Gegno Scin

"The Gegno believe it to be necessary to overwhelmingly sacrifice whatever must be, in order to imagine a grand future for themselves. Thus, they have separated into two different branches. ...That of the Scin, the more technologically able, believe that only through progression of sciences and discovery will the Gegno prosper."
-Anonymous Quarg, Giaru Gegno: Quarg Contact mission
The Gegno Scin are a subfaction of the Gegno who believe that the future of the Gegno lies in science and technology.
== History ==
Recent Gegno history has been marked by the rise of the warlike Vi and the progressive Scin factions, each of them trying to convince the rest of the Gegno to follow in their footsteps towards the future. Both factions are convinced that their way is the only true path and this has led to conflicts and skirmishes between them.
== Attributes ==
The Gegno Scin are largely composed of the Usuelit, a subspecies of Gegno that are slightly taller than a human, with rough and bone-like skin that has a green and white tint.
== Technology ==
Gegno technology is similar to human technology in many aspects, and inferior in some of them. Compared to the rest of the Gegno, the Scin are more technologically advanced, and they make use of more advanced and versatile ships that use energy weapons; in addition, they have recently developed shield technology, although it is currently only used on their Halite fighters.
Gegno Scin technology is based upon plasma engines and weaponry, as opposed to the ballistic guns that the Vi field on their ships. Unfortunately, Scin plasma technology is generally inferior to human plasma technology, and the weapons do not do heat damage. However, Scin technology is more advanced than Vi technology, and this results in the Scin having some advantages over their enemies. Scin ships tend relay on turrets, have slightly better range and speed than Vi ships, but also have having slightly weaker hulls than Vi ships. Scin Feldspar carriers, with their newly developed fighters, are a prime example of the Scin emphasis on superior technology, speed, and range, over brawling ability.

== Interspecies Relations ==
As the Gegno are such a young species, they have never met another species other than the peaceful Quarg.
* Gegno - Most of the Gegno are neutral in the conflict between the Gegno Scin and the Gegno Vi.
* Gegno Vi - The Gegno Scin are currently warring with the Gegno Vi for the right to steer the future of the Gegno in their preferred directions.
* Quarg - The Quarg observe the development of the Gegno from the completed ringworld of Giaru Gegno, in the Aleit system. The divide between the Vi and the Scin worries them deeply and a prior attempt to interfere in their development made the Gegno cautious of other species.
