Quoop
The Quoop are a bipedal species, who originate in the J'saad star system. Evolving on Bosar, the fifth planet in the system, which they share with the P'Nysh.

Physiology
Though Bosar is a low gravity world, the Quoop are a small species, typically standing at around 1.25 metres tall. They do not typically posess significant strength and are thought to have achieved evolutionary supremacy on their world due to a lack of natural predators.

Typically Quoop will have a range of skin pigmentation, ranging from a turquoise or teal, down to a darker grey, depending on which region of Bosar they had originated from and their age. Their pigment tends to darken as they mature.

Society and Culture
The Quoop are resourceful and creative. Bosar has a significant amount of land dedicated to scultpures formed of rock, silicate or ice. The Quoop do not feel the need to collect such structures in museums, instead favouring public displays of works throughout their towns and cities.

There are no airborne animals native to Bosar, and when the Quoop first invented aircraft, in order to travel greater distances, they learned that the sensation of flying was addictive. Many Quoop own personal aircraft and live on higher ground, relishing any opportunity to go out for a flight. The skies above cities are relatively crowded, but flying through canyons and over mountains is where you will find the happiest pilots.

They favour 1 or 2 person craft, as being a passenger doesn't give them quite the same sense of flying and connection to the experience. Quoop are skillful formation fliers as a result of preferring groups of one-man ships, to get to places. The Merchant Navy does not have any capital ships as a result of this, but is able to field large numbers of small craft should the need ever arise.

Few Quoop venture beyond their own solar system, as they are very family oriented, and are often reported to get home sick even when travelling in their own system.

Quoop has a significant number of independent cargo couriers and trading vessels, often travelling between Bosar and Runeil, conducting trade. Due to their distaste for larger ships, they are rarely found in larger cargo ventures, but this affords them a symbiosis with the P'Nysh, who take care of larger cargo haulage missions. Sometimes these missions can find Quoop ships working as escorts for the larger cargo vessels.

A small number of Quoop venture beyond their home system and find work as pilots, though this is usually for smaller independent outfits.

Technology
The Quoop have developed technology allowing interplanetary flight, however do not travel beyond their own solar system in their own ships.
