Zarian Realm
The ostensible polity of the Zaris branch of Humaniti, a minor oddity of Zairae Subsector in Glimmerdrift Reaches Sector.
The Zaris were in this region when the scouts of the First Imperium entered the area in -3500, spread to several systems by sub-light generation ships. Boosted from Tech level 8 to level 12 in the first two centuries of contact, little further increase has taken place in the intervening millenia. The Zaris appear to be similar in physical appearance to some races of Humaniti, but the few examinations permitted show profound biochemical differences. Hybridization with Humaniti is not possible, leading to intense and continued scholarly speculation as to the origin of this species. They are very defensive minded and resent outside aggression with a coordinated thoroughness that discourages attackers.
The Zaris have only colonized three planets in recorded history. They have had a technological increase of only two levels during the entire time of Human contact. No degeneration has ever been recorded. The unusual stability is still a matter for violent argument in Imperial scientific circles. It is, some note, intriguingly reminiscent of many Droyne societies.
By arrangement with Imperium officials, trade is generally restricted to only a few licensed companies. Few articles are traded, but some unique luxury items are worth the trip. The Imperium officially discourages unlicensed contact with the Zarian Realm.
