The Anshani are an ancient race of space farers from the role-playing game Incursion by Tri Tac Games. The Anshani were one of the first sentient races to arise in the Milky Way Galaxy over five billion years ago. They, like humanity, evolved from a creature that once lived the trees. But unlike humanity, they never became warlike or hostile to others. Somehow, they evolved a peaceful society that was free of most of the problems that plagued other races. They used a fairly standard writing system, what with enough clues and "Rosetta stones" that it can be translated for the most part.
