Who wants to take Banu?

So the Banu were the first alien species that humans encountered, when one Banu was trying to basically run from the law in Banu systems and discovered a jump in the Davien system. Just through that first encounter it set the stage where the Banu are extremely friendly and first and foremost interested in trade and building connections with other species. So we've known them the longest, we've never had any conflicts with them. They're also a species, they live shorter lifespans, we're thinking, I think, 30 to 40 years, something like that, in comparison. And their concept of time is interesting, where they count up. So when they start to work, they have a clock on their wall that says, I'm working to these many beats, which is also how they tell time, through beats. Essentially, but yeah, they're great. They also don't have a written history that they keep around. They don't sit down and write things to have forever. They just know if something works, that's the thing that works. So it's like if a brand new quantum drive is designed and it works better than the previous one, they stop caring about the one that came before, because this one is better, so why do we even need that anymore? So their sense of history is different than ours, in that in some ways humanity probably has kept and recorded more Banu history than the Banu have right now, because as long as we've known them, we've kept track of certain things. But for them, they don't care. It's all about living in the moment and what works good for now. Also very, very loud and big fans of Sataball. So if you go to Sataball games, they are there, and they love just to cheer in general. They're very enthusiastic.

I think it's just sports in general. Again, they don't have team identification. They just enjoy the celebration of the game. So they're like, yay, you're doing great, at both sides, which we've always joked would be amazing to see ultimately, but would just be probably really aggravating for most of the other spectators there.
