Bard's Philosophy
"We, the Bard Empire are followers of the Philosophy of Chance! Our species looks may be deceiving, but we are not normally a violent and war-like species. We enjoy the finer things in life, like food and drink and laughter. Why just last month we had some friends over for dinner from a neighboring system. They were delicious! "Soon we will tell you what awaits you if you join us."

Voice
When encountered, they have a high, squeaky voice. Almost childish. They seem to take more time to stop chattering after an action.
