Quintha

The Quintha are a race of starfarers, living onboard gigantic asteroid colonies, space stations, or starships. A long time ago their homeworld was destroyed, and their origins largely forgotten throughout history. Today, they shy from even brief planetary landings, prefering to avoid them whenever possible. Their life in space however has granted them other things, and many of them are accomplished navigators, pilots, ship technicians or scientists in any number of space-related fields. Their earliest contact with another species was with the Nitaaru, and they are closely working together to this very day. Their fleet of cargo ships is among the largest in the Dominion. Their military force consists of light ships and starfighters for the most part, since capital ships are often too unwieldy within the confines of their asteroids.

Due to their asteroid colonies, they have also become rather inventive in the use of tractor beams, and are considered the best specialists in that area throughout Ardustaar. Most of their ships are overequipped with such tractor beams; a fact the Kartanin have been using to their advantage when the Quintha supported the Warfleet.
