The Quantar Nation is the first of the playable races Codemasters has let people browse the Galactic Database for their forthcoming Sci-Fi MMORPG. The other two significant races for Jumpgate Evolution are the Solarin and Octavian.

The Quantar have splinted into different philosophical factions each following their own view of the universal truth but are united by the view that humanity’s future is in the stars.

Even the ships of the Quantar are created according to their spiritual principles and they believe that the ship and pilot can come to act and be a single being – a view that outsiders struggle to take seriously.

Codemasters divides up the Galactic Database by Earth region but the introduction to the Factions page for UK viewers can be found here.

Here’s a snippet form the Quantar page;

In many ways, Quantar is an enigma to the other nations. Dismissed as superstitious or even ignorant by those who see only a facade of cultural mannerisms, the Quantar often astonish unsuspecting visitors with their sophistication. Quantar technology is every bit as advanced as that of Solrain or Octavius, and though their society seems to have slipped backwards toward tribalism, its adaptive fluidity may actually be more mature than the societies of their brethren. The Quantar are walkers of many paths: the philosopher, the zealot, the peacemaker, the warrior, the scientist, and the evangelist each has his place, both within the society and even within the heart and mind of each individual.
