Appearance

Pithik are usually between 165 cm and 200 cm tall, weighing between 50 kg and 100 kg when fully grown. Their skin has very soft, largely unseen hairs except for on the tops of their heads where it can grow as long as their body if uncut and which many Pithik wear in various fashions and styles including ponytails and plaits. Male Pithiks also grow facial hair however many shave this off.

Culture

Pithik society is hierarchical with a central administrative council on Pithika (their home planet) the president of which rules the entire planet by the authority and agreement of the council's two houses of parliament.

Pithiks are a relaxed species, enjoying many sports and games and giving what time they can to art, entertainment and music too. Their scientific advancements made them key in the first gravitational engineering enterprises and they remain a key part of them now as well.

The Pithik military is strong but largely for show, with the majority of its work spent in civil and scientific protection rather than any form of warfare. The Pithik have many official ships that patrol the Mavros System as well as hundreds of private venture corsairs who captain their own Alpha and Beta Class ships in the system.

Temperament

Pithiks are generally easy going unless situation dictates or requires otherwise. They vary from humorous to sarcastic and are often playful, hyperbolic and rhetorical in their speech.
