Dritors

Dritors are a fictional sapient species that appears in the Dritor Universe, a shared setting used across novels, role-playing games, and digital media. In most portrayals, dritors are humanoid and highly adaptable, capable of withstanding diverse climates and environments. Descriptions of their physiology vary, but common features include a lean build, height around 1.75 to 2.0 meters, and skin with a subtle bioluminescent pattern used for social signaling. Dritors are typically depicted as long-lived, with strong memory and learning capacities that support technical and scholarly pursuits.

Society and governance: Dritor communities are usually organized around decentralized, consensus-based networks rather than centralized authority. Social cohesion is maintained through memory archives, shared education, and collaborative decision-making. Interpersonal communication emphasizes transparency and tact, and the culture places high value on knowledge preservation and mentorship.

Technology and economy: The dritors are portrayed as advanced engineers and information specialists who design complex information networks, energy systems, and sustainable habitats. Their economies emphasize stewardship, open science, and interplanetary exchange rather than conquest. In various works, their technology enables large-scale computation, terraforming, and resilient infrastructure.

History and depiction: The dritors first appeared in the early 23rd century in the novel The Dritor Accord and have since appeared in sequels, games, and art books. Individual authors and media may reinterpret details, resulting in variations in appearance, language, and customs. The term "dritor" is sometimes spelled with regional variations but generally refers to the same fictional lineage.
