The Ashtaris

The Ashtaris are a very interesting species, evolving on a hostile jungle world with many different biomes.

Technology: Their technology is based around many diffirent things, for example, their architecture resemble tall, tower like skyscrapers topped with saucer-like domes. Their vehicles resemble animals from their home world, which other races find odly charming about their technological superiority. Oddly enough, their animal-like vehicles are made out of metal, iron, and titanium, not biological material. Weapons used by the Ashtaris military consist of chemical weapons, mainly nerve gases, viruses, and liquids.

Their AI droids resemble the Ashtarisian biology structure, since the droids are actually dead Ashtarian, but brought back through the process of AI. It's normal for this to happen after a full 200 years of existence, since all believe in the Ashtarian culture of Saveri.

When the galactic age of the Ashtaris was just beginning, they traveled to the double star system Cyrus 8A and B, after a signal was recovered from the surface. The Ashtaris met the Avrion, a mighty aquatic empire home to Seith. They discussed technology, differences, similarities, and cultures. They sought eachother out and united their federational republic of the galaxy. The too began to travel to distant worlds, researching the creatures there, and expiermentation.

Vehicles: Land - Geckolii - The Geckolii is a land based machine, resembling Earth's gecko in appearence and movement. The purpose of this robotic animal is used commonly to study animals that are too big to hide, such as a Voltaphant. The size of this machine is roughly that of a small truck, and it's length (tail to head) is 30 feet.

Sea - Manta Ra'ee - The Manta Ra'ee shares some characteristics to Earth's large Manta Ray, a marine animal similar to the Stingray. It's more like an exlporation sub, capable of going to the very bottom of the ocean of Vareine. Tentacles at the very back of the machine serve as the vehciles rutters for moving forward or backward. Flippers at the sides are capable of "propelling" the sub forward for extra ability.

Air - Dragon Flae'a - The Flae'a is a large, insect like vehicle capable of swift mobility. The cockpit at the front looks like two large bug-eyes, serving as a geological map screen for the driver inside. Each segment is capable of posability and movement, and is connected to the 6 legs in the center of the craft. Two large wings move extremely quickly for agile movement.

Ashtarian Goverment: The goverment is similar to the Avrions 3 elders goverment, but officials are elected in different ways. After an elder dies of a full 200 years of age, their mind is placed within a sustainable AI. After the disembodied mind masters the basic ways of handling the AI, they are elected as officals of the republic gov't. Simple as that. The education system is similar to the Avrion in ways, but diffirent in cultural ways.
