Editing Asterians (section)

==Background==
The Asterians are the oldest race in the setting, having explored the stars when all the other races were still playing with themselves on their homeworlds. Interestingly enough, every other sentient race has stories of Asterians kidnapping members of their species throughout their histories, seemingly making them the setting's grey aliens, even though they don't look like them either. Regardless, most races don't trust them because of these past encounters.

Most of the current information on them is expressed through GCPS reports, hence making it hard to know much of the Asterian history and activities outside of warfare. What it is known though, is the following:
*Asterians are tri gender (having one female gender, and two male genders, true male and neutral male), this would serve to justify the androgynous look of some Asterians. Also, it explains the way their military is structured in a trinary system.
*Asteria is not an empire, but rather a loose confederation of states, similar to craftworlds, but it is not yet known how much space they actually occupy, though rumours persist of floating hive cities and entire worlds hidden inside or behind artificial spacial anomalies, as Enforcer ships tasked with gathering intel on Asterian movements have often had their few active leads seemingly vanish inside black holes when pursuing craft came too close.
*The Plague was first encountered by the Asterians, in the dawn time of their space faring civilisation (meaning its creation predates even them), and after a long and costly war they succeeded in destroying the active Plague forces, leaving the artifacts it came from quarantined in the lifeless Death Arc. Despite making a rare attempt at communication and warning the GCPS not to go there, humanity behaved like the spoiled toddler it is and did it anyway.
*They believe in balance in life and the universe, and see war as an activity necessary to achieve it, despite otherwise not being inherently warlike.
*Their technology is mainly bio-mechanically based, though whether Asterians are psychics, or simply use a highly advanced form of remote communication is not known.
*Asterians have a splinter society of traditionalists known as Kalyshi, who reject much of the advanced technology (but not all) in favour of a more visceral closeness to nature and the experience of life. They are more known in GCPS space as pirates and traders, similar in essence to Forge Father Brokkrs, though still much more secretive.
