Porn Traders Of Telus Four

“Every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage.”
                                                            William S. Burroughs

 They have always been with us. Since the beginning of life on Earth they've come from the stars to watch & wait. They're that little bit of paranoid feeling at the back of your head that feels like someone is just over your shoulder but never there.  They live in the planar spaces in the Outer Darkness within the pages of  holographic magazines in the Human Space Empire Era. Mass-distributed pornography is as old as the modern printing press. Almost as soon as photography was invented, it was being used to produce pornographic images. They're the one's feeding on the impulse of that little sick sensation in the back of your mind when you see images that are simply wrong.  What are "they" 
  They are a group of planar life forms some place between demons & the old ones. In the era of the Human Space Empires their minions move through the crowds of aliens, near humans, & humans selling their wares. They sell ideology  & the lies behind tem They feed off of the feelings we get from  the desired result.Which is to drive consumer behavior with respect to a commercial offering, although political and ideological advertising is also common as the night sky.

Some scientists have speculated that they modify humans & near humans into their agents & as mankind has expanded across the stars so have they. They deal in appetites,desires, & signs. Some believe the rat race process that man has given into allows them greater access to areas know as territories. 
They're agents possess great psychic abilities & are known by their increased mental capacity & dangerous mental prowess. 
These agents are taken from the societies the Traders are trying to infiltrate & then rewired using a wide variety of techniques & technologies from nanite reprogramming to psycho surgical processes.  
The end product is always a disturbingly attractive member of the race with traces of the too perfect super science abilities bleeding into regular conversation.There are those who call these beings Semioticoids or Gramoraians because of the secret languages they communicate in with each other. This is done with a language 

of signs and sign processes (semiosis), indication, designation, likeness, analogy, metaphor, symbolism, signification, and  mental communication. 
 These beings are often seen around pirate haven worlds, illegal colonies, & even outer planar destinations!

There are some who suggest that the Porn Traders Of Telus Four might have been the ones who partially corrupted the Derro & there has been some evidence that these beings technology was found among some Derro bases!  
   One such thing was a Neo plastic blob that was used in some sort of cloning complex where strange companion dolls were being manufactured! The wall of flesh killed thirty soldiers before lightning guns were used on it! More details of these strange dangers are found cancerous-growth here
 The porn traders agents have also been seen in Interzone where they do business with the deadly Nova Mob. Very few pry into their business & live to tell the tale. They themselves are immobile & look like armored sponges. They do have a defense mechanism of 1d10 spines that do 1d8 points of damage & are coated with a poison that acts as an addictive substance unless a save vs poison is made. The victim will be sick for 1d4 days during which time they will have overpoweringly erotic dreams. They will have the impulse afterward to repeat the experience again & again unless separate saves are rolled.

There is strong evidence that this race & its wares have been with mankind for a very long time & there are rumors of  them doing business someplace called Al Amarja. Those prying into their affairs should use desecration & prude or wind up dead. They are not creatures to be trifled with.
