Homebrew Gekk Species Details

The Gekk are governed by science, but also by lineage. The smartest Gekkau are already in power, right? There are rumors that the Gekkaun created the first Spelljammers chair due to their scientific ability. They believe that any member of the race has the ability to be a leader, and greatness is intrinsic to a Gekkau. This species loves the unknown and actively seeks it out. Despite living amongst dead gods, Gekkaun believe in their own scientific abilities. They realize that gods are not infallible, and choose to put faith in their own endeavors. 

In their prime, Gekkau had successful business connections with every society, but they seem to have fallen in recent years. Some say the Gekkaun were too overzealous in their persuit of business connections, and that eventually became the race's downfall. They no longer have a planet to call home and tend to keep to the stars.
