Noshinsis are the third most common race throughout the galaxy. Their name began in jest from other races, particularly humans, with whom they share deep common resemblance. Over time, the Noshinsis began calling themselves as such, reserving the term "Godar" for private or ceremonial purposes and the origin of their common name is forgotten by most other races and most Noshinsi themselves.
As Zhilkitzfaws was inadvertently destroyed by Noshinsi sects in opposition to the Zhilkitzfaws government’s calculated plans of conquest throughout the galaxy, Noshinsis typically live simpler lives than their counterparts in the Koman, human, Qualmloid, Orfezzin or Jadan races. Despite their numbers throughout the galaxy, Noshinsis generally opt to remain in the background of events, contributing more in ambassadorial roles for their governments than positions of outright leadership.
I have used Noshinsis in stories such as "The Thirteenth Day on Kurko" and "Memorial Dinner" and in all of my novels. I often tend to use them as background people when I want to diversify the Sivil Galaxi beyond human habitation.
