The Astrinomitas

**Who Are The Astrinomitas?**

The Astrinomitas aka the Halo Corsairs are space pirates hailing from the Galactic Halo and subsiding in the outer regions of Proxima Centauri. The Astrinomitas are the ones responsible for annihilating the Proxima Miners and decimating and enslaving the Innesian population.

**Why Did The Astrinomitas Leave The Galactic Halo?**

Some space travelers say they were exiled from their homeworld due to their harsh living conditions and sadistic behavior, while others say they conquer natives planet by planet. Whatever the reason is, they have a solid instinct to steal, kill, destroy, and enslave.

**Why Did The Astrinomitas Kill The Proxima Miners?**

There are multiple reasons the Astrinomitas would have exterminated the Miners:
1. They figured the Miners were seeking vengeance on them.
2. They figured the Miners were trying to conquer the Proxima Centauri system.
3. They had a guess that they were extracting valuables from the asteroids.
4. They killed the Miners for sport.
5. They killed the Miners out of territorialism.

**What The Innesians Say**

Though most of these guesses as to why the Astrinomitas attacked the Miners have good justification, the Innesians have said they knew the Miners were extracting valuables from the asteroids. This has also been proven due to the fact that the Astrinomitas interrogated the Innesians next.

**Appearance & Biology**

Since not many travelers and combatants have seen the Astrinomitas up close it is hard to tell whether they're robotic or not. However, there are some sightings of those without a robotic looking appearance so it could just be the suit. Those seen without the robotic coverings have been said to have five eyes, two on each side of one in the center of the head. They also have two slits above their mouth, which could reasonably be considered the nose, though it could be for some other anatomical use. Their mouth has a similar resemblance to that of a terrestrial Arachnid, with a set of 8 horizontal teeth and two fang-like limbs on either bottom of their gums. Their skin is pale white and appears soft in texture, they also have a diamond-shaped head with a small concaving on the top and on the cheeks. Their torso seems to have a spiky protrusion and their back a slouch. They may also have 6 to 7 fingers, and two legs like a Human. The Astrinomitas with the robotic appearance seems to have tubes running from their necks and where the temple would be down to their shoulder blades and ribs. They also seem to have some sort of fin-like protrusions on the back of their heads along with a series of tubes running directly from the back of their heads to the center of their spines. The face also has four lighted circles possibly where the eyes may be, comparing to those without the robotic appearance just excluding the center eye. The stomach area on the other hand appears to have less of a metal appearance and shows their bones covered in what looks like a cloth material. Lastly, the robotic Astrinomitas' head has an opening where the mouth could be and two concaved areas where the cheeks could be as well. These concaved areas may very well suggest the Astrinomitas breather through their mouths and cheeks.
