Solean
Solean:
Origin: The Solean species is a rynchocephalian reptile originating from the planet Solea, located on the galactic edge.
Historical Isolation: Solea, untouched by the wars of other empires, allowed Soleans to develop and spread peacefully. They became merchants and tradespeople, conducting business on various worlds, including Elravia.
Past Strife: Soleans have a history of internal strife and feudal warlords. Tired of the chaos, they left their home world in large numbers. The remnants of their troubled past are preserved in folklore and song.
Plasma Technology: A hallmark of the Soleans is their expertise in plasma technology, notably seen in their cutting torches. This technological prowess makes them valuable in various roles within armies and merchant fleets across the galaxy.
Physiology: Soleans have reptilian physiology, but advanced homeostatic systems distinguish them from their cold-blooded relatives. Cranial morphology varies, featuring head spikes, serrated fins, and smoother ridges.
Soleans are a rynchocephalian reptile species, first appearing on the planet Solea. Solea is a far-flung world on the galactic edge. Left unmolested by the wars and conquests of other empires, the Solean species was able to develop and spread, appearing on countless worlds as merchants and tradespeople. Records exist of Soleans conducting business on Elravia as far back as 1001 EAO. Their history was not always so benign: internal strife and feudal warlords were once common. As Soleans grew tired of the chaos, they left their home world in droves. What was left burnt itself out centuries ago, although these dark times are still remembered in folklore and song. Plasma technology is a Solean hallmark, particularly well-known in Solean-crafted cutting torches. With colonists spread across the galaxy, Soleans can be found as part of armies and merchant fleets aligned with a variety of factions. *** Solean physiology is reptilian, although they have long-since evolved homeostatic systems far more advanced than their cold-blooded distant relatives. Cranial morphology can vary amongst Soleans: head spikes, serrated fins, and smoother ridges are all found in abundance.
