The Bruhre are a nonhuman Imperial race originating in the Daibei sector. The Bruhre are a massive, hexopedal race who themselves are accustomed to a high atmospheric sulfur content (they find the tainted atmosphere of Loren (Reaver’s Deep 2311) breathable, but rather bland and tasteless). Their body chemistry is such as to permit them to eat the plants and animals of Loren with relish; humans find such food highly poisonous.

The Bruhre are a complex and often unfathomable race, bound to a life of ritual and ceremony. They have complicated laws covering almost every aspect of their lives; it is said that a Bruhre can go for days on end and never say, do, or think a single thing that is not strictly regulated by law and custom. They are also a remarkably intolerant race, and outsiders are expected to comply with their ways totally. For this reason, the Bruhre usually are isolated from the mainstream of other Imperial cultures.
