They are rather open to others but have so far never extended an offer to visit the home fleet. In adverse situations their behavior varies.
History: [Describe an abridged history.]: The Ast-Vallen originally came from a world which was reduced to rubble after an experiment involving the mass use of nuclear power went unexpectedly wrong. The resulting chain reaction of detonations rendered the home planet into rubble. Since then the Ast-Vallen have lived aboard their ships searching for a new home planet that will meet the necessary atmospheric conditions. As a result of the extended period of living in the sterile ships their immune systems deteriorated to a point where pretty much any outside matter or atmosphere could cause illness or death. The Home Fleet is currently sitting in open space, occasionally moving to avoid any asteroids or other matter hurtling through space.
