Description:
The Brinn's homeworld of Kateri (Divad) in corridor sector was was a contributing member of the First Imperium but was
subjugated by the Rule of Man and Third Imperiums. After the fall of the Third Imperium, the Brinn exterminated the
humans they found and built civilizations on six of the surrounding worlds. By 1212, the Brinn were on 12 worlds
with their J2 ships.  Initially, the Brinn returned the brutality of humanti but eventually allowed the existance of
several small humanti technical slave cities to remain.  Brinn don't eat humaniti, their poison, but there is a brain
eating, rare tradition.
The Brinn only have a few starships designs. They've taken humaniti technology and used it in their designs but these
vessels are purely built for Brinn crews. This vessel has two refueling/transport shuttles.  Brinn Nest ships travel in
groups, usually a minimum of 6.  The Brinn Nest ship carry nests in "low birth"-like chambers. When the attacked
planet has been nukes, it will land these seed pods and within days have thousands of Brinn on the world. The only
alternation to the Brinn Nest is a non-armed transport. The only other brinn starship is a capital ship.
