Nation: The Sauru'u Galatribe
Government: Patriarchy.
Placement in Sauru'u society is determined by strength of the Sauru'u. The strongest Sauru'u are the ones in charge, while the smaller must obey their commands. The highest leader and strongest Sauru'u is the Apex.
Species: Reptilian humanoids, with scale color being green, blue, or orange. They have a small curve in their spine, giving them a hunched stance. In their mouths are pointed teeth and forked tongues capable of flicking scented saliva to track prey.. The Sauru'u speech always has a hiss or growl to it, though vocalizations are capable of speaking in gruff, broken english. Their own language, on the other hand, focuses on roars and. Their eyes glow yellow with tall narrow slits, capable of night vision. Their hearing range is laughable, though close range sounds are easily picked up. In their noses are powerful scent receptors that can detect prey from miles away.
These are the main characteristics for common Sauru'u. However, selective breeding, post-space age gene splicing by humans, and interbreeding have given strong mutations in the Sauru'u gene pool, such as thick armor, motion-based sight, and multiple limbs.
Sauru'u reproduce through females laying soft, vulnerable eggs, which are then "fertilized" by Males. Upon being fertilized, the egg will grow in size, and the shell will harden to protect the embryo. After four months, the egg will hatch, spawning a new Sauru'u, though multiple hatchlings spawning from a single egg is possible.
Culture:
The Sauru'u main belief is "Evolism", that each life in the universe must evolve to survive. Those that cannot evolve are left behind in the dirt, until only the strongest species remain. Once the strongest species are all that's left, the final ecosystem for the universe will be set, in which no life will erupt or fade.
Culture of the Sauru'u focuses on fighting and hunting. Common recreational activities focus on hunting game surrounding cities, and on foreign worlds. Cannibalism is allowed, as is inbreeding.
Sauru'u do not build structures, they instead burrow into the surface of planets. For individual living space, it is a comfortable cave. For large facilities, such as hangers or vehicle depots, they dig large networks of rooms connected by tunnels. Either this, or they inhabit the ruins of conquered cities. There is no public school system, as young Sauru'u follow the teachings of their elders.
Technology:
Sauru'u have no mass production techniques. No two guns are alike. The energy source for their ships and machines is magmatic electricity, which is harvested from melting down rocks and energizing their residual remains. Sauru'u have no knowledge of farming techniques, as they are strictly carnivores with hunting and gathering methods. Food is cooked and prepared through primal methods of cooking over a fire. The Sauru'u are very resourceful in terms of food.
Medical knowledge is also primitive, though tools are advanced. On the Sauru'u world of Agani III is grown Biosap, a gel that eats bacteria and numbs pain. Eventually, it will harden, permanently covering the wound. From this they invented a special serum that can be injected, triggering advanced regeneration of cells. Biosap sale to other countries is forbidden with other civilizations.
Cybernetics are also highly used, though no mass production of parts and poor medical knowledge leads to poorly performed implantation surgeries. Sciences practiced by Sauru'u are genetic engineering & genetics, to breed stronger warriors.
Sauru'u have no domestic vehicles, as their cities are underground compounds. If a Sauru'u must travel from one world to the next, they have to go on single two-manned fighters. They lack knowledge and interest of constructing and piloting titanic vessels, making space combat their weakness.
Military:
The Sauru'u military follows it's government. The physically stronger a Sauru'u is, the higher a position it is given. Though this leads to poor strategic planning, for in the eyes of the Sauru'u, strong and intelligent are different matters. for spaceships, they refuse large and beefy carriers, instead building thousands of small fighters and light frigates to swarm their ranks.
Ground infantry are divided into battalions, called Gruuls, led by Sauru'u Alpha's. Each Alpha has full control over their Gruul, though not all of them may be qualified to lead. If a war erupts, the Apex will order certain Gruul's to the task. Should they refuse, they must engage in the Apex in single combat, usually leading to the Alpha's removal from power.
Sauru'u ground vehicles include combat cars and walkers, though they are constructed with tails to better control balance. Due to poor, shambled constructions, vehicles are hardly durable enough to survive explosions. Sauru'u commandeer abandoned vehicles, either scrapping them or learning to pilot them for their military.
However, some Sauru'u Alphas are able to defect from the Galatribe, their Gruuls surviving as "Wild Gruuls", Gruuls that serve as mercenaries, pirates, or whatever it takes to make ends meet. These can be hired by other nations for a price, or even the Apex, as a forgiveness for their betrayal.
Also, many Sauru'u Gruuls train and breed beasts of war, from massive behemoths to small scrappers. However, discipline of larger beasts is very difficult. Often, when they are unleashed into battle, enemy and Sauru'u alike suffer massive casualties.
History:
The reptilian Sauru'u originated from the harsh desert world of Azan, a world of no vegetation. It was a lizard eat lizard world.
Eventually, human settlers came, and colonized their world. They slaughtered and enslaved the Sauru'u, forcing the already struggling Sauru'u to cannibalize just to survive, while they prospered to the status of the divine. With the end of their race in sight, the Sauru'u hid way from the humans for hundreds of years, before returning once all weakness had died from the harsh conditions, allowing only the strongest to repopulate. They then waged a bloody campaign against humanity, crushing city after city, slaughtering and devouring humans enough to get fat, and using their own advanced technology against them.
Once the last city had been laid to waste, and the last human had uttered her death wail, the Sauru'u took charge. They picked up the human's technology, advancing to the other worlds in their system, driving races on those planets into extinction or critical endangerment. After that, they discovered the colonists means of entering their system; A precursor gate. With passage to the rest of the galaxy available, the Sauru'u ventured throughout the stars. The infinite universe was now their endless hunting ground.
Other: The strongest Sauru'u Apex as of now is the only one to have ever lived, a green-skinned Sauru'u by the name of Knuckerjaw. He was second in command of the strongest Sauru'u tribe prior to the human colonization, taking power once his chief was slain. He survived the years, as the leader of the rebellion's. When they took into their space age, he dominated the empire, and still survives to this day off of multiple Biosap injections and Cybernetic enhancements.
