-Although historical sources are not forthcoming from the Oresrian separatist government (nor their Thargoid counterparts for obvious reasons) it is inferred from coincidental information that the two races have been engaged in an ongoing, ruthless war for more than 1000 st.years.
+Although historical sources are not forthcoming from the Oresrian separatist government (nor their Thargoid counterparts for obvious reasons) it is inferred from coincidental information that the two races have been engaged in an ongoing, ruthless war for more than 1000 standard years.
 [[GalCop]] scholars have over the years issued several theories speculating on the initial cause of this conflict, but the hypothesis that Thargoids and Oresrians once were tribes of the same species, often resurfaces.  Many, however, have difficulty accepting that a millenial war could have started over slurs of cowardice, or as the published thesis states, "being called chicken", finding the reasoning circumstantial and the inferrence from the two races' extreme militancy and bravery-fixation, to be conveniently superficial.

	The Oresrian race is a species in the Insectoid family of horrific appearance to the human eye in their own right, but no less so due to their uncanny resemblance to the [[Thargoids]]. Ironically, these races that are so difficult to distinguish from one another, are sworn enemies for reasons, evidently, too ancient for anyone alive to remember.

	Unfortunately, it takes a highly trained eye to tell an Oresrian apart from a Thargoid. The standard advice is to assess the thorax markings, and look closely at the shape of the hind leg's fourth joint, which in Oresrian anatomy should be noticeably more convex. It is often equally, if not more, helpful to contemplate the contextual situation of an encounter.		Unfortunately, it takes a highly trained eye to tell an Oresrian apart from a Thargoid.
