Species Summary
Known Summary
The Zaltharians are the makers of the Hegemony. A race that excels in technology and engineering — a mastery they attribute to ancient influences from long-lost interstellar travelers — they are without equal in shipbuilding and the manipulation of raw energy. Where humanity once tended sacred fires and named them holy, the Zaltharians simply learned to command them.
Engineers of Ancient Craft
Zaltharian skill is old skill. Their engineering traditions carry the fingerprints of the ancient visitors, and their work — ships, engines, weapons, and the harnessing of energies other species barely understand — reflects a lineage of makers stretching back into the deep past.
The Forge of the Hegemony
Whatever the Coalition builds, the Zaltharians build it. Their shipyards and their command of energy make them essential to the Hegemony’s technological edge — the hands that turn Elysari strategy and Tyrthian force into fleets and weapons.
Strategic Assessment
For the United Federation of Nations, the Zaltharians are the source of much of the Hegemony’s hard power, and therefore a priority for study. A people defined by craft rather than conquest may also be a people whose loyalty follows opportunity — a lever, in the right hands.
