Bantrid

Bantrids are a race of unusual creatures that recently awoke from stasis on Hibb, one of Liavara's shepherd moons.

History

Eons ago, the bantrids were a servitor species to the Sivv. Near the end of the war between the sivvs and the Kishalee, the bantrid slaves on Jedarat, a world on the fringe of the Sivv Dominion, revolted against their masters. They managed to sabotage the facility's reactor, killing everyone inside except a group of bantrids working in the Worldseed, who launched the ship into outer space. Since the Worldseed's quantum hyperspace engines were unfinished, the bantrids onboard entered stasis, even though they knew that doing so would erase their memories, in the hope that someone kinder than the sivvs would free them once day. The Worldseed eventually entered Liavara's orbit, and as it started gathering cosmic dust, it became virtually indistinguishable from Liavara's other moons.

Less than 5 years ago, the bantrids' stasis chambers malfunctioned and they emerged from the Worldseed, now called Hibb. Their memories erased, no bantrid was aware of their history hidden deep inside the false moon. Having no idea about the Pact Worlds System's political climate because of the Gap, the bantrids were welcomed into Pact World society.
