XELAYAN

ALL ERAS OF PLAY

A planet of academics, Xelayans are drawn to intellectual pursuits such as science, art, and
philosophy. A high value is placed on scholastic success and knowledge, with one's status
and reputation in the society equated with both their level of education and academic
achievements. Even their culinary arts are highly advanced, with numerous elaborate dishes
and drinks, such as the famous Xelayan blossom whiskey. Because they are so drawn to
mental pursuits rather than physical ones, Xelayans are dismissive of humanity and the
Planetary Union, and are derisive of Xelayans who choose to serve on military vessels,
considering it a sign of low intelligence. Their homeworld is one of surprising majesty,
having been carefully curated and maintained for maximum aesthetic value, and is often
boasted as one of the most beautiful planets in the Planetary Union. The landscape
carefully balances natural habitats, such as forests and hills, with polished opalescent
skyscrapers.
