During the Large Magellanic Mapping initiative - Contact was made with a humanoid species that was unknown to the Attikan or any other known LMC society [1].

The contact was immediately very positive and possible membership was discussed almost right away.

The true name of the Delicates is very difficult to pronounce but translates into term that has the same meaning as gentle, soft and delicate. The term Delicate was adopted as species defining term.

The discovery of the Delicates made an unusual big impact,and not only for their Psionic abilities or their advanced tech, but for their appearance, [2]

The Delicates are perceived as very beautiful by every humanoid and even a few no humanoid species.

They are a matriarchy society with the female at the center of the society and culture,but the males have more or less equal rights. Only recently Delicate males seeking Union membership and travel off planet. While female Delicates can be found in all social roles and Union services, the males almost exclusively seek Union service in libraries, OOP, Citizen Office and other non military services.

In 5001 the first and so far only Delicate female completed Union Army Orbital Assault qualification. Many can be found in the Fleet and the Science Corps.

Many females have star like careers and a courted by advertisement and fashion companies as models, actresses, singers and product spokes persons.

<p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom:0cm">The Delicates say they had arrived in the LMG about 1000 years ago being driven out of their home galaxy by a terrible enemy. The knowledge from where they came has been lost, and the gate they used to flee was not made by them, but they had destroyed it to prevent the enemy from pursuing them.

<p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom:0cm">The discovery of the Lilith Stalkers and the connection to the Pinwheel Galaxy in 4998 convinced the Delicates that they are from the Pinwheel Galaxy, as the Lilith Stalkers exactly look as the enemy they have escaped.

<p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom:0cm">Currently Union scholars conducting in depth research in old Delicate documents and records, and an archeological dig has been started, around the site where the old Delicate ships had landed the first time.

<p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom:0cm">[2]Their PSI tech is not on Saresii or Leedei level but more advanced than Kermac tech. Their Technology is generally considered TL 8 but is not of Union quality or ruggedness, this has of course changed with membership.
