The Xiptin are somewhat similar to the Kilotian in terms of evolutionary development and natural environment. They are bigger and have distinctive developed arms and manipulators. They communicate in the Ultrasonic level and are fierce predators. The Xiptin were shunned and feared by others and the Galactic Council deemed them to revolting to be conquered or used as a Thrall species. A Xiptin delegation during a Peace conference on Dioba, noticed a Kilotian Union Fleet officer and the cooperation and friendship the Kilotian displayed dealing with his fellow Union Officers impressed the Xiptin deeply. They send a delegation to Pluribus to learn more about the Union and it became clear to them that they would be fully accepted and not considered ugly, revolting or unfit for membership. Xiptin work hard for generations to become an aesthetic civilization with great emphasis on arts and good manners and polite interaction. (You never get killed in a more polite and civilized manner, than being battle dissected by a Xiptin,  is a common Union joke.) Xiptins joined the Union in 4007. The Xiptin Cultural Pavilion on Pluribus is a must for any art lover and houses one of the finest art collections of the Galaxy. Civics: Union Representative is elected and acts as President of the Xiptin people.
