Flavor:
The Bastian race originates from planet Felis located in the Ibus cluster. Felis is temperate with slow rotation period contributing to long hot days and equally long nights. A matriarchal society the Bastian are tribal. The overarching government, The Pride is populated by the ruling female of each tribe, or a delegate.
Decisions by The Pride traditionally favor prudence and caution which delayed the development of Drift technology for nearly a century. For the adventurous Bastian, leaving Felis means cutting ties with strongly bonded family. Space travel attracts the young, the adventurous, and the outcast. Those Bastian who are spacebound are generally attracted to warmth, wealth, and making a name for themselves.
The majority of Bastian prefer a terrestrial existence and are slow to adapt to changes. Space travel specifically has changed the biology of the race leading to taller, leaner Bastian where their terrestrial cousins are typically shorter and heavier. Terrestrial Bastian live longer lives on average than their space faring counterparts.
