[Scavengers] Offerings
It's not uncommon to have veterans perform little rituals before venturing into the derelicts, often surrounded by a little crowd of fellow scavengers.
The young blood laugh at the superstitions of the old fools, the seasonned scrappers tho? they know better.
One thing that I really want for the setting is to have an intricate layer of traditions peeps follow to keep morale into the cold darkness of the precursors ruins.
It can be little things, like throwing a few offerings into a derelict before venturing deeper into it, hoping to appease whatever lurks within.
Sharing a meal with your whole company at a specific area, like the scavengers of centuries ago.
Stuff like that may seem stupid to the novice but one thing is certain, those who return from the derelicts tend to follow them religiously.
I'm finally getting close to finish the color picture that had me stuck for so long.
After that, i'm back to work on scavengers.
Don't want to spoil anything but things should finally get interesting in a few months :)

it's something that is going to be slowly escavated through pictures :3 (and comics pages, not in too long hopefully)
but long story short, the action take place into a specific area of space where there is a shitton of drifting precursor derelicts, huge hulls full of valuable tech.
The area is so dense of that many generations of scrappers only scratched what could be recovered from it.
Due to its isolated location on the galactic map, the local superpowers (that are pretty much "city states in space") prefer to buy the valuable tech to the various misfits of this area.
it's a shit job, full of dangers and most peeps just want to get enough money to bail or retire.
also, there is something wrong with the darkness in the deepest parts of the derelicts.
THERe
tldr:
peeps scavenge precursor tech on drifting derelicts.
it's deadly n scary.
macros are scared too
you have everything i did so far here: https://drive.google.com/drive/fold.....lt?usp=sharing

i'll just recycle stellawuff lore and have them be remaining creations of the precursors, albeit millenia of evolution have them changed.
they (the macros) are mostly present in that area of space (the Frontier) and are rarely seen outside of it.
do note that no one know that the macros are linked to the precursors, not even themselves.
they're just "here" and the vast majority of the galaxy think they're only legends.
"here there be dragons" expect in this case, there is.
----
the setting will be "old" and the various rise in power then fall of various space empires make it hard to keep track of old studies n shit
the past is mostly a blurr, like we don't know most from the bronze age for exemple

No, they're normalized too.
The matriarch pic may be confusing but all the pampering comes from her status, not her size.
They're just rare on a galactic scale and peeps will roll eyes if you mention anthro tigresses with tits as big as tanks.
On the Frontier tho, they're common sight.

I can see that the smal oferings can be by group by group basic wery diferent to each others.
Like some group gathers old weapon gear parts like nuts, bolts, scraps and hang them near by walls.
Some gather prety things like flower petals, glass baubles, color full papers and cloth and sprinle and shrine small nooks on the staging area.
There is so many interesting ideas for thes small and bit biger Offering rituals to calm the hec down before plunging in the darkness.

Yea I can see how giving your respect to those how where lost in there is important part of the scavenger culture.
But yeah lighting candles to ward the dark, food to a peace the lost, tokens and maybe figurative items (toy guns, make shift ammo clips) to help the dead to pass on or continue the after life in there.
That may be bit too far but I might do something like that to calm my nerves in there.

And, like all such things, the traditions are probably some combination of 'it worked this way once so we're going to keep doing it' and having completely forgotten why things are that way. Some of them may have started as hazing rituals to mess with the new guys, and then none of the ones who knew it was supposed to be a joke survived the mission.
