Warblooded are jinsuls who have survived at least a half-dozen engagements in service to the Jinsul Hierocracy. They take on roles of minor leadership or as elite sharpshooters and commandos in a unit of other jinsuls. Warblooded often elect to sit out of engagements that they deem “beneath” them, opting to train up or observe fights from a distance unless they need to step in as reinforcements. These jinsuls often use their extra training time to learn how to pick out critical foes in a battle.

All Creatures in "Jinsul"
Jinsuls are a warlike species scattered across the Vast. Six-legged creatures with a bulbous body covered in eyes, jinsuls have notable segments of chitin along with a set of upper forelimbs for using equipment. They long ago lived in the region of space known as the Scoured Stars but eventually departed and settled on the harsh world of Rax. In recent years, the divine herald Dhurus unified the jinsuls into a cohesive force known as the Jinsul Hierocracy, which briefly retook the Scoured Stars. A joint alliance between several species and members of the Starfinder Society defeated Dhurus and scattered the jinsuls back into the Vast.
With countless bases and fleets operating in deep space, jinsuls mostly act as raiders, scavenging for equipment and testing their mettle against other species. Indoctrinated to view themselves as a superior species, with only other inhabitants of the Scoured Stars having any value, jinsuls prefer to engage in short-ranged combat with their foes.
Jinsuls aren't numerous enough to fill every need on the many ships and starbases they control across the galaxy. Instead, they rely on robots and automated computer systems (always commanded by at least one jinsul officer) to keep their space stations running efficiently. These systems are programmed to be just as deadly and ruthless as jinsuls themselves; even the most innocuous automated system or robot, like a garbage collector, might wield deadly weapons or contain vicious technomagical countermeasures.
