The typical Gaunt lives up to the Orion nickname. Tall and slender to the point of emaciation, the Ashanti possess surprising strength in their thin limbs. They have grey, leather skin, with hints of red-brown in recessed areas. The skull of an Ashanti is elongated, and the face maintains a constant, somber demeanor. The Gaunts don't use facial expressions to display emotion. Instead, they emit pheromones which are undetectable to anyone but Ashanti. The most noteworthy feature of the race, though, is the four long arms which each possess. They can use these arms to fire multiple weapons with devistating precision. Furthermore, the Ashanti possess an acute sixth sense which makes them aware of the precise location of objects around them. This spatial awareness makes their attacks incredibly accurate. This ability to visualize objects in relation to one another is also the main thing which makes Ashanti such superb military tacticians.
