	species_bio="Lifespan 180 years, height 2.2 m, mass 120 kg. Ascalonian builds are slighter than this would suggest, but their exoskeleton incorporates metallic compounds which aid them in reflecting and redistributing heat. Many species find the iridescent sheen this gives them visually striking. Ascalonians are territorial toward their own kind, and have difficulty cooperating among themselves. Being long lived and slow in reproducing, physical conflict between them is rare - so they naturally developed peaceful means of conflict resolution. Surprisingly, Ascalonians are excellent leaders and organizers. Individuals are highly motivated, and their long lives give them ample experience. They have an uncanny ability to understand other beings motivations and intentions, and quickly learn new languages and cultures. They easily form mutually beneficial relationships with other lifeforms, from presentients to alien sentients and gladly welcome anyone willing to assimilate into their society... under their leadership."
