Ouzhii

Ouzhii, also widely called Ophiuchians, or more rarely Ophiuchusians, are an intelligent technological species (Sophont) that evolved on planet Ouphua, located beyond the Realm of Humanity. Being the first intelligent species humanity ever encountered, they've sporadically downlinked into Human space through the Salvere Passage as hyperspace castaways, the first encounter happening in 2799 over Cybin. Since then the ouzhii population has grown and integrated into human society and culture, so much so that many ouzhii today are unable to speak in their original native languages such as phoa'syu. Instead speaking english or other predominant human languages.
