Sarcesian

Sarcesians are tall, light-winged humanoids native to The Diaspora, the asteroid belt of the Pact Worlds System located between the orbits of the spaceship Idari and the planet Eox.

A sarcesian is a long-limbed humanoid standing between 10 to 15 feet in height, with bulbous eyes and long, pointed ears. Adapted for life in space, sarcesians can grow long gossamer-like wings of pure light that act as solar sails, allowing them to fly through a vacuum. Due to their appearance, they are sometimes referred to as "angels".

Habitat

Sarcesians live on small crèche worlds built inside the asteroids of the Diaspora.

History

Stories suggest sarcesians are the descendants of the inhabitants of the two planets that were destroyed in pre-Gap times to form the Diaspora asteroid belt.

Society

Generally peaceful, sarcesians harbor a lasting grudge against Eox, attributing the destruction of their worlds to the ancient feud between the planets. They, like their neighbors, send representatives to the Pact Council to express their views. However, lacking an overarching government, they adhere to a libertarian philosophy, maintaining a protectorate status and emphasizing individual autonomy. Sarcesians speak their own language. Space pirates are known to speak Sarcesian (Language), as are necrovites of Eox.

Some sarcesians use their unique abilities to serve as spies and covert fighters for hire.
