Aatevak

The aatevak are an isolated community of researchers, who have set up camp on a small structure on one of the legs of the solar sail arms. While this presumably means they are rarely bothered by other Shroudfolk, it also makes trips into civilisation a significant journey - even with the vehicles they are known to possess.

Composed mostly of ysoki but entirely of cybernetically enhanced individuals, the aatevak are a group of researchers strongly motivated in uncovering the Builders' secrets. They perform many dangerous experiments and seek solitude for this reason. They also extend their food and water supplies by using their cybernetics in conjunction with the energy absorbed by the solar sails -- a highly illegal activity as interfering with any operating builder structures can risk developing another Gash.
