Bio: The Oas'sin(similar to oasis) is a living jungle, guided by a central consciousness. Through a unique evolutionary pathway and interactions with dust these plants are not your garden variety. They are bright with colours and some are even fully mobile, vines and roots have sprouted on most species of Oas'sin to aid in mobility and tool use. They all refer themselves as Oas'sin as they work as one towards the betterment of their environment. The consciousness of the Oas'sin has become more curious about it's own creation, and about what lays beyond its lush planet, it has sent pods into space to search for these answers. 

  The Oas'sin think as a single entity and feels every death during war. Their plant like nature allows colonization of many planets, however population grows slower due to high food requirements. They need immigration and cooperation of other races to grow their planets at a decent rate. Tech is dependent on other races Oas'sins plants study foreign tech when the planet is given away. Taking a Oas'sin planet doesn't end after conquest, Approval ratings will be low and so will food supply, until the planet terraformed approval and FIDS gain will stay low.

Political Ideology: Pacfists

Gameplay: This faction is focused towards a diplomatic victory and expansion victory and would try to avoid conflict as it can quickly create instability. Wars need to be settled quickly and the player will be encouraged to give away planets to mitigate the tech disadvantage. It is also in a rivals best interest to only attack if they have the resources and tech to control the planet afterwards, and to slowly chip away at the Oas'sins as conquering many planets at once would cause massive unrest for very little profit. Tech victory is also possible, however giving away can quickly create large allies that may turn to formidable enemies if provoked.
