	Evolving on Taasa, a large, warm planet dominated by small lakes, swamps and marshes instead of oceans, and which never evolved mammalian life, the T'sa are small, warm-blooded reptilian humanoids, averaging 1.1 to 1.4 meters in height and 30-50 kilograms in weight. They are a slender, wiry race, with sleek hide covered in small, overlapping scales (ranging from dark brown through greens to red, ochre and golden) that lie over whipcord muscles. Their heads are small and triangular, with a blunt snout, slitted nostrils, and small, slitted eyes. They are omnivores, but distinctly prefer flesh to vegetation; outsiders beware, t'sa cuisine favors lightly cooked or raw meat, often heavily spiced, and many dishes are based on small animals that are consumed alive. Both sexes have elaborate, fin-like crests of ornamental horns, but males tend to have larger horns and brighter skin tones than females. The species possesses long, whiplike tails that are constantly twitching - not the rest of them is ever much stiller.

	T'sa are renowned for being quick-witted, curious, gregarious, technologically orientated, and hyperactive. They are bundles of nervous energy, constantly moving, thinking and acting. Their incredible speed and reflexes makes them a lot more dangerous in a fight than you'd think of such small creatures. They are quick-talking, with a tendency to repeat themselves or use multiple synonyms in the same sentence. They also can't abide mysteries; a t'sa that sees a locked door wants to open it, and being denied their wants just makes them more determined to find out what it is. This can make them great explorers and inventors... and it also gets them into trouble. All the fucking time.

	Other races would find t'sa annoying just for this combination of hyperactivity and curiosity, but their blunt approach to asking personal questions - t'sa culture lacks the modesty mammalian races have - really cements their bad reputation.

	Relationships with humanity are... complicated.

The T'sa were definitely interested in making friends, but were staunch on holding to their independence; ironically, the efforts by different human nations to try and acquire sole rights to the T'sa as an annexed client-state became the tinder that lit the fires between human interstellar powers, resulting in the First Galactic War.
