Gassies

A race of strange hydrogen-based organisms from a non-traversable nebula in the centre of The Milky Way. Nicknamed "Gassies" for their gaseous shape (many Jovians find this term pejorative), Dr. Geovni of New Terra has been quoted saying "[the Jovians] resemble molluscs without their shells, most similar to the nautilus from Earth" on the nature of their physiology. Their planet, Jove, was named for the planet Jupiter in the Sol system, after their remarkably similar appearance to Jovians from a beloved vintage science fiction novel.

Biology
Due to their unique physiology, Jovians are unable to speak any humanoid language. Communication can only happen through written text (if the Jovian learns how to read Tradespeak) or through machine translation of Jovian.

Jovians breathe pure H2 instead of O2, meaning they can breathe in open space. However, they still require an EV suit to survive the intense cold.

Culture
Not much is known about Jovian society, due to their intensely poisonous environment. What we do know is that they follow a religion based around the ruins of an ancient alien civilisation they call "The Cultivators". It is believed that these Cultivators went extinct millennia before the Jovians evolved, so they never had direct contact with one another, unlike the First Contact of humankind and the Arcturians.
