T-Ashkeru
The T-Ashkeru (also T'Ashkeru, Ashkeru-Taal, colony designation Nyan) are a hybrid humanoid species created through cross-breeding between Taal-Lyran colonies brought to the Sirius B (Thula) system by the Katay and a now-extinct local species of Grays. They are slightly smaller than the average Lyran humanoid due to hybridization, with a triangular face, wide and stretched eyes, and a slim figure. Their government is situated on Nyan, and their civilization spans three additional worlds in the Thula system; colonies on Sathys, Syan, and Morgha carry the name "Sharuu," meaning "from other worlds."
Culture
T-Ashkeru culture is oriented toward science and technology. Their architecture treats nature as an equal partner to urbanism, and their construction technology has influenced many other cultures across the galaxy; a signature material — translucent from one side and opaque from the other, and highly resistant to a wide range of radiations — was the first of its kind. They maintain a plant-based diet following Lyran tradition — a practice shared by all advanced Lyran-descended races, confirmed by Danaan in a 2021 interview: higher-frequency races in this lineage are universally "vegetarian or vegan." and an ability-based education system — Lyran in origin — in which children are grouped by aptitude so they motivate rather than compete with one another.
Thula system cohabitation
On four worlds of the Thula system, T-Ashkeru humanoids cohabit with various Reptilians and hybrids under complex diplomatic arrangements, including technology exchange.
The Ashtar Collective and its rebel faction
The Ashtar Galactic Command — with which many T-Ashkeru are associated at senior levels — originated as a rebel group from the larger Ashtar Collective. The Ashtar Collective was founded in the Sirius B system when the Sirian Ashkeru humanoids organised against Draco reptilians occupation across 21 star systems; its name derives from the ancient Sirian Ash (bright light) + Tar (the seat): Ash-Tar. After significant infiltration and corruption by Draco reptilians agents, a rebel faction — primarily humanoids including many T-Ashkeru — separated from the Ashtar Collective and aligned with the Galactic Federation of Worlds; these rebels took the name Ashtar Galactic Command and were offered a Jupiter outpost to facilitate operations in the Terran system. The corrupted Ashtar Collective (ruled by Orion Reptilians) separately collaborated with Terran secret governments, providing mind-control and interdimensional travel technology later used in the Philadelphia Experiment and Montauk Project.
GFW and Terra involvement
Some T-Ashkeru hold high positions in the Ashtar Galactic Command. Their involvement with Terra operates through three channels: the Ashtar Galactic Command, the Galactic Federation of Worlds, and an Envoy Program to Earth.
In a 2024 interview, Elena Danaan described the Sirius B system's broader strategic significance, noting that synthetic beings modeled on the appearance of benevolent T-Ashkeru-type humanoids were manufactured by the Orion Group in underground Terran bases beginning in 1955, as part of a deception program designed to discredit the legitimate T-Ashkeru factions aligned with the Galactic Federation of Worlds.
The T-Ashkeru are among the Lyran-descended races whose advanced civilizations universally maintain a plant-based diet; Danaan confirmed in a separate interview that "higher-frequency alien races" of the Lyran lineage, including the Sirian humanoid populations, "are all vegetarian or vegan."
