==== Hetochi ====
Humanoid mantises that have by far the longest average lifespan of the species at around 3000 years. They start with a bonus to an attribute of their choice, along with a bonus to armor and they are psychic. Their toughness and long lifespans stem from them being engineered to survive on hostile planets and terraform them over long periods. Their society is a hive-like (even though mantises are solitary insects) caste system with every Hetochi being born into a specific role based on what physical traits they are born with (what traits they have depended on the environment the egg is in). They're so used to telepathic communication that they are only recently learning to speak verbally.

Their psychic powers have some interesting effects on their ships. They can share actions, and enemies can only attack them if they're within three range bands. Their weaponry leaves a lot to be desired, however, even their ships can take a lot more actions than others.
