List of Races

The Terran Alliance:


Avg Height:1.8m
Avg Life Expectancy:70yrs
Reproduction:Sexual
Government:Federalist
Population:9,304mil.
Home World:Earth,Sol

Social Backround

The Terrans, or Humans as they call themselves, were once a heavily factioned race; they only recently united after the end of World War VII. However, the one-hundred centuries of near continual civil war has made them masters of military arts and one of the most feared races in the Galaxy. Their seat of power is centered around the Federal Congress which is held in residence at the Federation HQ station, Phoenix Nest, a powerful orbital station near Earth. The congress is composed of seventeen chairmen, one from each of Earth's major continents, two from Mars, a representitive from each teraformed moon in the Sol system, the Supreme General of Ground Forces, and the Supreme Admiral of Interstellar Forces.

The Vill Republic:


Avg Height:1.2m
Avg Life Expectancy:30yrs
Reproduction:Asexual
Government:Republican
Population:123,925mil.
Home World:Vila,Villan

Social Backround

The Vill out number Terrans by a factor of twelve to one and are capable of reproducing at an incredible rate. Unlike all of the other races in the universe who use metals, alloys, and stone for construction, the Vill use advanced biological engineering technics. Their buildings, mecha, and even ships are made entirely from biological material. Since they have lived in undaunghted peace with one another for the last ten-thousand years, they were totally unprepared for the war that the Terrans and Morvul are waging on them. For now they are a miniscule threat, but as they continue to adapt to the tides of war, we may one day find ourselves at their heels. The Vill Republic has a complex central government with nine distinct branches and numerous planets each having several layers of local government that largely mimics the Vill Central Government.

Centarians:


Avg Height:2.4m
Avg Life Expectancy:100yrs
Reproduction:Sexual
Government:Socialist
Population:16,098mil.
Home World:Centris III,Centris

Social Backround

The linear descendants of the Neanderthal, a species that seems to be very genetically similar to Terrans. By best guesses they were taken away from the Terran homeworld at some time in Terran prehistory by the Krull. The Centarians possess a weak central government, but still manage to sustain a stable nation. They are extremely advanced propulsionists and talented industrialists; however, their military research hasn't progressed much since the fall of the Krull. They have managed to outfit a number of their cargo ships with Terran weapons by trading with our outpost colonies. They are currently allied with the Terran Federation, but the current Centarian primer refuses to force his people into a war due to his strong sence of duty toward his subjects safty.

Morvul:


Avg Height:1.6m
Avg Life Expectancy:50yrs
Reproduction:Hermaphrodite
Government:Aristocratic
Population:12,646mil.
Home World:Stormgrad, New Morvul

Social Backround

Most Morvul weaponry is based on Terran technology that was hijacked while crossing the astroid belt in the Sol system twenty-five years ago. Morvul have an extreme hatred for the Vill. They will cross any border and destroy any ship they incounter to get a chance to kill a single Vill. The history of the Morvul, like that of the Terrans, is frequented with many great wars; thus, they are feared combatants. Morvol have a well-developed religion based on ancient stories of the Krull from their original home world. They firmly believe that the Krull were actually divinities. Their religion sets their very first rule of conduct: destroy thy enemies, which they obey without question. The Morvul are still a relatively ununited race. The closest to a central government they have is the Swinglow alliance, a union of many of the predominate aristocratic families who have recently united to take their vengeance against the Vill.

Pirates:


Avg Height:Var.
Avg Life Expectancy:short
Reproduction:Var.
Government:Anarchistic
Population:42mil.
Home World:Var.

Social Backround

Pirates are not actually any specific race. Most are Human, but recently a number of Morvuls and Centarians have also begun to join their ranks. Pirate is a general term for renegade pilots who use privately owned ships to steal from or destroy and salvage lesser adversaries. Many start out as privateers or freighter captains who just get tired of making money the slow way. Today most pirates reside in war stricken systems with radiation cover to hide their ships while they pounce on passing vessels.

Kolak:


Avg Height:2.0m
Avg Life Expectancy:unknown
Reproduction:unknown
Government:unknown
Population:unknown
Home World:unknown

Social Backround

They Kolak are a very mysterious and xenophobic race. Only ever having one documented encounter with the Kolak, very little is known about their society other than they don't wish to be disturbed. They are far more advanced than either the Morvul or the Vill. There are three main theories about Kolak origins, all linking them back to the Krull. One is that they are a sect of worker robots originally built by the Krull who managed to form their own society in their masters' absence. Another theory is that they are the Krull themselves, having continued to further cybornize themselves after the fall. Thirdly, is that they are a newly evolving race that has managed to successfully reverse engineer Krull technology. In any case it is apparent that these new entities are not a people to be triffled with.

Preditar:


Avg Height:4.0m
Avg Life Expectancy:5yrs
Reproduction:Sexual/Cloning
Government:Hive
Population:at least 42,000mil.
Home World:Preditar I,Preditar

Social Backround

The gruesome legacy of the Krull. Preditar are biologically engineered war engines. They are isolated to a select few systems with ancient Krull biolabs; they are incapable of traversing slip-stream, nor can they fly directly between systems because they rely on the photosynthetic energy of a sun. According to ancient Morvul texts, it is suggested that they were created by Krull experiments on Morvul children as a means to create a race of powerful warriors.
"...and the gods looked down on our imperfections and said. 'With our blood we shall remake you into perfection.'
So the god of creation , Ashphund, came down to our ranks and took with him one infant child from every tribe.
The Third Book of Su'kal 8:42,43
The books of Su'kal were the last documentation believed to refer to the Krull. Many historians believe the the advent of the Preditar race may have played a part in their down fall.

Krull:


Avg Height:1.0m
Avg Life Expectancy:400yrs
Reproduction:unknown
Government:Empirialistic
Population:0
Home World:Krull I, Krull

Social Backround

An ancient and long extinct race. Without their suits they looked like small heads with tentacles. They reigned over the universe for nearly three million years until their final undoing at the hands of the Preditar. Although the Vill, Centarians, and Morvul all have some historical references to this species, most current data on them has been salvaged from their numerous ruins that are clustered about the universe. Because their technology preserves so well, many of their advanced weapons and devices can be salvaged and still used; however, no one except perhaps the Kolak have been able to successfully recreate any of them.
