Shaross were a fairly peaceful farming species on their home planet of Valcasani. Shaross used tools on their fields and not on each other. The few wars that were waged on Valcasani were fought hand to hand and usually lasted around one hundred years. After the abduction most of the shaross were forced to stray from that path to survive. In farming villages at the outskirt of the Valgonni Jungle a small amount of the shaross population still lives by the old ways. It is traditional for shaross warriors to wear braids in their hair. Those shaross who wear the braids without the rank of warrior often find themselves on the wrong end of the true warriors. Some warriors even collect the braids of fakes. The shaross are the majority of the sentient population on the planet.

​

Since the time of the Great War the shaross have acted as peacekeepers across the world. Founding the nation of Orrillia their relations with the others countries have grown. Alvanta is still outside the loop and not many shaross are even allowed inside. Because of possible threats to the security of the world the Orrillian government has worked with its allies to form the Drosiayde Embassy. The shaross are a primary species of this group.
