They seem to always seem to benefit from most situations. Their disposition for cooperative hunting means that Selach prefer trade over open conflict. Turning their eyes to the stars, the Selach see unlimited resources to exploit for their own gain. Realizing that 'The Exile' was preparing them to be used as weapons of war, the Selach turned against the Arcturan and murdered him. Although the specifics in the oral traditions of that time are vague, within a generation the Selach began to use mechanical appendages and began a directed industrial revolution. This changed a thousand years ago after the last war when an Arcturan now known only as 'The Exile' fled to Tuun. Their homeworld is completely covered in water, lacking any surface landmasses, and despite being a complex language using species, the Selach never developed the use of complex tools as they lacked appendages for manipulation. This species began as pack hunters that in the end formed a complex and rigid hierarchy leading to a dictatorship ran by 'The Executive' who works with the Corporate Congress. The Selach are an aquatic apex predator with incredibly long lifespans but a low fertility rate. All it cost was two small moons…” Erica Praezelis, Human Negotiator The focus on self-upgrading also touches a little on the Borg, but they may be a few centuries from going down that route as a species.“Trade negotiations went well and freighters with Selach goods will be arriving at Proxima colony within the week.

They have a very strict dictatorship with a strong meritocracy where individuals earn positions in their society. They’re also heavy industrialists and their worlds are choked by pollution. The Orinthon are physically frail and extensively upgraded themselves with cybernetics to the point that little is left of their original bodies. The Orinthon are a combination of Avian and cyborg species in scifi. Heavily industrialized, the Orinthon are hungry for the resources of other worlds. Their cybernetic implants combined with their flight abilities grant them an inherent advantage in space combat since they intuitively understand three dimensional combat. Their culture became so focused that there is no Ornithon in existence without some level of cybernetic enhancements. With the advent of cybernetics the Ornithon culture quickly adapted numerous robotics into implants that could be used to augment their perceived weaknesses. However the Ornithon sought other ways to continue improving their physically weak bodies. They quickly excelled at factory life and production. When the Ornithon began to industrialize they saw it as a way to give them an edge over other species and to continue to defend their pack.

Their species has always been about focusing on how to improve their natural weakness. Physically frail this species survived by evolving a society that focused on pack defense in order to protect themselves from larger predators on their homeworld.
