The Shasu are a people who's homeland was lost long ago and with it their freedom as a people. Since that time they have been enslaved by many across the stars and are known in two forms as slaves or wandering bands of refugees.

Major parts of Shasu culture is not known to outsiders this do to their secretive nature but also them being slaves and lower classes. Of what is known is a strict society one that seems almost unwilling to change and tends to believe in the more arcane.

Shasu are major parts of both the Nektan and Rin Empire's (In the Rin they are known as Zingaro) and it is said they were maid by the angels to serve as common laborers. They unlike the more notable creations were like step children with not much attention given to their looks or culture.

Shasu on a physical appearance stand slightly shorter then the average terran. They have fine red skin, pointy ears, what looks like two 'spikes' coming out of their chin, and pasty white eyes with yellow pupils. Their backs are normally hunched only slightly and are mockingly called deforma within the Rin empire.

In the Rin Empire they are looked down upon and put at the same level as slaves and other undesirable species (Greenbelters and such) now the Rin can be cruel but even they have a limit. Shashu recieve basic protection from the state although persecution, insults, and slur against Shashu are generally ignored.

In the Nektan Empire they fair better although of lower class they are not openly mocked in the streets nor persecuted. Within the Nektan realms they even have a chance to raise up the ranks. Over the millennia major Shasu (Known as Ptah by the Nektans) settlements have arisen including the worlds of Kibiyat, Suiyat, and Gabyat.

Now I might explain more on their culture later. That's if I plan to flesh them out even more.
