Pretarians and the Keome are aliens who have a common ancestor, but they’ve both developed on their own worlds. The Pretarians are bi-pedal, have leathery orange skin (sun exposure) with kidney-shaped yellow eyes, and are seven to nine feet tall. They wear platform boots as well, making them even taller. They have a penchant for wearing a lot of clacking beads. Rivka tipped her head slightly in the way of a Pretarian greeting. Each in turn did the same, nodding their heads by swinging their necks, their beads clicking and clacking. The sounds were unique to each individual. At the mention of the Keome, the Pretarian delegation hissed and stamped their feet. They shuffle their feet when they are anxious or uneasy. Come from a hot, sandy, desert planet, so skills are in building lasting buildings under those conditions. Would provide specialized labor for any planet with similar conditions. Most of their structures were below groundlevel. Used to temperatures eighty degrees more than humans. (Almost froze when visited Rivka's corvette.)
Pretarian delegation: Rhonali, Tinashi, Ngobo, and Sinraloo. Maseer is the Leader of the delegation. Maseer wanted to talk with Rivka about bringing more water to their planet. Call the system the Pretarian system.
Pretarian foods are toxic to humans. Your nanos will help if you ingest it, but it’ll put you into a world of hurt. Love Turbin Pie (Make from insects) Water is sacred on the planet, almost too valuable to be used for anything but barest necessities.
Author's notes: Wear their hair long with small-diameter braids on each side of their face (one per side). Anyone seen with shorn hair is outcast or has been judged a criminal.
