 +The best means of simulating the
 +sesheyan use of aikei is through the Faith perk
 +(
 +Player’s Handbook
 +, page 104). The perk allows a
 +sesheyan hero a greater chance of success when in-
 +voking the appropriate ghost in a situation. Not all
 +sesheyans have this perk, only those with consider-
 +able faith and skill with the old ways (particularly sha-
 +mans). The use of the perk is limited to actions suit-
 +able to primitive sesheyans, not for actions involving
 +modern technology or ideas. A sesheyan might use
 +aikei to improve a use of Melee Weapons-

 +stalker. Edolan has the Faith perk and rolls a Good

 +provement of two degrees of success on her sneak

 +==== What The Sesheyans Think ====
 +
 +
 +Since their first fateful encounter with humans,
 +sesheyans have been exposed to many different races.
 +Although individual views vary, here is what the two main
 +sesheyan factions generally think of the other major races
 +of the STAR*DRIVE setting:
 +
 +Fraal: “The fraal understand the value of
 +technology. They assisted humans in reaching the
 +stars much the same way humans later assisted
 +us.” –
 +Ghost Walker
 +“There is a quiet wisdom to these people,
 +much like the most enlightened of us. Although they
 +are not hunters or warriors, they have a great inner
 +strength.” –
 +Wind Spirit
 +
 +Humans: “Humans were our patrons and
 +guides to the stars. They are a clever and inventive
 +people. We still have much to learn from them.” –
 +Ghost Walker
 +“Humans are as changeable as the wind,
 +and as dangerous as ska. They have equally great
 +capacities for kindness and cruelty.” –
 +Wind Spirit
 +
 +Mechalus: “A capable and industrious race,
 +with an understanding of technology that makes them
 +valuable business partners.” –
 +Ghost Walker
 +“The Mechalus are fine examples of a race
 +that has put aside their need for violence, but they
 +have merged too much with their machines and lost
 +the fire of their spirit.” –
 +Wind Spirit
 +
 +T’sa: “The t’sa foolishly reject all outsiders. If
 +their inventive and industrious nature could only be
 +harnessed, they could become truly productive mem-
 +bers of galactic society.” –
 +Ghost Walker
 +“The t’sa saw the dangers in accepting hu-
 +man aid and kept their independence. The question
 +is, are they willing to aid others in regaining what they
 +have?” –
 +Wind Spirit
 +
 +Weren: “Brutal fighters, useful as mercenar-
 +ies, but they refuse to learn the lessons offered by su-
 +perior cultures.” –
 +Ghost Walker
 +“They have no idea how fortunate they are to
 +have the Orlamu rather than VoidCorp as patrons.
 +May their blood philosophy help them walk the dan-
 +gerous path between independence and slavery.” –
 +Wind Spirit
