The Aesiran have a reputation of providing shelter for Races of Humanity displaced by war. Usually this involves granting shelter to anyone who reaches their borders. Rumors of their reaction to the fall of Arnami Prime are instructive though. The Arnami received both direct aid and shelter after the Shang succeeded in initiating a new ice age on their homeworld. Aesiran forces guarded their evacuation fleets, their new settlements, provided them shelter inside Aesiran borders, and otherwise did all it took to give the Arnam a fighting chance to survive. Their patrols even began to maintain order in the Arnami Sector, and it is one of the few sectors of space where they maintain bases outside their normal borders to this day.

The Aesiran fought generally on our side during The War. They sent no major fleet assets to Earthspace though, and spent most of The War fighting the Shang and Roderan far closer to their home. Earth has heard little of these distant battles, but some rumors have reached us. The place the Aesiran call the Vigrid Nebula hosted the largest battle we know of. It is a rough patch of space on their far borders, filled with newborn stars, planets, asteroids, and many other stellar phenomena. Some rumors say the Roderan and the Aesiran fought with such titanic weapons that entire stars exploded, but most historians doubt these more spectacular claims. What little we do know is that both powers largely drew back within their borders after that conflict ended.

The Aesiran are generally a larger race of humanity, with the examples we have seen tending to average far heavier and more massive than Earthborn humans. They are not as large as the Roderan, but are well outside the human normal otherwise. They also prefer colder climates outside the general definition of livability by most humans, but can operate in most normal environments. They are culturally carnivorous, and most of their food revolves around fish of some kind or another. Even their warships leave home with living fish in their water bunkers so they can eat fresh food no matter how far they travel. It is with great honor that they to give you fish from their own bunkers. They expect you to eat it and enjoy it.

The Aesiran are a distant race that spends little time in Earthspace. We had minimal diplomatic contact with them before The War began, and even their trading fleets rarely came to our worlds. That contact has increased in the years since Wars End, but they are still far from most of our colonies. Only the Wolfenheim sector has common contact with them, and even that is sporadic. Most Aesiran simply do not travel outside their borders and they like it that way. They have everything they need and everything they want inside their borders. Only some curiosity with the outside worlds keep them trading in trinkets and the like from other civilizations. Were it not for that latent curiosity, few people would see any Aesiran outside their borders.

Kuff Part Deux

I think I may have been overly optimistic when I noted earlier that it felt like my mind was working again. No bones about it, I’m doing better. The kuff is gone and almost everything that goes with it. But my brain still feels cloudy. Like I’m five hours past bedtime and asking for just one more show before I crash. It’s a good show, but I’m having trouble seeing the TV because my body really just wants to sleep some more. I’ve only had one dose of the quils in the last 24 hours though, so that is good. The quicker I can get off them the better. They are good friends for a day or so, but they overstay their welcome pretty quick if you let them. Better to see them out sooner rather than later.
