There isn't a lot of information about the Tetrarchs in AD or other source material, so we've each had to fill in the blanks ourselves.<br /><br />One direction that I've taken it is similar to that of the Ancients from Stargate, or the Progenitors/Preservers in Star Trek. They "planted" or "seeded" various species groups on different planets throughout space.<br /><br />So, you could find cultures of the core four (and Zeb species) on multiple planets, at different levels of civilization, and with slight-to-major variations in culture.<br /><br />For example, the spacefaring Vrusk we all know & love are found in the systems of K'aken-Kar, Kisk-Kar and K'tsa-Kar. But in the Epsilon system there is a pre-industrial civilization of Vrusk. Their culture is different. Closer to Sathar space, ruins have been found of yet another Vrusk culture which was much more violent than any Vrusk we know. The ruins indicate that these now-extinct Vrusk had fought off the Sathar for centuries, and eventually lost. That may have accounted for their aggressive nature.<br /><br />When people visit those inevitable uncharted planets in your game, what do they find? More humans? Weird aliens you made up yourself? Earthlike animals? Mysterious ruins?<br /><br />How do you play the Tetrarchs & unexplored planets?
