Zephyri

Low-gravity gliding xenosapient species from the orbital cloud-habitats of Zephys.

Zephyri evolved in the floating cloud-habitats of Zephys, a low-gravity world with a dense atmosphere in the Confederation core. Their elongated limbs and stretchable patagia (membrane wings) allow them to glide between the drifting cities of their homeworld. Zephyri are slender and physically fragile by human standards, built for grace rather than endurance. Their culture values artistry, aerial dance, and precision craftsmanship. They serve the Confederation as pilots, Couriers, and diplomats. Zephyri find planetary surfaces oppressively heavy and prefer orbital Stations or low-G worlds.
