| 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.

| - | Taasa orbits the star [[places|Ch’Nara (Star)|Ch’Nara]], a G-class main sequence star. Taasa is larger and warmer than Earth, with a thick, damp atmosphere that humans find acrid due to traces of chlorine. Despite Taasa’s larger size, gravity is near Earth-normal because of the smaller amount of metals present in the planet’s crust. Seasonal variations are limited due to the planet’s small axial tilt. The t’sa have long since domesticated the many different animal species on their homeworld. The more dangerous predatory species have been wiped out. The t’sa still use large bipedal lizards known as [[t sa language|zar’each]] as riding animals, since the surface of their world is often swampy and difficult for land vehicles. Most traveling is done via [[vehicles|aircars]] and slow-moving airships. | + | Taasa orbits the star [[places|Ch’Nara]], a G-class main sequence star.

| Taasa’s larger moon, [[n chalak planet|N’Chalak]], was terraformed by the t’sa who settled it millennia ago. It have gone from being a dry world with a thin atmosphere to a lush, miniature version of Taasa, although with more carefully engineered waterways. The greenery and settlements of N’Chalak are visible from the surface of Taasa on clear nights. The planet’s other moon, [[places|N’Shona]] is a lifeless rock the t’sa mine for useful minerals and metals. | Taasa’s larger moon, [[n chalak planet|N’Chalak]], was terraformed by the t’sa who settled it millennia ago.
