Natives of the Qualstreit system, the Balorim are one of the galaxy's most formidable powers. Always well-respected by their neighbours, the Balorim were elevated by their successful defense against the Twis'rin in the Galactic War. A combination of technology borne of necessity and respect born of victory made the Balorim the newest heavy player in the galaxy: quite literally, as your average Balorim weighs about three hundred and fifty pounds. Their rivalry with the Twis'rin has not abated since the conclusion of the war, though the warfare between the two is currently more economic than military. Vain, proud, and with long memories, the Balorim have never stopped keeping a wary eye on their neighbours, and the war drums are constantly beating in Balorim space.
