The Edon, Little is known about this race of semi-aquatic amphibious beings. They are very stoic and aloof which makes interaction with others very difficult. Edon prefer to avoid socializing and social interaction with others whenever possible. This has led to a general distrust of the Edon by others and a reputation for being snobs. It is rumored that they are one of the few races that have been able to successfully repel the Shi'an and posses an equally powerful technologies. Edon normally do not wear clothing and prefer aquatic environments but can live on land for prolonged durations if needed. Edon are slightly smaller than humans and not quite as strong. However they are more dexterous than humans while in water. Edon are not comfortable in hot dry climates and will avoid them whenever possible. The Edon can secrete a viscus liquid barrier over their skin which acts like an environmental suit in more hostile conditions for a limited time. Edon are fiercely isolationist and tend to stick to themselves, they will interact with the other races out of necessity or mutual benefit. Unlike the other races the Edon do not field any large or capital spacecraft. Instead when a larger more powerful presence is needed individual craft will work in cooperation as a collective swarm.

Edon Males have a Green skin coloration and females have a grey skin coloration. The Edon have a natural biochemical ability to produce an electrical charge like that of an electric eel while in combat. The charge has the same same range as an electro stunner's short range and does 1d10 plus stun damage and may be used up-to three times per day before becoming depleted. The edon producing the electrical charge does not have control over the amount of the discharge only over when and on what to deploy the discharge. In summary, the Edon deploying this natural weapon does not have the ability to choose how much electrical current will be used its all or nothing.

Edon prefer not to enter combat if possible and dislike the use of weapons when they do. They are not pacifists but do find most combat situations to be wasteful or unnecessary. Edon prefer to use their natural electrical weapon and any acquired martial arts skills whenever possible. Edon do have the ability to use other weapons but may not be pleased about using them. 
 
Xin get along well with Edon and their natural social awkwardness allows them to look past the Edon's anti-social behavior.

Humans tend to find the Edon stuck up or snobbish with their separatist / isolationist attitudes and lone-wolf attitudes. Its not that the Edon wont work with others its that they choose to avoid it whenever possible.

Ganai get along fine with the Edon and don't particularly care either way how they feel about associating or socializing. If they work hard we don't care if they want to be friendly too.

Edon attitudes toward the other races.

The Edon tolerate humans but think they are far too emotional and impulsive for their own good.

The Edon tolerate the Xin because they tend to socially occupy the humans with their social awkwardness when not working with their own kind.

The Edon like the Ganai the most of the races as the Ganai don't feel that mutual cooperation requires emotional or social attachment. The Edon also have a similar work Ethic to the Ganai and respect each others devotion to accomplishment.
