''Ethereals are an organic humanoid race from the planet Asma in the Glowima system, with unique blood of liquid electricity giving them luminescent properties. Ethereals have only recently been encountered by the Commonwealth in 2523, and have been one of the most accepted races, though they are still discriminated against. Ethereals are known to be a generally positive, curious, outgoing species, with their naming convention being a celestial body then two capital letters, reflecting their desire to explore the stars.''

===Asma===
===Asma===
Ethereals come from the planet Asma in the Glowima system. The Glowima star is a red-brown dwarf star, which meant the light levels on the planet of Asma were far lower than most habitable planets. Along with this, the planet Asma is known for its massive underground cave systems, and underground cities. Currently, the planet is undergoing a massive ice age, and most ethereals live in these underground cities to avoid the cold. The technology level has recently advanced massively, and major spaceport cities have been created above the underground cities. This has led to massive multi-layered cities full of ethereals. Additionally, all water on the planet is slightly electrical in nature. With ethereals being able to absorb nutrients from this electricity as a means of sustaining themselves.

===Before Commonwealth===
===Before Commonwealth===
The Ethereals used to not live primarily underground, with the surface being much more hospitable. However, in 2409, a massive ice age began on Asma with the world rapidly cooling. This has led to the entire ethereal civilization fleeing to the underground caves their ancestors explored. In 2476 the Ethereal “Union of Cities” formed into one super-government uniting all their old governments underneath the Ethereal Union. This Union functioned as a loose commonwealth of city-states with various governmental systems for these city-states, but most commonly these city-states were democracies. Additionally, due to many of their population being busy with their culture of exploring, war is a very foreign concept for ethereals, with city-states having rarely fought each other. The technology level of these city-states before entering the underground was close to earlier industrial era technology, but their technological growth was slowed by the ice age. Additionally, little is known of their history pre-underground, due to many of the records being destroyed upon the retreat to the underground. However, shortly before an encounter with humanity, the Ethereals had finished the complete mapping of their home planet and had begun experimenting with space exploration technologies. The first encounter between Ethereals and the Commonwealth was from an Ethereal probe within the Glowima system.
