			*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.

	- Asterians have a ~~splynter cell~~ of ~~pirates~~ known as Kalyshi, who are more known in GCPS space as pirates and traders, similar in essence to Forge Father Brokkrs


	== Military ==		== Military ==

	Asterians ~~and Eldar are actually very different militarywise, while eldar focus on ritual warriors and psychic might, with wraithbone constructs as support, Asterians instead~~ use ~~mostly~~ constructs ~~operated remotedly~~ ( you know like an ~~endangered~~ species actually should) with only ~~Kalishy~~ and ~~overseers~~ being seen on the battlefield.		Asterians mostly use remotely operated constructs (you know, like an advanced species actually should) with only Kalyshi and Overseers personally being seen on the battlefield. The Kalyshi use what at a distance appear to be primitive blade weapons and bows, but on closer inspection are made from highly advanced materials that can even cut through Forge Father armour. They've also been known to eschew mechanical transports in favour of riding large beasts into battle. Overseers are essentially Generals, and only hit the ground in person if shit is empire-shaking in importance.

	~~These constructs can be divided into roughly three categories:~~

	~~- Drones: similar to tau drones~~

	~~- Marionettes:~~ The ~~backbone of the army, remote controlled soldiers with~~ a ~~variety of~~ weapons ~~at their disposal. Interestingly~~, ~~one Asterian~~ can ~~control many marionettes at the same time, hence making the asterian default~~ battle ~~experience similar to an actual videogame for said Asterian~~

	- Cyphers: The elite drones, though technically they are more like Asterian avatar, since the connection between cypher and asterian requires a complex ritual and mostly one asterian controls one cypher unlike marionettes. ~~Cyphers~~ are ~~flexible with acces to normal rifles~~, ~~energy gauntlets~~ and ~~even katanas~~.

	~~Also Asterians~~ have ~~weapon platform artillery~~, ~~grav tanks~~ and ~~some weird segway speeders~~.		The constructs can be divided into roughly three categories:
			*Drones: Ranging in size from personal shield and support drones, up to large, heavily armoured hovering tanks, and fast attack craft comparable in size and role to Enforcer dropships.
			*Marionettes: The backbone of the army, remote controlled soldiers with a variety of weapons at their disposal. Interestingly, one Asterian can control many marionettes at the same time, hence making the Asterian default battle experience similar to an actual videogame for said Asterian. See ''Mom'', esports do have a future.
			*Cyphers: The elite drones, where one asterian controls one cypher unlike marionettes. Since the connection between cypher and asterian requires a complex ritual, it results in a more in depth connection with the construct, allowing them to be faster and more reactive than Marionettes. the price though, is that if a Cypher is destroyed on the field, it's possible for the whiplash to destroy the mind of the pilot if safety protocols don't enact fast enough. Cyphers are flexible with acces to normal rifles, energy gauntlets, jet scooters, and even katanas.

	All in all, at the battlefield, an ~~asterian~~ army is ~~more prone to look like a melange of eldar and necron armies than a traditional eldar army~~, and ~~could even be used as a tau army if one so desires~~.		All in all, on the battlefield, an Asterian army is an elite force, trading armour for speed and flexibility.

Regardless, most races don't trust them because of these past encounters.

==Dreadball==
The Asterians have two teams in ''Dreadball'' split between two seasons. The '''Shan-Meeg Starhawks''' were introduced in Season 3. They get access to all four player types, and their base team kit even comes with a defensive coach. Their team rules are split between their player types and include some once per game effects, so bookkeeping is required. Their guards have an ability that allows them to claim they were fouled on the pitch, forcing a check against an opponent's player. This can only be done once per game per player though.

Their jacks and strikers both have a rule called "Fragile" that gives them a single automatic fail on any armor check. This really sucks, but is supposed to be balanced by the second jack ability which lets them claim they were fouled as they pass by an opposing player. This forces a check just like with the guards mentioned above. So basically they're dirty, cheating space elves.

The '''Bremlin Nebulas''' were introduced in Season 5 and are [[Dark Eldar|female space pirate]] Asterians. They only have access to strikers and jacks, which is somewhat limiting. In the fluff they're said to be the most common type of Asterian most Humans encounter, leading to a "distorted" view of Asterian culture, at least according to the Asterians.
