The Esdinti originate from a planet with a distinctly different atmosphere than that which has supported life throughout the galaxy. The actual composition of the atmosphere is unknown, as very few Esdinti leave their home world, and those that do only have a cursory knowledge; from what information has been gathered it is believed to be mostly carbon dioxide and chlorine. It would be perfectly easy to scan the surface of Esdin, or to ask the Esdinti directly; however, the Esdinti maintain a minimal contact with the rest of the galaxy, and the GSF prohibits the probing of advanced civilisations without their expressed permission.
Those Esdinti that do leave they home world have to wear pressurised suits as the atmosphere on Esdin is much higher than most worlds. The suits also supply a breathable atmosphere that, due to the incompatible atmospheres of most worlds, cannot be filtered indefinitely.
