The Vesk resembled humanoid lizards and control a wide interplanetary empire called the Veskarium. The culture is strongly hierarchical and social status is considered to be incredibly important. Many young Vesk with no prospects choose to throw themselves into the Empire’s ever-hungry war machine in the hopes of advancement.
Though they resemble lizards, Vesk names do not make as strong use of classical sibilant letters such as S as so many other lizard-like species, though long sounds like Z and N, and M are prominent in the naming conventions.

Sazi
Sazi likes the little delivery route he has, running small items and ambassadorial parcels between the far-flung outposts of the Empire. It’s calm, except for the pirates, and he doesn’t have to play politics much, except for getting the docking berths he wants. As long as the war stays on the other side of the Empire, he’s quite happy.
