Name: Potrosi

Homeplanet: It is unknown where the Potrosi began, as all records have been lost.

Sentience: Sentient

Strengths
This species excels in making technology (albeit not the most ecologically friendly technology), creating small spider-like machines as large as cats called "Spindle-Smokers", as well as their tank-sized equivalents, "War-Smokers". Other machines like these are present, but these are the two most notable types.

Being small in stature (usually being a tallest at 3 feet), Potrosi can easily fit in tight/small spaces.

Weaknesses
After generations of living in smoke-filled environments both in space and planetary has forced the Potrosi species' lungs to weaken, forcing them to wear environmental suits and gas masks to breath properly.

Their small stature can also lead to quite a few problems for the Potrosi when dealing with other species' technologies.

Appearance

Potrosi look like small humanoids, with short, tubby legs and arms like a baby's, ending in four fingers/toes (including thumbs), and a large pot belly in accordance to their body. Their skin is usually a dull brown or grey coloration, with little to no hair growing anywhere on their bodies. No one is sure of what their faces look like, but it is known that some grow small protrusions above their eyes.

Culture
Potrosi believe in the ideals of Capitalism to the point where their entire civilization is based around commerce, gaining more money, and placing monopolies over items. If something might impede the progress of the Potrosi's goal, than it will be removed.

History
Long ago, something drove the Potrosi from their homeworld, forcing them to take to the stars as a massive fleet of spaceships to search for a new home. Eventually, the fleet split up, eventually splitting into individual ships which went off to find their own fortunes in the galaxy, spreading the species far and wide.

Now, the Potrosi are on the brink of extinction due to this, as only a few begin to collaborate to prevent the complete collapse of the species, trying to find the secrets of cloning technology. Most remaining, however, tend to stick with their capitalistic ventures, believing that preservation cannot be achieved and they should live life to the fullest while they can. And a select few Potrosi believe the key to survival lies in adventure, and finding lost artifacts of magic and such to help with the cloning process.
