Reajura

The Reajura (RAY-uh-JURR-uh) are a peculiar, long-lived, vaguely-leporoid (rabbit-like) species found on Lartalas.
Reajura have no known world of origin - they simply exist in galactic society. Their surrogate homeworld is Lartalas, which is where the largest population of them can be found. Their original home has been lost to history, though it is speculated that it was destroyed in a cataclysmic event.
== Description ==
Reajura bear vague semblance to Cruxes in basic form, though they are much shorter (no taller than 5'2"), their muzzles are shorter, and their bodies are thicker. They have medium-to-short cup-like ears; a face that resembles a cross between a badger and a dog; strong legs; digitigrade feet; a long, curly tail; and a set of sharp, strong antlers on their heads. Their hands and feet are large and possess sharp claws. Their fur and eye colorations and patterns vary widely, though they usually have blue fur with white irises, black with blue irises, or dull-green with orange irises. They are weak and rather vulnerable without weaponry (which they carry often), as they are poor fighters. Despite the fact that they carry weapons, they prefer flight over fight.
== Biology ==
Reajura possess many strange organs, many of which serve multiple purposes. Their organs are regenerative and adaptive; cutting out a Reajura's heart will not kill them - the nearby organs will quickly take over the work while the removed organ regrows. They can, however, bleed to death if an injury is large enough, and they bruise easily. The species as a whole has a fairly low pain tolerance and often die of shock rather quickly if tortured or having sustained a severe injury. Their average lifespan is an astonishing 1,450 years.
== Technology ==
As a result of their vulnerability, their society possesses very advanced safety and defense technology - some of the best known to exist. Reajuran starships have almost absurd defense features, such as very powerful redundant shield systems, strong armor, deflective gravity projectors, high-end inertial dampeners, and even airbags. Conversely, their firepower is lacking.
== Society ==
Reajura are mild-mannered and timid. Individuals are commonly found performing low-social-interaction jobs such as warehouse-stocking, freight-loading, long-distance shipping, and sanitation, though the more adventurous ones often become entrepreneurs. Reajuran first names commonly end with -au or -ier, and surnames with -ym, -am, or -na.
