Shi'ar

Shi'ar are a humanoid race native to Chandilar descended from birds. They appear identical to Humans except for fathers on their arms and a crest of feathers on top of their heads. They hatch from eggs.

They were, along with humans, one of two races dominant in the old Shi'ar Empire and still are in the current Intergalactic Empire.

Shi'ar religion is based upon the deities Sharra and K'ythri, who supposedly married and whose children and descendants created the Shi'ar race. Sharra and K'ythri are also identified with the universal energy field (the Living Force).
