AotI Annotated PDF, Dathsuts Chapter, p.130, 134:

Note 174: SRA or Essaray. The secret archives hold reports of vast swaths of star systems whose worlds have been strip-mined for resources for projects such as we see here. There are also entire world surfaces populated by robots such as these.
Note 180: Essaray robot brains cannot survive jump, even protected by a ship’s jump field.

From CotI post: This is the new race introduced in the MgT Starter Edition campaign book.

Galaxiad intro: Season Four encountered the Essaray as the cause of the Barren Worlds, building to a season finale in which the Siblings faced almost certain destruction.
Season Five continues the interaction with the Essaray and ultimately divines their secret.

SRAL: Note that MgT2 has apparently misspelled the name: according to T5, they are the Essaray, not Esseray. And I am not saying this simply to nit-pick, but I believe it is important in order to interpret who they are supposed to be.

S = Self
R = Replicating
A = Artificial (?) / Android (?)
L = (Life) (?)

The Essaray are the "androids" in AotI that were constructing the vessel on Dathsuts/Vland 1703.
I will say that Marc is STILL collating his ideas on the Galaxiad, and getting feedback from his council...
Note the footnote in Dathsuts Chapter in the just published Annotated PDF version of AotI on p. 130:
- SRA or Essaray. The secret archives hold reports of vast swaths of star systems whose worlds have been strip-mined for resources for projects such as we see here. There are also entire world surfaces populated by robots such as these.
