depths of the planet’s sole ocean or the islands that peak through its surface. They are almost nonexistent away from the ocean or the swamps of Moghes, though Yeosa-Sinta hybrids aren’t unheard of in swamp clans.

==Culture==
Yeosa’Unathi place high regard to honor and pride, respecting those who bring glory to their families and fight with honor.
===Gender===
The Yeosa’Unathi have 4 gender roles in their society: warriors, guides, artisans, and wardens. While most of the differences are mere semantics, the role of the Warden is wholly unique to the Yeosa.

====Warriors====
Warriors are a more traditionally "masculine" gender role, and are typically expected to live and die to protect their clan. Warriors take on martial roles such as soldiers, security, or police as well as those roles that involve the direct enforcement of authority. Tax collectors and spokesmen are often warriors. Those who claim this gender are expected to follow a warrior's code of honor, which goes as follows:
*A warrior must be '''righteous''' in his actions. His dealings must remain fair and honest, his motives clear.
*A warrior must be '''merciful''' to those around him. A person in need is to be helped, a prisoner is to be treated fairly, and an unarmed foe is not to be slain.
*A warrior must take '''initiative''' to shape the world around him. Mere wishes are not enough - the world cannot improve if he does not take action to improve it.
*A warrior approaches life and its hardships with '''courage,''' always striving for victory while accepting that one cannot truly go undefeated. To fall is inevitable, one may only postpone it - a warrior must accept his defeat, and instead of bitterness towards the victor, he chooses to acknowledge their greater skill and cunning. A warrior will not compromise his ideals, and will always uphold in both words and actions what he believes is right, even when the odds are stacked against him.
*A warrior is '''loyal''' to his lord and his clan, willing to follow their commands and lay down his life for them as long as doing so does not compromise his honor.
*A warrior who's honor has been irrevocably tarnished shall surrender his name and go into exile as a '''Guwandi,''' wandering the world in hopes of falling in an honorable duel. To throw a fight, or to not fight his hardest, is permanently dishonored and separated from his ancestors.

====Guides====
Guides are what other species may describe as a more traditionally "effeminate" gender role. The role of the "guide" extends beyond just what the name suggests, however. Guides are keepers of knowledge and students of science - doctors, teachers, archivists, and researchers are all considered guides. Other guides may take on roles outside of academia, such as investigators, spies, or diplomats. While they are not held to any strict code of honor, many find themselves still following a guide's code of honor, which goes as follows:
*A guide must be '''loyal''' to her clan, her lord, and her partner - in that order.
*A guide must live with '''grace,''' presenting herself, her clan, her partner, and those below her in a positive light.
*A guide must be '''dutiful,''' keeping the clan, the home, and the servants in check.
*A guide must be '''knowledgeable,''' well educated on the world and constantly seeking to expand her understanding of the world.
*A guide must be '''tactful,''' knowing when to say - or not to say - what she knows. While this rule is emphasized for Sinta healers, Yeosa guides waver on their support for this rule.

====Artisans====
Artisans lack a translation in Galactic Common. Their work is productive to society, whether it be fishing, construction, or engineering. Much of the Yeosa working class are considered Artisans. The role of the Artisan in Yeosa society is largely defined by economic development. Artisans typically use gender-neutral pronouns, though any pronouns can generally fit them.

====Wardens====
Wardens are a role entirely unheard of on land - every few clutches may hold one member who hatches - and continues to grow - abnormally large. These Yeosa, deemed wardens, are believed to be chosen by the spirits to lead and protect their people. Wardens will often end up as priests, militia leaders, and even clan elders - regardless of physical sex. Despite their prestigious roles in Yeosa society, Wardens are expected to fulfill their assigned duties and transitioning to other roles is often frowned upon by the more traditional.
===Names===
Yeosa’Unathi use three names. Their first name is their family name, used by strangers and those they are not particularly close to. Their second name is their personal name, used by family members and close relationships. Their final name is almost a label - it may change throughout a Yeosa’s life, reflecting their goals or their job, mainly used in professional relationships and contexts.

