Chelti General Information

Chelti are a somewhat humanoid-shaped space-capable species whose biology resembles that of marsupials, and they seem to fill a similar role in their natural environment. Confusingly possessing short lifespans and rapid gestation cycles indicating their species evolved from a prey animal, their large claws and often aggressive outlook indicate a predatory nature.

On the galactic scale chelti are relatively reckless expansionists, their wide reach belied by their largely thin hold over it. With their home system desperate for resources, and being subtly encouraged behind the scenes, chelti factions have moved rapidly through systems exploiting as many resources as they can; often at the expense of any less-advanced native lifeforms on planets they control.

Historically they have been very warlike in the galactic scene, having had many of their early contacts characterized by aggression towards them, which in turn has affected their society immensely.
