Irassapans

After their planet was destroyed by a solar flare, the Irassapan species move to an orbital station to maintain their survival millenia ago. They have since adapted to the zero g environment.

Home System: Nupatik System

Home Habitat: Space station orbiting Teshub

First Contact: No information available

Appearance

Zero‑g humanoids
Fleshy starfish shape
Radial symmetry
Multiple small eyes

Biology & Physiology

Millennia of zero‑gravity adaptation
Buoyant internal gas bladders
Cannot survive off their stations
Soft cartilage skeleton

Culture

Peaceful, contemplative
Radial, three‑dimensional architecture

Government

Elective democracy. Every space station elects a new leader every decade. Every 25 years, there's a 'grand meet' amongst the space station leaders, where the state of things are discussed, and new laws are made