Yeosa names involve heavy consonant usage often broken up by the vowels A, E, O, or U. They typically feature K, L, G, and R, though S and Z are not unheard of.

An example of Yeosa naming would be Oelugu Gekol Alakar. Gekol, from clan Oelugu, who strives to become a skilled cook (with “Alakar” being a word for a chef).
===Religion===
Yeosa’Unathi religion often manifests itself in ancestor worship and praising nature spirits who had forged the world. While Sinta’Unathi faiths have spread into Yeosa regions, their focus on the land has made them struggle to connect to the people.

Many Yeosa’Unathi clans, instead, engage in ancestor worship alongside worshiping massive beasts from the oceans depths who they had failed to kill. Such creatures are often seen as the avatars of nature spirits themselves, with all but the most aggressive being off-limits to whatever hunters could even pierce their thick flesh.
===Government===
Yeosa’Unathi clans may frequently work together to protect themselves from the fauna and their land-based neighbors, but their cities are still very much divided, ruled by their respective leading clans.

The Yeosa'Unathi only have one major Krukzuz, which rules over almost all of their clans. This government holds one city on the shore, and a massive tower in the middle of the Moghesan sea that reaches the bottom, but doesn't go particularly high above the surface of the water. Despite being only one building, the Sanctuary structure contains multiple cities due to the sheer area of its floors.

Clans will typically punish their worst criminals by sending them to the deepest depths of the ocean as tribute to the beasts they worship, though the practice of honor cutting is not unheard of as well.
===Holidays===
There are few universal Unathi holidays - they generally only celebrate birthdays and new years, with both of these being grand celebrations which individuals may take time
off of work to celebrate with friends and family. Beyond that, however, holidays vary widely between city to city, clan to clan.
====Birthdays====
On birthdays, it is traditional to give gifts to the guest of honor, singing praises and discussing their previous victories. A birthday is a celebration of one's continued
survival for an additional year, and a celebration of their accomplishments. Gifts, as a result, are to be related to the individual's successes in the past year.
It is not frowned upon to not give a gift to somebody one has not known for a year, and while it may be considered polite by some, it is otherwise recognized as a meaningless
gesture from one who doesn't know what they are even celebrating.
====New Years====
New Years is similar in spirit to the "christmas" tradition in many human cultures. Gifts are frequently exchanged on New Years Eve before a feast, largely consisting of largely
egg-based dishes. During New Years, it is considered rude to have leftovers on one's plate or to not have at least one full glass of the served drink. Furthermore, conversation
is expected over the meal, with a silent meal being considered a bad omen. After the meal, it is common for families to play games together before retiring for the night.
It is not uncommon for the adults to be up extremely late, seeing their children both go to bed and wake up in the morning before retiring. New Years is a vibrant, loud, and
joyous celebration of life, and being invited to a family's New Years party is considered quite the compliment.
===General Honor===
Honor codes are often tied to an unathi's gender, though some things apply across the board.

Those who have sufficiently shamed their clan are often exiled into the wastes, their family name stripped and replaced with Guwan. The Guwanji may only have their honor restored by dying in an honorable duel - to throw a fight is believed to damn one to wander the sands even in the afterlife.

One who has sufficiently dishonored their clan or rejected exile may be forced to engage in a ritual form of suicide called godr-slk, translated to Galactic Common as “Honor Cutting.” During this ritual, one kneels before a crowd while an announcer states the reasons for the ritual to the audience. The one to die proceeds to confess to each charge, without defense, before slicing their stomach open with a blade. The announcer proceeds to lead the crowd in prayer over the dying individual while they bleed out.
===Entertainment===
Sports are particularly popular among Yeosa’Unathi, the most popular - Spineball - involving using one’s tail to strike a ball into a goal. Human spectators have compared it to a combination of soccer and hockey. Originally a Sinta sport, the Yeosa have grown particularly fond of it. Yeosan Spineball comes with an additional catch - a lightweight ball that will float upwards being struck into goals on the bottom of the arena.

