Hyst

Hysts are insectoid aliens only recently fully integrated in the Coalition. The Hyst race were nomadic drifters for centuries, their home system having been harvested by Volos sometime after the First Volos War. The Hyst fleet was ragged and makeshift, with ships regularly breaking apart and costing many lives. For centuries the Hysts sent countless members of their race to work as Mercenaries and other workers, hoping to accumulate enough money to buy a new colony. The Hysts slowly improved their ship quality with this slowly gathered wealth, until it was finally decided that the Hysts wouldn't live on a planet but instead live in a single fleet. Unlike the Prim, the Hyst fleet weaponry is highly regulated by the Coalition. Although inconvenient, the Hysts are content to drift about the Orion Spiral Arm, trading what they need from world to world, with their primary source of income coming from family members sent out regularly to work as engineers or mercenaries.
