Formal Affiliation: None

The Exquivan are a race of monks that are constantly trying to achieve a zen-like state of nothingness. Their culture and philosophy is a response to the coming of the Eternal Ones. The Eternal Ones feed on all the sentience located in the galaxy, killing all the sentient life in the process. Therefore, the Exquivan seek a regression in thought and culture until there are none of both, returning to utter simplicity and loss of sentience. This is their belief in how to survive the Eternal Ones Feeding. The Exquivan also encourage other races they are in contact with to embrace their goals in the hopes of avoiding the Eternal Ones superiority. Thus, the Exquivan are not willing to give out information to other races because this would cause an increase in the race's level of sentience. The Exquivan are against any type of alliance, for they believe that enemies of an alliance would not be able to study their philosophy and embrace it.

Although the Enigma has no conventional offensive weaponry, it is deceptively powerful, and is one of the most dangerous ships in the Kessari Quadrant. At first glance, the Enigma appears only suited for defense; however, if allowed time to deploy its entire array of blocker missiles, the Enigma can literally roll over its enemy by launching a surprise attack with the teleporter then quickly advancing to the target. The Enigma's blockers will attempt to intercept enemy missiles; this tendency can be used to your advantage.
