The Abni-S'zaelyn are a humanoid species, genetically similar to (and compatible with) the Skelow, but with a far more authoritarian and martial disposition. Their homeworld of Zehyr was devastated by a Gamma ray weapon in a bitter pointless conflict with the Karabari Priests.
The principal institution of, and income source for, the Abni-S'zaelyn government at Zehyr is the Abni-S'zaelyn Mercenary Guild (AMG), the Skelow Trade Federation's predominate paid security service. In the wake of the devastation of Zehyr, the AMG has moved their base of operation to the compact world Melor.
Unlike most STF species, the Abni-S'zaelyn are famously willing to fight to the death. They believe strongly in honor and valor, and view martial success in either the Abni-S'zaelyn Mercenary Guild or the Zehyr Homeguard as the highest form of virtue.
