System Shedar Waste, 1-A. Eclipse hours

Araxis system has a decent variety of planets and the local markets are okay but nothing like the food in Shedar Waste desert. Even with the sometimes deadly temperature, this place is a focus of attention around the sector. It's being slowly abandoned, but good stuff can be found

The locals are not too happy to see them around...

This is a Zerathite. They're a spider-like lithoid race with natural electrokinetic abilities.

They're an anarchistic collective with a massive distrust over authority in general because of a long history of enslavement and revolution. A large part of their mythos makes the claim that the Zerathites actually obtained their souls by killing the gods that had created them.

This myth is almost certainly based on real history though, as long ago, Zerathites actually were a eusocial race that served as drones for their queens. Someday, through means that still aren't quite understood, the Zerathites defied their nature and rebelled against their queens, gaining their individuality in the process.
