The races of the Galactic Union
7000 years in the future, Humanity has spread itself amoung the stars yes, but not alone. All manner of creatures have been risin to cultures of incredible scales, sprawling among dozens of star systems and controlling thousands of planets.
Humans
while most of the population is physically very similar to the humans of our time, humanity has grown in variety due to the innumerable worlds it has colonised and the number of ways ones body can now be modified technologically and mechanically.
The human sector of the galaxy is the largest there is, crafted before the Galactic Union began, and at its heart is earth, a mighty and beautiful beacon of possibility and acheivement, rescured from an early and ignoble end by the unification of all the world's people. Humans are not merely part of the Galactic Union but its founder, and in thier past desires for dominion and control had created many of the other species of the Milky way, though thier attitudes have long changed to focus on cooperation and a brighter future for all. After the destructive chaos of the Forgotten war, Humanities rulers have reboubled thier efforts into the unity of the people, fighting to retain order in a disordered galaxy teetering on the edge of breaking. |
CrazakThe first of Humanities child races to be found again, the Crazak met their creators not as subjugates, but as equals. They had been seeded upon a world of incredible mountains and plains, and they had grown into a people of incredible physicality. Standing between 8 and 10 foot tall, the Crazak's grey-brown skin is thick and scaled, able to turn aside weapon fire and the mighty claws of the creatures that prowl thier home planet.
Individual Crazak are often proud, delighting in thier Physical strength, their individual power and the standing of their culture. While many exceptions exist, Crazak are usually conscripted into thier military at a young age, learning to fight for and love thier sector until the two concepts are entirly combined and drilled deep into the heart of the Crazak. The goverment that rules over the Crazak people, the Grand Crazak Republic, is a tempremental, teritorial beurocracy that favours loud debate and grand notions over real action, but when roused they can muster some of the most powerful warriors and excessive firepower the Galactic Union can see. |
Excation
Not a species created by humans, the Excation are the only other naturally evolved intelegent species. A young species, the Excation joined the Galactic Union after the forgotten war, only to be terrified by level of destruction that was wrought, learning that their species could have been wiped out without even knowing what was happening.
A comunual species, the Excation have a shared neural connection that allows them to comunicate their ideas and emotions with high efficency. Their hostile homeworld fostered a great need for cooperation and the lack of conflict in their history means means that when aggression is needed the excation fall back on their long history of hunting. As a seperatly evolved species, the Excations biology is complety incompatible with teragenic species; their body fluids are alchohols, they have an exoskeleton and their biology uses large amounts of silicon. |
