Sindahar

The Sindahar are an alien species that spends all their time hibernating with their minds inside a virtual reality. Robots run everything for them in the physical world. The Sindahar will occasionally take control of their robots “possessing" them especially when they are interacting with other species. They can live indefinitely while in hibernation. They mostly attempt to stay out of the affairs of others.

The Sindahar are extremely powerful but rarely wake up as it risks their immortality. Enemies rue the day they force a Sindahar to awaken for their wrath is extremely destructive.

Locations / Geography
Their planet, Sindah, was once a vibrant jungle world but is now completely covered in cold artificial buildings. A few islands have been left as nature preserves.

Biology
A tall slender species with exceptional eyesight and hearing.

They have few children naturally and it takes nearly a 80 years for a child to reach adulthood. In the current era, children are only conceived by the approval of the ruling council.

They have the ability to hibernate in times of scarcity. This has been augmented with technology allowing them to hibernate indefinitely.

History
The Sindahar once lived in beautiful artistic societies. Once virtual reality was invented, they began to build perfect paradises for themselves inside them. The entire population began to spend more and more time inside their machines. Eventually most Sindahar chose to abandon the physical world and only live in their virtual realities. Their planet was scrubbed of resources so that the whole population could stay inside forever.

Culture
The Sindahar are a peaceful and artistic species. Creating art is considered to be the greatest good one can accomplish. The Sindahar are obsessed with building the perfect society within their virtual reality.

The ruling council of the Sindahar controls the droids in the physical world. They are the most aggressive of the Sindaharian people because they believe it is their duty to protect their people.

Some Sindahar choose to awaken and live out their lives in the physical world. This is regarded as suicide by Sindarian society and is discouraged.

Technology


A variety of droid models are used by the Sindahar for all purposes. Droids that specifically designed to be used as vessels for the Sindahar are called Incarnates.

Their ships are autonomous and do not usually have life support systems.

The Sindahar are masters of illusion. They spend all their time creating virtual realities and thus are extremely skilled at creating realistic holograms to trick their enemies. It is said for every ten Sindahar droids you see only one is real but this is likely an exaggeration.
