Key Points
Reka communicates through gesture and a shared telepathic subconscious, spoken language is more contextual than informational. They are able to communicate through mimicry, syphoning memories from other sentient’s and reciting them in pitch-perfect form.
Once a client race of The Myriad, the Reka attempted to break free of their control by a mass exodus with a secret fleet of warp ships. Unbeknown to them, a member of their species had sold them out. The Myriad came in a force out of the Whisper Gate, and decimated the Reka. The resulting battle shattering the Reka homeworld. One in ten were spared, and of that pitiful few further degenerations were placed upon them. A virus was unleashed that crippled their species ability to reproduce, resulting in a diminished birth rate and reliance on Myriad aid to even propagate.
But the ships...those were kept. The Reka were conscripted into the role of fast couriers and secretive scouts, the riskier assignments and work gaining them meagre boons and favour. Larger gains were made when the Reka brought the Myriad new species to enslave or found those trying to escape their rule.
Their favoured tactic is luring victims into shoal zones, dense asteroid fields, and ion storms where their smaller ships have the advantage over larger vessels.
