Species Description: The typical void child stands around 6'4''-6'8''. Physically speaking they look similar to humans, save for the fact that unlike humans they have extended hocks, sharp bone spurs that rise out of the back of the hock, smaller/duller ones that rise out of the elbow and and about every two along the jaw line (The elbow spurs are only a few centimeters shorter than the hock ones, that jet our around an inch, while the jaw ones never rise more than three centimeters. Their eyes also differ from that of a human, as their pupils are thin crescent shape and the rest of the eye is a very pale gold.they also. The atmosphere they breath is very high in nitrogen (the composition is around 90% nitrogen, 8% oxygen, 1% Co2 and 1% other gasses, though like all atmospheres this may very slightly), as such they require breathing masks, or sealed hard armor, when not on a Void Child ship. They can breath normal human atmosphere, but this causes severe discomfort and heavy respiratory irritation. 

Brief History: Any self respecting scholar will tell you that the Void Children are a myth, a fairy tail spacers tell their children to help them sleep in the dark of FTL, but some explorers and spacers will tell you differently, they will tell you tails of huge, formidable fleets of warships of a forgotten race, of massive structures, thought too large to be ships, that stood at the center of these fleets, and how all of this would disappear the moment you jumped away, never to be seen again. 
The truth is that the Void Children are old, very old. Few know how long exactly they have lived among the stars, some say it has been thousands of years, but only the Void Children know exactly how long. They were at one point a terrestrial race, tied to their homeworld and it's solar system. Though they were and advanced race, they tended to shy away from the other empires, whither this was because of some great distance between them or some other influence no-one can say. But because of this, they began to develop and build the City Ships, hollowing out the small, metal rich, moons of a neighboring dead world to provide the necessary materials. Each was built with self sufficiency in mind, dry docks, hydroponics, even limited foundries. They were built to house millions among the stars. They were completed none too soon as a cataclysm ripped through the Void Children's home, destroying it, but the city ships and the remnants of the military and civilian fleets were able to jump away to parts unknown. 
It is now common practice for each city to inhabit a different star system (usually a Protostar system due to the raw material available), and to maintain an aloofness from other Nations, resulting in their mythological status. But they have not spent their time idle, they from near the beginning have built, build cruisers, battleships, light carriers, and even dreadnoughts. This has resulted with them having amassed huge armadas, not only for defense, but for simple living space. This means that the Void Children who inhabit these ships know them like the back of their hand, this coupled with their marine force has made them a very effective armada. But throughout the myth and legends surrounding them there are periods where they seem more active in the galaxy, and as of late it appears that one of those periods is coming about. 

Member of Galactic Conclave: Yes, but tentatively. While the representative may show up to some meetings, they try to take on a more advisership role. 

Notes:
 I didn't know what to do with the free system, so is it alright if it's just the City of Fire, hence the higher value?
