The gentlefolk of the Castles enslaved several alien life forms before returing from their travels to Old Earth. Suborders were bred selectively for specific purposes and divided into five basic types, including Peasants, birds, and Phanes. Peasants were originally from Spica Ten. They are a small andromorphs, dull-witted, and not particularly muscular. They were used for menial labor chores.
Birds are winged creatures with colorful plumage which are used as transportation by the gentlefolk.
They have an irreverent attitude, which has proved impossible to breed out, and do their work grudgingly, although quickly. Their 50-60 MPH air speed is used mainly when running away, as the Birds are devout cowards. Birds are as untruthful as they are cautious. Phanes were originally from the caverns of Albired Seven's moon. They are docile and playful and have been bred to be uniformly beautiful.
