Gastars: info (Patreon)

Sorry guys, it's been quite a stressful week, yet I'm back, and I brought you some information about Gastars (plural) - another alien race within the Arnainskiy Cross galaxy.

Foremost I want to say that Gastars have their own Union - Sarakh. The population of the Union consists exclusively of Gastars of different races (for now I define them by names of their home planets: Vasmara (home planet for them all), Ramuna - second colonized planet (a hot one), and Calax - third colonized planet (a cold one); see the differences below)

Their Union is the youngest within the galaxy, and the reason why there are only Gastars alone in this union is their semi-closed mentality (they are like perfect communists in some way, a kind ones, yet ones who value their own privacy).

Second reason why their Union is the youngest and have such kind of organization is that that before creating their "own spot" Gastars were part of Armanarat Union, but they had there only the lowest rights that you may ever imagine, but because of their own kindness they continued to work for Grotases for quite a while, till the last ones didn't drop a bomb on them (Grotases sent thousands of Gastars on their (Grotases') own war, and it was enough for Gastars to leave and ask permission from T'egra's Union to create their own alliance without the yoke of the Grotases).

So back to the home planet. Vasmara is place of origin of all Gastars, and from there they spread across the galaxy and changed in appearance and characteristics. Still most common archetypes are natives of Vasmara, Ramuna and Calax (but there are more of them).

Brief description of the planets:

• Vasmara is the planet with tropical climate and lush vegetation, about 60% of its surface is water
• Ramuna is the driest planet with deserts and canyons all across its surface, the amount of water below its surface is about 9%
• Calax is the harsh planet of snow deserts, furious winds and frozen oceans, about 95% of its surface is pure ice

Also, I would like to add, that Gastars are atheists, yet they have some kind of "Mother of all" in their culture (worshiped mostly by vasmarians, less by calaxyans and in no way by ramunians), who is associated with life and good luck.

Here I have some old sketch of its potential face:

Regarding physiology they have both males and females. Females give birth to live little individuals (one at a time). The child will be covered within the membrane, which he will eventually eat for 1-2 days, and after he will be able to consume any other food. Both males and females have no nipples, nor mammary glands.

You can try to define male from female by its color, but because of current diversity of races it is quite impossible (but pretty possible, if you know origin of exact person, for example: males from Vasmara have greenish-bluish color of skin, and females are pinkish and purple, both can have yellow patterns on their skins (or any other shades for males and females separately, depending on their basic tone of skin)).

Also all Gastars are immune to all known infectious diseases, but there is one thing that they struggle with - inborn ossification of cranium. Without it they probably will be immortals, but because of it they can live only for about 1.6k human years. And about that time bone outgrowths within their heads will slowly kill them. No cure yet was found.

Here is old Gastars with deformed skulls:

And here is bunch of other (really old ones works are included as well) sketches with Gastars:

And here you may see some of their spaceships, stations and living blocks:
