Adding to the general query of aliens in Coriolis I've a few queries about the "shaggy gods" of this region, the Emissaries from Xene...

...so if I'm reading this right, no one really knows what an Emissary looks like, they walk around in some sort of suit or something and presumably are something that can live in a gas giant right? Sorta like the Vorlons from "Babylon 5"?

...the narrator in the intro from the Kickstarter describes them as "strange ghosts". Are the people of the Third Horizon always so eloquent in speech... Or do some have alternate explanations for the Emissaries... spirits, demons, or such?

...have the Emissaries provided any evidence to substantiate their claim that they are the Icons? Or is this largely being taken on faith by those that believe them? At the very least this might have eased matters with the Order of the Pariah (I mean seriously... it's almost like they wanted to drive a theological wedge between the general populace and one of it's most proven defending factions...) Hmm... that said can the Order of the Pariah be considered to be in a state of "Cold War" with the Emissaries, or are they simply keeping them at arm's length and biding their time?

...on that note, it seems they are suggested as being the race that built the Portals. Have they given any evidence of this or is it just suspected because... aliens!

...so if the Emissaries have a seat at the Council have they actively participated in decision-making for the Council of Factions or do they largely sit back and be cryptic?

...Have the Emissaries appeared in other systems besides Kua?

...Since they made the effort to reach us, has there been any effort by the Third Horizon to venture into Xene and see what's there?

...has there been any trade with the Emissaries? I mean we're talking alien race here... you can just see at least one Maltese Falcon style adventure for something that turns out to be the xenological equivalent of a toenail clipper;)

...how many of these Emissaries are out and about? Can one get one as a patron? I can see all sorts of odd scenarios involving individuals that suddenly acquire the favor of one of these beings...

...and have the Emissaries given any input on either the Mystics or the incident in the Taoan system?

Definitely a group to keep eyes upon divine or not...