This catch comes from another traditional Yeosan sport, Bubbleball, which is played in a similar manner - however, it heavily utilizes using one’s hands and feet to control the ball. To use one’s tail in Bubbleball is, in fact, considered cheating.

Besides Bubbleball and Spineball, other popular Yeosa’Unathi sports include Aqualthon and Spearfishing.

Moghes films have a sort of mythological feeling to their stories, often featuring heroes and gods conquering various challenges and battles. Human mythology would fit in well among the vast collection of Yeosa’Unathi films. Gods from clans outside of the ones that produce the film are presented in a similar light to mortals, and it is not unusual to find a film being highly sacreligious in one clan also being highly beloved by another because of the same reasons.

Gods from clans outside of the ones that produce the film are presented in a similar light to mortals, and it is not unusual to find a film being highly sacreligious in one clan also being highly beloved by another because of the same reasons.

Most Yeosa’Unathi spend almost all of their lives in the water, only stepping onto the land for the sake of sunbathing. As a result, they may come off as lazy or lethargic to outsiders. Yeosa in space will often find themselves hoarding the heaters. They may very well be the most excited to visit the beach on any given crew.

Most Yeosa’Unathi are plantigrade, though with the rise of genemodding, many Yeosa spacers have opted to become digitigrade in hopes of increasing their mobility and giving them a needed advantage on land. Many Yeosa who undergo these modifications will find themselves living more land-based lifestyles than normal.

Unathi faces may resemble a number of reptiles, from lizards to gators to dragons. That said, they will always have one row of sharp teeth and a forked tongue with tips that are capable of picking up scents in the air around them.

Yeosa’Unathi also have a weakened sixth sense, only notable when underwater. Thanks to ampullary receptors located on their face and hands, they are capable of picking up bioelectric signals produced by living organisms underwater. Losing scales that cover these sensors can potentially leave these senses to become stronger and potentially painful for the individual, eventually leading to the numbing or even loss of use for said sensors over an extended period of time.

Yeosa’Unathi and Sinta’Unathi are closely related enough to produce offspring. These hybrids, often called Sinosa'Unathi, are effectively just shorter, lighter weight, and sterile Sinta'Unathi with forward-facing teeth. Sinosa'unathi are extremely rare, with only about 25% ever hatching, and their average lifespan cut significantly shorter by their numerous health issues. Their sterility and odd number of chromosomes cause Sinosa'unathi to not be considered an actual species.
==Environment==
Yeosa’Unathi hail from a fairly specific part of Moghes, the depths of the planet’s sole ocean or the islands that peak through its surface. They are almost nonexistent away from the ocean or the swamps of Moghes, though Yeosa-Sinta hybrids aren’t unheard of in swamp clans.

==Culture==
Yeosa’Unathi place high regard to honor and pride, respecting those who bring glory to their families and fight with honor.
===Gender===
The Yeosa’Unathi have 4 gender roles in their society.

Warriors are seen as exclusively male by traditional standards, and are expected to live and die to protect their clan. Warriors are often tasked with handling security and obtaining resources whether through warfare or hunting. Farming is also not frowned upon for those who have been assigned warriorhood by their clans, as it protects their clan from starvation, as well as medical professions - to protect from the spread of disease.

Guides are expected to bear and raise the young. Many yeosa guides become scholars and teachers, while others take on more civil duties such as cooking or cleaning - however, they are largely relied on to help maintain Yeosa society. The guide is often a female role, but not always.

Artisans are expected to create for their clan. They are expected to become engineers, scientists, artists, historians, repairmen, and so on. Their job is to help maintain Yeosa society, and are to be protected alongside the guides. While artisans are typically male, it is not unheard of for there to be female artisans in a thriving clan.

