Mothfolk are gregarious, communal driven people set on a forever pilgrimage from a dead solar system that collapsed itself into a nova. In the earliest years of First Contact, they survived in rusted generation ships drifting aimlessly in space under skeptical conditions, with the constant threat of dwindling supplies and an uncertain future hanging over their heads.

= History =
== Pre-FTL ==

The exact origins surrounding these personable nomads is murky, if wildly distorted from person to person at best. Unexplained causes surrounding their homeworld urged the mothfolk to exhaust all their resources in constructing uncomfortable, but efficient generation ships that managed to house tens of thousands. From hundreds to three, many ships didn’t survive the challenges of space. As a result, the circumstances surrounding their beginning and their home planet is lost to complete apocrypha. It’s not known what happened, where it is if it still exists at all, and no form of mothmade medium survived to recount the events. What is implied through the little hints scattered in cuisine, livestock, and plants that managed to survive, was that their homeworld contained a high oxygen atmosphere which enabled moths to evolve into the exoskeletal appearance they present today. Moths present little interest in discovering a past that has no bearing on present day needs. With very little evidence or documentation that survived the trip, they’ve long made peace with a past that refuses to surface, and currently remain as wild speculations shared over coffee.

== First Contact (TBD) ==

When they met humans, it wasn’t with the best first impressions. Limited fuel drove them to piracy over dialogue, and it was only through persistent attempt to contact was when trade realized the better option for their survival. Through joint efforts and trends bleeding into each other’s cultures, humanity has grown to acknowledge the mothfolk as a valuable friend. While moths were ahead of humans in the space race when first encountered, they hit a plateau - they didn’t have the resources or the manpower to grow until humanity caught up and equipped them with the means of interstellar travel that saw these generation ships grow into fully fledged, sophisticated vessels that gathered into the [[Lore:Grand Nomad Fleet|Grand Nomad Fleet]].
