Amongst the wide galaxy of stars not every star system is created equal. Some are home to gargantuan gas giants, and some are filled with icy rocks barren and desolate. But some lucky few star systems shelter the exact right conditions for life. Rocky, waterfilled planets with just the right amount of water, gravity, heat, and resources.

Unfortunately, those star systems are nigh impossible to find. And so, the colonists from Earth had to make do with what they could find.

The Artorias system is not a system anyone would consider a prime candidate for a colony. And yet the Feli persevered. They scratched out a living on a small planetoid with 1/3rd Earth gravity and very few natural resources. As such they spend most of their lives on the various ships and space stations essential to maintaining a delicate resource cycle.

Forced to evolve into a people capable of handling the rigors of zero-g, the Feli developed traits once shared with animals of Earth, allowing them to flourish in the harsh environment they made a home of.

Now, years later, the Feli are sought after pilots. They’re the best of the best and any ship counts itself lucky to have one on board. Some of the more superstitious among the spacefaring peoples even regard Feli as good luck charms.

Or perhaps it’s simply their excellent skill that leads to so many successful missions?