Wardens are a role entirely unheard of on land - every few clutches may hold one member who hatches - and continues to grow - abnormally large. These Yeosa, deemed wardens, are believed to be chosen by the spirits to lead and protect their people. Wardens will often end up as priests, militia leaders, and even clan elders - regardless of physical sex. Despite their prestigious roles in Yeosa society, Wardens are expected to fulfill their assigned duties and transitioning to other roles is often frowned upon by the more traditional.
===Names===
Yeosa’Unathi use three names. Their first name is their family name, used by strangers and those they are not particularly close to. Their second name is their personal name, used by family members and close relationships. Their final name is almost a label - it may change throughout a Yeosa’s life, reflecting their goals or their job, mainly used in professional relationships and contexts.

Yeosa names involve heavy consonant usage often broken up by the vowels A, E, O, or U. They typically feature K, L, G, and R, though S and Z are not unheard of.

An example of Yeosa naming would be Oelugu Gekol Alakar. Gekol, from clan Oelugu, who strives to become a skilled cook (with “Alakar” being a word for a chef).
===Religion===
Yeosa’Unathi religion often manifests itself in ancestor worship and praising nature spirits who had forged the world. While Sinta’Unathi faiths have spread into Yeosa regions, their focus on the land has made them struggle to connect to the people.

Many Yeosa’Unathi clans, instead, engage in ancestor worship alongside worshiping massive beasts from the oceans depths who they had failed to kill. Such creatures are often seen as the avatars of nature spirits themselves, with all but the most aggressive being off-limits to whatever hunters could even pierce their thick flesh.
===Government===
Yeosa’Unathi clans may frequently work together to protect themselves from the fauna and their land-based neighbors, but their cities are still very much divided, ruled by their respective leading clans.

The Yeosa'Unathi only have one major Krukzuz, which rules over almost all of their clans. This government holds one city on the shore, and a massive tower in the middle of the Moghesan sea that reaches the bottom, but doesn't go particularly high above the surface of the water. Despite being only one building, the Sanctuary structure contains multiple cities due to the sheer area of its floors.

Clans will typically punish their worst criminals by sending them to the deepest depths of the ocean as tribute to the beasts they worship, though the practice of honor cutting is not unheard of as well.
===Holidays===
There are few universal Unathi holidays - they generally only celebrate birthdays and new years, with both of these being grand celebrations which individuals may take time
off of work to celebrate with friends and family. Beyond that, however, holidays vary widely between city to city, clan to clan.
====Birthdays====
On birthdays, it is traditional to give gifts to the guest of honor, singing praises and discussing their previous victories. A birthday is a celebration of one's continued
survival for an additional year, and a celebration of their accomplishments. Gifts, as a result, are to be related to the individual's successes in the past year.
It is not frowned upon to not give a gift to somebody one has not known for a year, and while it may be considered polite by some, it is otherwise recognized as a meaningless
gesture from one who doesn't know what they are even celebrating.
====New Years====
New Years is similar in spirit to the "christmas" tradition in many human cultures. Gifts are frequently exchanged on New Years Eve before a feast, largely consisting of largely
egg-based dishes. During New Years, it is considered rude to have leftovers on one's plate or to not have at least one full glass of the served drink. Furthermore, conversation
is expected over the meal, with a silent meal being considered a bad omen. After the meal, it is common for families to play games together before retiring for the night.
It is not uncommon for the adults to be up extremely late, seeing their children both go to bed and wake up in the morning before retiring. New Years is a vibrant, loud, and
joyous celebration of life, and being invited to a family's New Years party is considered quite the compliment.
===Honor===
Nearly all clans have their own codes of honor, especially for their militias. Many clans’ codes are similar, and may generally look like this:
Justice is to make one's own actions right. To leave others wronged not only makes you look bad, but also stains the reputations of your family and potentially even your clan.
Courage is to stand up for what one believes in and take the right action, regardless of consequences.
Mercy is to accept surrender, and protect the innocent. The world has no use for barbarians and savages, and those shown mercy often return with kindness of their own.
Honesty is unconditional - the truth will always show its face, and it is an insult to others to conceal it from them. Information is not to be concealed from the clan.
Loyalty is to live and die by your family first, your clan second, and yourself last. The world stands against your clan, and if they fall, so will you.

