The Atarsids are akin to large, sentient arachnids, who dwell to the rimwards of Starmourn. | The Atarsids are akin to large, sentient arachnids, who dwell to the rimwards of Starmourn, scattered on the five lush and resource-rich garden planets of the Shimea system. Despite their grotesque appearance to many humanoids, these hairy creatures have a sophisticated culture, advanced technology, and a corner on the interstellar fabrics market (their race invented/produces most of the [[Fabrisilk]] in the galaxy). | ||
At peace after many centuries of interplanetary war, the Atarsid have formed a complex and fair democratic government (The [[United Atarsid Nations]]) that has lasted for several decades now. Though extremely short lived (about 15-20 standard years), this race tends to produce a higher than average percentage of thinkers and inventors. | |||

Not | Not a huge amount is recorded about the Atarsids, except that their government is known as the United Atarsid Nations and that they suffered greatly as the [[Cleax]] tore through their systems during the [[Third Cleax Invasion]]. They are prominent, however, in that after that invasion, they established the [[Hon-En-Tur Exaltation]] to perfect cloning technology and replace their population via cloning. Now, the Hon-En-Tur Exaltation is the premiere cloning operation in Starmourn. | ||
They are often allied with the [[Y'saari]], and as the two races run cloning and money respectively, together it is often said that between them they hold all of the power in the sector. | |||
