Qutan

The Qutan rules a large empire spanning at least 1,000 light years. They are near-humans. The Qutan are generally peaceful.

Fysiology
Qutan look like baseline humans, except for their light-blue skin. Xenobiologists believe them to be related to humans.

Society and Philosophy
Qutan society is dominated by scientists and philosophers. Upon reaching maturity, a Qutan chooses a Life Path, and pursues that path for the rest of their lives, be it a scientific, philosophical, military or other career. It is possible to change one's path as one grows older, but few does.

All menial tasks are handled by droids. The droids serve as workers, servants, miners and much more besides, to allow the Qutan to follow their paths.

The Qutan philosophy is to "do unto others as you would have others do unto you". As such, they are welcoming to foreigners, as long as the foreigners come in peace. If forced into war, the Qutan conducts themselves with the same fervour they exhibit in all other matters.

Technology
The Qutan are quite advanced, and are one of only a handful of species to employ Gate Drives. They prefer to use plasma weapons, but also have access to neutron weaponry. Their ships are equipped with Particle Shields and Plasma Drives, and are armed with Plasma Cannons, Kinetic Lances and Neutron Guns.

Aside from the obvious military applications, the Qutan also have Translators, tissue rejuvenation technology, and high-end droids, as well as various other gadgets.
