The Azken are a humanoid species native to a galaxy they call Insara.

The Azken greatly resemble humans externally.

However, there are some internal differences which set them apart. Azken have two hearts and denser muscles than humans, giving them increased strength and better stamina. They also have better night vision.

One of their greatest weakness' is that they are more susceptible to heat than humans.

Culture
The Azken in Insara believed themselves to be the first race in their galaxy to evolve,

History
Little is known about the origins of the Azken race.

Not long after developing FTL travel, the Azken began uniting sentient species in the galaxy under their rule, promising peace and new technologies in exchange. Several races attempted to rebel, though they all failed and were made slaves.

Later in their history, the Azken Empire was facing internal threats from an Azken rebel group known as the Mierath. While their motives were unknown, their actions plunged the Azken Empire into civil war. Before the war began, several politicians, scientists and engineers met and decided to send a large fleet of ships known as the Flotilla to another galaxy in order to colonize and rebuild.
