Esseray

Historically the Esseray and colonists of Tinath have held an uneasy truce. In recent decades the colonists have begun advancing north, pushing out the Esseray for farmland and mineral resources in the area. In response, the Esseray have become more hostile.

Territory

• The Esseray have a city on the continent of Sositenya (northern hemisphere).
• Their city has a starport.
• They have secondary facilities all over the continent of Sositenya which seem to be involved in resource extraction.
• No one knows how long they've been there.

Behavior and Social Structure

• They appear to be humanoid and use both robots and trained animals to complete tasks.
• They ignore attempts to communicate and shoot down any vessels the cross their border or approach their facilities.
• They seem to have Tech Level 12 equipment.
• A few times in the past they have contacted the colonists to organize trades for resources. There was no additional communication or negotiation beyond the original trade missive.

Forms

The Crew have discovered several forms of Esseray. All are hairless and fleshy, with electric augments, and seem to lack eyes.

• Troxbolg - Bipedal brutes
• Daigei - Flying pterodactyl-like scouts
• Forfak - Quadrupedal centaur-like (but more crab-like) engineers and overseers
• Triwark - Tripeds, very tall, but fast and quiet, who are used as hunters

Basic Information

Anatomy

Conflicting reports describe the Esseray as bi-pedal and quadrupedal. Further investigation into 1st-hand accounts reveal both are true. Some Esseray walk on 2 legs, and others appear more like centaurs, having 4 crab-like legs and a torso with arms and a head.
