Goliath

Aesir

The mighty goliaths of Asgard are imposing descendants of the first human diaspora. They are tall, tough, and strong, and it is not unheard of for them to develop limited psionic powers.

Biology

Anatomy & Morphology

Aesir are highly similar to true humans, though their bone structure is slightly denser due to their homeworld's marginally higher gravity. This is also the reason for their height and overall build.

Perception & Sensory Capabilities

Some Aesir have mild to moderate psionic abilities, though their biological and evolutionary origins are still nebulous. These include limited telepathy, which operates on a similar basis as hyperwave technology, and the far more potent and rare electrokinesis, the mechanism of which is poorly understood.

Ecology

Geographic Origin & Distribution

The goliath subspecies of human originated on the moderately boreal planet Asgard, in the Yggdrasil star system. They are almost as common as true humans.

Civilization & Culture

Aesir have built one of the most advanced civilizations in known space, with elegant technology so sophisticated it seems almost magical. They are a proud warrior culture, fiercely protecting their homeworld and its sister planets from any outside threats.
