Gith

Once slaves to the Illithid, now a race divided into two factions. Strange alien-like beings with strong psychic abilities, the Gith stumbled upon Orbis and with a little bit of negotiation, traded the basic design of their astral ships for safe passage and knowledge. Not often you get to see a Gith walking around however, but they do pop up now and then, having left their old lives for new ones in Orbis   
== From Beyond Orbis ==
The Gith were once slaves to the cosmic empire known as the Illithid, or Mind Flayers. The Gith rose up and overthrew them and had the Illithid scatter across the multiverse. But after their freedom was won, two factions of the Gith disagreed. Since their old civilization was destroyed, they bickered and argued about what kind of civilization to forge for themselves next. This quickly grew to hostile and the two groups distanced themselves but always at each other’s throats.
== Githyanki ==
The Githyanki are motivated by revenge and convinced they deserve to take whatever they want from the worlds they travel. Ranging out from the titanic city of Tu’narath on the Astral Plane, they send out raiders to plunder other worlds, bringing treasures and slaves back to their ageless realm. At the same time, they hunt down and kill mind flayers whenever possible, as recompense for what they did to them. 
== Githzerai ==
The Githzerai believe that the path to enlightened civilization lay in seclusion, not conflict. Their dedication to the principles of order is so strong that they can manipulate the stuff of chaos and use it to their benefit, thus they have carved out a stronghold for themselves on the plane of Limbo that is virtually impervious. Though the Githzerai are pacifists by nature, they share the same hatred for the Illithid and will send out small squads to destroy Illithids and their outposts.
