Peacekeepers of the Vast/Vesper

The Vesper are a species in the Interstellar League. They are politically organized into the Vesper Hierarchy, which is an associate member of the Interstellar League, represented by the Trilinthians as their Voting Member. The Vesper system has at least 4 planets, of which at least one, Vesper IV, is inhabited.

The Vesper are an arthropod species, standing around 1.75 m tall with six limbs; four of them function as "legs" while two function as "arms". Their ships lack ladders, and instead feature a sort of fire-pole system for moving between compartments. They also require a higher oxygen concentration than the average Human. Their communication is developed from less-evolved arthropod methods, and includes vocalizations combined with pheromone sensation. Non-Vesper species often have a hard time picking up on the full meaning of Vesper communications, unless they are specifically intended for non-Vesper recipients; this leads to occasional cultural misunderstandings.

The Vesper Merchant Navy officially comprises the shipping concerns of the Vesper civilization.
