Hello cadets!
As work continues on the next update, we are happy to reveal to you the last major character that will be introduced into the game for the foreseeable future.
Zara, a member of the Caelorian race of aliens, holds the position of xenobiology instructor at Starwatch Academy. Unlike the other members of the academy who are all humans, Zara's appointment is the result of an interspecies cultural exchange between the Alliance and the Caelorians. This rare opportunity is a testament to the progress being made towards peaceful relations with her race.
While the game will introduce and mention more alien races in the future, we wanted the first one encountered to be somewhat familiar, hence why her physical appearance remains mostly humanoid.
Interacting with Zara is a major opportunity from a lore perspective, as very few people other than diplomats ever had encounters with the Caelorians. However, this opportunity also comes with its own set of challenges as the Caelorians have their own beliefs, customs, and understanding of life.
Are you excited to meet Zara?
Let us know below!
Have fun out there!
