Mishtali
The Mishtali were the first intelligent life forms Humanity came in contact with, and at the time were enjoying a prolonged and happy bronze age. Perhaps fortunately for them, it was a faction of Humanity known as the Unadorned who discovered them--absorbed as they were in their computers--they treated the Mishtali with vaguely interested benevolence. But under this neglectful protective shadow the Mishtali were able to cope with their suddenly accelerated development allowing their identify and culture to survive. So, unlike others, they grew in strength and emerged upon the galactic scene a respectable space-faring species unto themselves.

Culture
Given the cultural oddities of both the Unadorned, who come close to religious reverence in their views on computers, and the Mishtali, known for being the source of the cult of the devourer wherein the religious rituals are accompanied by the consumption of the remains of alien sentients, it is believed by many to be just as well that little more developed between these two. FIXME Needs more to tie into the physical characteristics once they are known
Religion
The Mishtali practice a number of religions, both native and foreign. Chief among the native religions in, albeit infamous, notariety, is the Cult of the devourer. The Cult of the Devourer centers on the belief that success in life is directly tied with what one eats, and that the more powerful the being that was eaten, the better one's life can be. Thus, eating the remains of sentient beings is as good as it gets. This, obviously, raises a few issues among many groups, but there are enough humans and Dgn willing to be paid for the eventual consumption of their corpse that the churches of the Cult of the devourer tend not to lack for sustenance. These churches are, as a rule, very festive and pleasant places to visit, provided one is not turned off by the cuisine. The Mishtali have been very willing to convert to just about anything, so the Mishtali also tend to have the largest alien populations of most obscure human religions.
Number scheme
Base e.
This is what happens when math types (of admitedly questionable initial sanity) decide to bring civilization to an undeveloped species.
