Game Component Showcase
Here are the Avians (STS version). The Avians are an easy star people to play for beginners, since their special ability is to start at level 2 in two technology fields (so no need to remember anything during the game).
The Avians have been roaming the Galaxy for a very, very long time. They claim their civilization is billions of years old. If this is true, then they probably met and know who the mysterious “ancient builder race” is. This race supposedly is responsible for the ancient technological relics of great power left behind in the galactic center.
