this particular alien race is violent they are fanatics they worship a sleeping god and formed
their own hierarchy around this today we're going to be talking about the ginseng let's get into it
for thousands of years the ginseng viewed conquest and survival as the calling of their god cadrical
those who believed him viewed their superiority as their proof that he exists but there was also
a group within the gin souls who believed that because they were surviving and because they were
existing that this was the abandonment of their god the jinsuls did turn their back on cadrical
for a short period and now they view ritual sacrifice as a way to get back in his good books
these guys terrify me cadrical is a deity who raised a golden shield around their entire solar
system of this golden energy they called it the god shield and the jinsuls built their temples to
worship cadrical for doing this now mysteriously the god shield vanished around the star system
and the jinsuls and many other species that were living within the scoured stars
used this as an opportunity to go out and explore space the skyward stars system is a trinary star
system located in the vast and they just went out and started exploring now the jinsuls in
particular they formed their own group known as the jinsul hierarchy as part of their existence
they tried to test themselves against some of the other races or anything that they
encountered in their in their exploration of the vast this led them down a very dark path and they
became addicted to this bloodlust to this idea of conquest this was very similar to the vesk however
unlike the vesk who would let you still live you just had to live under the better life
of vesk rule and law the jinsuls to them you were to be purged in some stellaris terms
the xenopurge if you're familiar with that game so this process of conquest and testing themselves
against other races basically turned them into bloodthirsty monsters now cadrical after a very
long time tried to call the jinsuls back to the scoured star system he sent them a magical
artifact that was called a tear the jinsuls had separated themselves into six major factions
and these were each led by a singular warlord these six warlords they weren't having any of that
and they destroyed the tier they broke it into six pieces and then they consumed its magical essence
now the power they consumed inside the tear turned these warlords into semi-divine beings and these
new beings these magical beings they united the jinsuls into the singular hierarchy that they are
known to be now now the warlords believed that it was divine right that they were able to get this
power and they also believed that they deserved it because of all the killing that they had been
doing they saw themselves as the superior species and this was their right now to continue with
this i have to give a little bit of context and i really want to explore this in another video but
here's some high level things that happened after this event eventually cadrical got sick of the
jinsuls 's [ __ ] and he sent one of his heralds to go collect them cadrical is served by four
heralds and one of them is the herald of conquest this herald of conquest goes by the name of doris
the ginseng hierarchy and i realize i may have said that wrong at the start now but
oopsies it's actually the ginseng hierarchy they made racks which is a very dangerous and
volatile planet their home planet and main base of operations and rax's solar system is located
near a nebula that constantly emits cosmic horrors this suited the jinsuls just fine because they got
to test themselves against whatever nightmares came out of this nebula when duress showed up
to collect the jinsul he got them a little riled up under his leadership he was able to gather the
hierocracy together and follow him back to scoured stars the issue with this is even though duress is
the herald of cadrical he views himself as more something bigger more important than cadrical
and he is actually trying to usurp cadrical's power for his own purposes now he has the backing
of the jinsuls behind him because he got them to believe in his conquest and they now serve
duress now here's the thing about phonetics when you can bring them to your side they go all
in and the jinsuls to prove how on board they were with this new
change of management the jinsuls set fire to their home planet all of the cities they raised
it to the ground there was nothing for them to go back to and those warlords that used to unite the
jinsuls well the six warlords were branded as heretics they were tortured and then they were
strapped to the front of doris's ship and that's basically where they stayed alive tied to the
ship as a sign that if you see them coming this is bad news for you so the jinsuls went back to
the scoured stars and they started claiming the system again if you're new to the channel here

in the description below now if you haven't seen it from some of the pictures already a jinsul is a
terrifying six-legged chittenous creature at least that's what the that's what it says you can find
them in alien archives three page sixty they can also be found in various star society scenarios
now the gentle also has something like arms for limbs but they're also covered in eyes like the
whole body is covered in eyes the ginseng can see in 360 degrees and because they are
so strange looking the only way to tell the front and back of a ginseng is the location of the mouth
and even this is lined with sharp pointy teeth pincers and general things of crushing death and
the end of you the jinsuls also participate in a very disturbing coming-of-age ritual
what they do is they basically implant cybernetic sabers into the front legs of them
and they do this to prove how strong they are because they do it without pain meds there is
no anesthesia there is no tylenol 3 they do this just without anything and you have to survive
and stay conscious these buggers terrify me the jinsuls also work with a surprising efficiency
everything they build their space stations their their starships everything they build it's all
able to be run by automated systems or robots simple robots that can perform simple tasks
anything they build can be run with a skeletal crew you don't need a lot of bodies to make sure
whatever you're operating runs they also like to make sure that everything that they're doing can
serve more than just one purpose and by doing this this allows them to be very efficient war machines
because they can just drop troops on you very quickly very efficiently they have also developed
weapons to destroy you without having to set foot on your starship like literally they invented
something called the vandal rocket launcher a vandal rocket that gets through a ship's shields
changes into these little robots that automatically dismantle ships they just pull
apart your hull and the only reason the technology exists within the pack worlds now is because
somebody survived an encounter with the jinsuls although barely they probably did make a lot of
money selling this technology to the packed world so maybe there's that i guess now the skyward
stars as i mentioned is a trinary system that means there are three suns in this solar system
it is also a terrifying system because all of the plants all of the fauna all of the creatures that
live on these planets in the scoured stars they are all vicious and they all will try to kill you
the gin souls while a nightmare were not the only creatures or the only species to come out of
this system there was actually eight major civilizations that lived here under the
protection of cadrical now you couldn't have gotten into the scoured stars before the gap
because of the the god shield and the barrier that protected the solar system however sometime during
the gap this shield gave out the reason the shield existed in the first place was because cadrical
did not want to let his worshipers his followers he didn't want to let them go but as soon as the
shield went down they all took the opportunity and left and cadrical wanted them all to come back
that's why he sent them tears not just the jinsuls but he sent one tier to every civilization that
he used to protect protect now it wasn't until 317 ag after gap that the ginseng hierarchy made
first contact with the starfinder society and in conjunction the pact worlds this did not go well
for the starfinder society if you'd like to learn a little bit more about the scoured stars incident
in the starfinder society i have a video on the screen for you now thank you to all of my patrons
who have supported me thus far and continue to support me thanks for stopping by everyone
