Subterfuge has been a way of life for the Batserai for as long as anyone can remember. Thus, the race has a reputation of being sleazy, sneaky, backstabbing cutthroats. They seem to always prefer personal gain over any sort of helpfulness, unless of course, personal gain is attained through helping. Before the Terran exiled ship, the Prometheus landed on Gamma Arae III in 17 BE, the Batserai and Sondak had warred for centuries. Then, the exiled ZELAN terrorist organization (Later named Aquillans) came, aboard the Prometheus, with Ozzero, and the Batserai quickly sided with the newcomers. The fledgling Aquillan Imperium defeated and enslaved the Sondak as slave laborers, to be used to build the machinations of the empire itself.

Batserai are accomplished spies, assassins and saboteurs.
