Powerful Birrin societies have engaged in space exploration and exploitation for decades, constructing a number of orbital facilities, satellites, and launching several manned interplanetary missions. The critical orbital systems, with their relay of radio and television data, climate monitoring, GPS signal transmission and global defence, form an expensive and vulnerable investment by the major houses.

Maintenance of these systems, and the manning of interplanetary vehicles, is undertaken by a politicaly independant astronaut corps funded by an investment pool of nations and organisations with interests in space. Paid well, the corps construct, salvage and decommission orbital objects on a contract basis.

Seen here, a technician sets to work repairing damaged internal systems on an orbital antennae. The large impact-hardened diagnostic package has been integrated with the antennas' interface to root out faulty code or hardware for repair or replacement.

just a quick little nerd gripe from an astrophysics point of view, unless the limbs are pencil thin or the material that comprises the suit is super thermo-insulating nanotechnology the suit would be way too thin to keep the heat necessary to survive in the vacuum of space unharmed with out getting hypothermia or bombarded with deadly cell destroying radiation for more than a few minutes. But lovely illustration though, absolutely beautiful

I was using the Mechanical Counterpressure suit concept. Radiation exposure would be relatively low within the magnetic field of the birrin world, and space missions do not last long.

Are the Birrin a very wealthy and indigenous race? Are they very advanced?

The birrin are advanced in some ways, primitive in others. Their technology is not far ahead of ours now.

Aha... And I'd-a thought no-one had ever made an alien species with human-era technology... (Other than Spore) It's always "Interstellar Empire" or "Primitive Animal", but I've never seen anyone else making aliens with today's level of technology. Keep up the good work you brilliant, brilliant bastard!

People do tend to think of aliens in the context of science fiction. However I think they would probably have to deal with the same problems as us, boring jobs, limited technology etc :P

Of course. In fact, that happens often in society-based fiction, such as even fantasy (For instance, who makes Dwarfish ale? What is the daily schedule of your average-joe elf?), and alternate history. It's up to the authors to imagine stuff like that, whoever the author may be.

I'd love to see a lot more of these guys. Seems like we'd get along famously with them.

Very interesting. What exactly have they found on the planets they have landed on?
