HISTORY: The Kortacean race does not (for the most part) involve itself in the affairs of the galaxy. They have ambassadors within the Galactic Congress, but they do not hold much sway, and do not participate in votes dealing with highly disputed issues.

FUN FACT: Kortaceans are an evolved form of crustaceans- the protective shell of a fully matured Kortacean is as strong as 1/2" steel.
