The Quassin are an intelligent species of humanoid aquatic creatures and a client species of the Ecumene that were supposedly wiped out by the Hive and the Witness.
Overview[edit]
The Quassin were bipedal creatures who originated as bacterial creatures from the planet-spanning ocean of a rogue world that had been flung out of their solar system when the universe was still young, with thin bodies and limbs, webbed hands and feet with three claws each, large eyes, sharp thin teeth and semi-transparent skin that could glow.
Originally, the Quassin were solitary ambush hunters, hiding in the shadow of hydrothermic vents and using their bodily glow to lure in prey. But, in time, they would form a primative civilization that divided different Quassin into groups called Shoals that built their homes around hydrothermal vents and crafted hunting weapons from rock and ice. These Shoals were led by a Shoal-leader, a Quassin of great authority who rarely ventured beyond their settlement as a Quassin shoal would be rendered more vulnerable to predators without one.
Quassin also had a link to the Darkness, allowing them to sense each other's thoughts and emotions. Those with the strongest links were promoted to Hunters, allowing them to coordinate alongside colossal creatures.
After the discovery by and integration into the Ecumene, the Quassin would rapidly become technologically advanced, having built starships and pressure-suits that allowed them to survive beyond their ocean, though many still preferred to live in their ocean.
History[edit]
Joining the Eccumene[edit]
The Quassin would be discovered by Ecumene explorers when their world had drifted close to one of their systems. While the two were initially hostile, the discovery of their mutual link to the Darkness convinced the explorers to bring the Quassin into the Ecumene, which they accepted. The Quassin would be given technology from the Ecumene that allowed them to grow rapidly, while their homeworld would be brought into an oort cloud to keep it from drifting away. The Ecumene would also have bases built on the seafloor of the Quassin's homeworld, as they intended for it to be a bunker world for the Ecumene to survive if they faced a great threat to them.
War with the Hive[edit]
Legacy[edit]
Centuries later, after the Witness had linked with the Veil with the Traveler to get into the Pale Heart to begin the Final Shape, it would use the Traveler's Light to create soldiers known as the Dread. One of them, the Evocators, would be created from a fusion of preserved Quassin flesh and Hive Wizards.
The mind and memories of Tivon would be preserved by the Witness within the Darkness after he had been Taken during a final stand against the Hive and would later be transformed into the Echo of the Amiable after the Witness' destruction.
