| Somewhat naïve by human standards, the t’sa desire for achievement makes them prey for con-artists offering get-rich-quick scams and similar schemes. This has led to the dual t’sa view of humans as kindred spirits who share a desire for exploration and achievement, and liars and cheats who simply stumbled into the discovery of the stardrive. The t’sa have something of a love/hate relationship with humans, although their interaction with the Concord has helped to improve the t’sa opinion of humanity. | Somewhat naïve by human standards, the t’sa desire for achievement makes them prey for con-artists offering get-rich-quick scams and similar schemes.

| - | As part of their status-conscious culture, the t’sa often decorate their bodies with complex tattoos, called [[T sa (Language)|det’sya]], that reflect their individual heritage and achievements, as well as profession and personal tastes. A t’sa with proper det’sya patterns gains a bonus to encounters with other t’sa, and a t’sa can learn a great deal about another just by looking at his or her tattoo patterns. | + | As part of their status-conscious culture, the t’sa often decorate their bodies with complex tattoos, called [[det sya|det’sya]], that reflect their individual heritage and achievements, as well as profession and personal tastes.

| - | Throughout most of their history, the t’sa neglected the development of personal armor. Their own scaly hides protected them from most weapons. Early t’sa warriors wore cured hides, but Taasa was too metal-poor for the production of metallic armor, which would have slowed the swift t’sa fighting style. It wasn’t until the development of projectile weapons capable of easily penetrating their scales that t’sa gave thought to more advanced armor. [[Ptokh k se (Equipment)|Ptokh k’se]] is a weave made of alloy wire and heavy ballistic cloth, worn to protect the torso and limbs. It protects well against most impact weapons. In general, the t’sa do not like wearing heavier armor, as it interferes with their movements and only slows them down. “//The best defense, protection, armor//” the t’sa say, “//is to be anywhere, elsewhere, when the attack gets where you were.//” | + | Throughout most of their history, the t’sa neglected the development of personal armor.
