Most people will be from Phoenicia. It's the sector hegemon, has a billion citizens and is actively establishing colonies and protectorates across the sector. The Phoenician Authority are not exactly white hats, but they aren't monsters either. Of the colonies, Tyre has been a functional agricultural colony for a while, while Sidon is a built-up mining establishment that is just becoming self-sufficient. | Most people will be from Phoenicia.

Before that, Phoenicia has imposed a quarantine on them to prevent them from gaining interstellar drives. Delann has a population of roughly 500 million and has a full psychic academy, the only complete psychic training facility in Wyrm sector. |

To provide more information on the only known aliens: Koilians are basically bat people, but they aren't descended from Earth's bats. Their arms are relatively stubby from shoulder to elbow and from elbow to wrist, but their hand bones are very long and can be opened from one another, stretching a thin membrane between them. The fingers are also long, the pinky being longer than the hand and forearm put together! When extended to slow a fall, to float in water or as an emotive display, Koilian arms look like they have extremely long fingers with an additional joint and a big sheet of thin skin between the fingers and running down to the elbow between the arm and the pinky. When folded, the pinky sits flush to the arm and extending back past it, and they have very long 'palms' and three functioning fingers and an opposable thumb. They're generally four to five feet high, have strong, hollow bones and are fuzzy. | To provide more information on the only known aliens: Koilians are basically bat people, but they aren't descended from Earth's bats.

They generally have a fondness for fish. Mechanically, being Koilian would give you resistance to falling damage (resistance scales inversely to the height fallen from), and easier time managing saves against falling, and the ability to float on your back for quite a while if the water isn't too choppy. You'd also have a form of night vision blinded by noise. |
Example names: Ineep, Skei, Ver Neepik, Squekwik, Wir Neepik, Cheepwirk. Think something high-pitched and chirpy/squeaky. | Example names: Ineep, Skei, Ver Neepik, Squekwik, Wir Neepik, Cheepwirk. Think something high-pitched and chirpy/squeaky. | ||

The characters are in the employ of New Horizons, a powerful and rather famous company helmed by a group of adventure capitalists. They made quite a stir a few years back, fighting rebels and making first contact with the Koilians, and are also rumored to have something to do with Delann's acquisition of spike drive tech. Tremendously popular with the people, but not always on the same page as the Authority, New Horizons decided to follow rebel star charts to a new sector and have founded a colony there. Shenanigans with an alien artifact gave them a complete map of this new sector, but issues in Wyrm have the attention of the leadership, and they've elected to send a new crew out to explore, trade and establish diplomatic contact with the locals. | The characters are in the employ of New Horizons, a powerful and rather famous company helmed by a group of adventure capitalists.
