3. 1. Alskant

This race of tall, thin humanoids have just recently (in the last 100 years) developed the technology that allows inter-stellar travel. However, in the last 100 years, their friendly nature has allowed them to trade for much of the technology the other races had achieved. They do not focus on combat, but they have been preparing themselves in case it arrives. Their ships tend to be geared more towards commerce than combat, and this matches their enterprising nature. They continue to seek the knowledge of the other races, and to explore to the edges of space. They tend to have relatively good relationships with most of the other races.
