Astran

Astrans were the dominant intelligent species of the planet Astra.

Biology
Astrans appeared as large egg-shaped translucent blobs, who got about on discs. Their skin was blue and they had no recognisable facial features, although they had the ability to speak. (COMIC: Space Border Battle)

History
By 2065, the Astrans had formed an Astran Empire which had initiated tense but generally peaceful diplomatic relations with the humans of the Solar System, whom they called "Solarians". However, early on 1 May 2065, an Astran space fleet patrolling the border between the two superpowers exchanged fire with the human Tenth Space Fleet over a misunderstanding, sparking a Space War.