Those who have sufficiently shamed their clan are often exiled into the wastes, their family name stripped and replaced with Guwan. The Guwanji may only have their honor restored by dying in an honorable duel - to throw a fight is believed to damn one to wander the sands even in the afterlife.

One who has sufficiently dishonored their clan or rejected exile may be forced to engage in a ritual form of suicide called godr-slk, translated to Galactic Common as “Honor Cutting.” During this ritual, one kneels before a crowd while an announcer states the reasons for the ritual to the audience. The one to die proceeds to confess to each charge, without defense, before slicing their stomach open with a blade. The announcer proceeds to lead the crowd in prayer over the dying individual while they bleed out.
===Entertainment===
Sports are particularly popular among Yeosa’Unathi, the most popular - Spineball - involving using one’s tail to strike a ball into a goal. Human spectators have compared it to a combination of soccer and hockey. Originally a Sinta sport, the Yeosa have grown particularly fond of it. Yeosan Spineball comes with an additional catch - a lightweight ball that will float upwards being struck into goals on the bottom of the arena.

This catch comes from another traditional Yeosan sport, Bubbleball, which is played in a similar manner - however, it heavily utilizes using one’s hands and feet to control the ball. To use one’s tail in Bubbleball is, in fact, considered cheating.

Besides Bubbleball and Spineball, other popular Yeosa’Unathi sports include Aqualthon and Spearfishing.

Moghes films have a sort of mythological feeling to their stories, often featuring heroes and gods conquering various challenges and battles. Human mythology would fit in well among the vast collection of Yeosa’Unathi films. Gods from clans outside of the ones that produce the film are presented in a similar light to mortals, and it is not unusual to find a film being highly sacreligious in one clan also being highly beloved by another because of the same reasons.

The Yeosa'Unathi are a proud race of reptiles from the planet Moghes who deeply value honor and family. Even in the space age, their society struggles with restrictive gender roles and tradition. Unlike their cousins, the Sinta'Unathi, the Yeosa'Unathi largely live underwater. As such, much of their lives is a total mystery to anyone outside...

==Game Mechanics==
NOTE: This section mentions planned mechanics that may not be fully implemented yet.

Yeosa’Unathi are extremely temperature sensitive! They hate the cold and have some heat resistance, but prefer to keep it balanced. They are also particularly sensitive to electrical shocks due to their ampullory receptors. However, they are excellent at holding their breath, and have some resistance to suffocation damage. Yeosa’Unathi are also capable of leaping, just like their Sinta cousins.
==Physiology==
Yeosa'Unathi are bipedal reptiles around 5-6 feet tall and 130-180lbs heavy. The Yeosa’Unathi have even more limited regenerative ability than the Sinta’Unathi, with many having a condition called lo’gklem, which prevents the full regeneration of limbs through natural means.

The cold-bloodedness of Yeosa’Unathi prevents them from surviving in the coldest of climates, generating and maintaining less heat than their land-based cousins.

Yeosa bodies handle food identically to their Sinta brethren, though their immune systems allow them to better resist the toxins found in some species of fish due to the heavy presence of it in their diet.

Most Yeosa’Unathi spend almost all of their lives in the water, only stepping onto the land for the sake of sunbathing. As a result, they may come off as lazy or lethargic to outsiders. Yeosa in space will often find themselves hoarding the heaters. They may very well be the most excited to visit the beach on any given crew.

Most Yeosa’Unathi are plantigrade, though with the rise of genemodding, many Yeosa spacers have opted to become digitigrade in hopes of increasing their mobility and giving them a needed advantage on land. Many Yeosa who undergo these modifications will find themselves living more land-based lifestyles than normal.

Unathi faces may resemble a number of reptiles, from lizards to gators to dragons. That said, they will always have one row of sharp teeth and a forked tongue with tips that are capable of picking up scents in the air around them.
