Altarian Republic
Enlightened Leadership
Akari Malara
The Altarians represent a faction in Galactic Civilizations IV. They are led by Akari Malara Altarians are a deeply religious race, taken to acts of great benevolence in their interactions with others. This has, perhaps not coincidentally, given them a reputation for being self-righteous.
Altarians are careful researchers, generally content, and influential with their neighbors. Their ships are known for being fast but fragile, though they can organize large fleets when called upon.
History
The Altarians are a deeply religious race, claiming to have at one point been touched by powerful beings known as the Precursors. Kind and generous to a fault, their unique history means Altarians are prone to a certain degree of self-righteousness when they find themselves dealing with other, lesser races. For some as yet unexplained reason, Altarians appear almost identical in appearance to Terrans, and make easy friends with Earthlings when they come across them. Altarian prophecy has spoken of the day they would meet their cousins. Few know if that prophecy had anything to say about what would happen next.
