This is true. What I was basically trying to get across about the Yuan-ti is that they are very powerful but don't really act much and other races actually fear them.
I see what you're saying...MUST FIX! Ummm...This is a lot harder than I originally thought it would be...Wait! I think I have the explanation! Maybe...Anyway, the civilization in question had attempted to invade and conquer a lot of the more powerful empires as well as some weaker ones before the assassination and was severely weakened by the time the Yuan-ti started the war. Let's also say they weren't completely wiped out but came very close through stealthy Yuan-ti operations that no one else in the war was aware of.
Hmmm...How about this: The cargo ship was carrying the Crown Prince and it was an assassination not some random attack so they got about ten other governments on their side somehow. They are a little overpowered but like I said, they don't want to conquer and they only fight those who have provoked them. Better?
Ooh well, that's always fun! Do you want me to make a CS for my character?

Alrighty then. Alien species coming up!
Name: Yuan-ti (Because I love the D&D name too much, tee hee)
Appearance: Almost completely serpent with two arms and standing around 7 or 8 feet tall. Scale colors range from green to black, sometimes red, and their faces are slightly humanoid but still very snake-like (unblinking eyes, forked tongue, fangs). Most Yuan-ti are not venomous but one subspecies, the Yeshnaks, are highly venomous and are more physically enhanced than other Yuan-ti.
Government: The Yuan-ti are ruled by a monarchy from a royal family line that has been unbroken for almost two thousand years. This line is the line of Yantar, the same name as their home planet, and are entirely Yeshnaks, having used their venom and increased strength to stay in control. Most laws boil down to "Don't cross the Royal Family or die." There are no prisons, all crimes are punished by immediate execution no matter the severity and as such, the crime rate is considerably low. When a child of the Royal family reaches 3 years old, they are immediately taught the arts of assassination, stealth, and all forms of combat, making them formidable rulers and often executioners. When dealing with other races, the Yuan-ti rulers have the appearance of kindness and courtesy but everything they do is for their own gain. Rulers of the Yuan-ti have been renowned as having silver tongues and honeyed words that let them manipulate almost all other species and governments, if they wish. Empires have been puppets of the Yuan-ti or destroyed by enemies driven by Yuan-ti words. When confronted the Yuan-ti will make the appearance of giving in before they strike with deadly and almost unstoppable force. But unlike other governments, the Yuan-ti do not wish to conquer or enslave due to their total disdain for other races, even if they were slaves, and have remained a powerful force in the galaxy/universe but have not assumed total control.
History: For centuries, the Yuan-ti were constantly at war with each other, leading to stunted technological growth until the Yeshnaks, lead by the first Yantar, gathered an army so powerful they nearly wiped all the other Yuan-ti out of existence. But instead of destroying them, Hesstash Yantar decided to bring them under his rule and unite the Yuan-ti. After a century of rebuilding and mistrust, the Yuan-ti finally accepted each other and their new rulers, bringing and unheard of era of peace to the newly named planet of Yantar. After that the planet exploded with technological advancements and new ideas, reaching out into the stars a matter of centuries after they were united. Their first contact with alien species did not go well, it started the first interplanetary war the Yuan-ti had ever conceived of. After decades of bloodshed and ruthless violence, the Yuan-ti were victorious and Maktas Yantar decided that the price was too high and other races too foul to continue conquering the galaxy. Thus, the Yuan-ti helped rebuild the civilization they nearly destroyed and took the stance of diplomacy with all other aliens they encountered, using their intelligence and deceptive charm to make a place for themselves among the most powerful governments. For the first few centuries of interplanetary contact, the Yuan-ti went unchallenged but when a royal convoy carrying the Crown Prince was attacked by another species, they retaliated swiftly, fiercely, and decisively, bringing other governments into the war on their side and eliminating the propaganda of their attackers, effectively cutting the enemy army in half and decreasing the quality of soldiers. The Yuan-ti soldiers fought with cunning and struck every weak point, crippling their enemies food supplies and the moral of the population to force them to surrender within a few years Ever since then they have been feared and respected by all, and Yuan-ti mercenaries are the most valuable to any government or organization.

This is true.
It's really hard to portray sarcasm in a text based format
Okay.
Name: Koshraa Elcanor
Race: Drow (Or some other kind of Dark Elf if you're allowing it)
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Bio: Koshraa has never been one to follow the crowd, even from a young age she was often found doing whatever she wanted to do at the time. As she got older she became more cautious and managed to avoid the police forces. When she was a teenager she discovered her innate magical talent and went to an old drow priestess to hone her abilities. She specializes in creating flashes of light as distractions and other illusions. As soon as she came of age she left her clan and lived on her own, being very careful never to come in contact with any of her family. She has hated orcs as long as she can remember but she isn't sure exactly why, although she doesn't care as long as she gets to knock some heads together. Her basic philosophy is "I'm going to do what I want, when I want, screw the consequences."
Special Weapons: She carries two throwing knives and an intricately carved dagger.
Spells: Fireball, Flash (Flashes of light for distraction), Illusion (The more she focuses the more complex the illusion), Grease (Conjures a small patch of slick oil on the floor), and Magic Missile (Balls of energy that she can aim at people)
(Yeah, horrible renditions of D&D spells, but eh, I think it works. She mainly focuses on melee in battle and only uses her spells to get away. I hope this works.)
