**Population:** 1,000,000,000 In the [[Astromundi Cluster]], the neogi are not a military power. Knowing that they could not effectively compete with the Sun Mage and [[Illithid Empire|Illithid]] forces, the neogi have adopted the role of neutral traders in the Cluster. They will sell anything, to anyone. Operating from various bases throughout the Cluster, and especially in [[the Inner Ring]], the neogi have established themselves as the primary traders in Clusterspace. This doesn't make them pleasant folk. They are a cruel and treacherous race, given to hard bargaining and the occasional misrepresentation of goods. Still, their services are necessary as they often have access to goods available nowhere else. This includes slaves, which are legal throughout most of Clusterspace. Human slaves are the most common, but the neogi have begun to dabble in the dwarven and elven slave trade as well. This has caused some friction, but none will stand against the neogi for fear the traders will invoke their embargoes. In a sphere as dependent on trade as the Astromundi Cluster, a trade embargo can destroy a colony in weeks. The neogi are a reasonably trustworthy group of traders. Wise adventurers keep an eye on them, however, because they will attempt to get away with just about anything. Deceit is not their main stock in trade, but neither is it unknown to them. ## Individuals Individual neogi have a tendency to become obnoxiously accommodating. They will do whatever they can to make those they encounter feel comfort- able and at ease. Of course, this does serve to put people into a bargaining frame of mind... **Rank**: 2 ## Images ![[neogi_folk.png]]
