The Neste are described as the most currious and talkative  member species of the Union. Especially their males. For this reason no male Neste has ever passed Navy Academy requirements. They simply can't keep secrets (and they know it) Problem is they can't really stand secrets either and given the chance they will try to uncover it.

That is why there is no male Neste  military personnel.

But there are many in law enforcement and news agencies. Often called the best paparazzi in the Universe. Gossip magazines and GalNet channels prefer hiring Neste over any other species.

The species has two sexes (male and female) The males are somewhat bigger and have colorful blue tinted plumage, while the females are smaller and have gray feathers only.

(This has changed since Union membership. The female Neste are now coloring their feathers and use make up to color their beaks and talons.)

Female Neste can be found in every Union occupation including USN and Army.

The Neste are LDRS consumers and while they are capable of digesting insects and mollusks. Their preferred diet are cereal based crackers.
