Pearl

"Time has not dimmed the memory of our loss, but it has allowed us to let go of our anger toward those responsible."

- Emperor Haban Limai

The Pearl are a race of humanoids from the destroyed planet Mül. They also seem to have a connection with the Converters. They have a bad history with Humans.

Biology
Pearls are humanoid in appearance, they have split earlobes and their ears have a very curved point, their heads have bumps on the front of their head, their eyes have a blue eyes with a magenta iris and a black pupils, their skin is quite pearlescent (obviously) but their skin does have some waves of colour when something touched it, when they are close to death, their skin turns grey, and when they die, their Life Energy is released in a massive wave which goes across space and time until it finds a suitable host to store it until it can pass, they appear to have very long lifespans as it seems many of them haven't aged a day between the destruction of Mül and their arrival to Alpha.

Culture and society
Pearl society is one which has a deep connection to their homeworld, the Pearls would gather Mül pearls and when they found one with as much power as an entire fleet of star fighters, they would feed it to a Mül Converter which would return many more pearls to their world, they where ruled by a patriarchy with the empress bring the one who finds the energized Mül pearl.
