Goed Frog-People

The Goed Frog-People were a race of frog people from the planet Frog-Lantis who were genocided into extinction during the Cosmic Civil War, itself a smaller conflict of The Intergalactic Jilm War. A widely beloved race who had participated in the great cosmic experiment for centuries, their loss was widely mourned.
The last known frog person, Yorub, was revived from the dead using cybernetic technology and would go on to fight brutally for the Cosmic Alliance.
== Society ==
Goed society was highly communal, likely derived from the way all Goed-Frog People had the same few spawning regions, known as the Great Ponds. Here they would be laid as eggs and grow into tadpoles, being taught the ancient ways as they grew by the Shepherds of the Ponds. While the communal laying encouraged cooperation, so few good spawning regions meant there was fierce competition for breeding space, and as such Goed society was highly martial and valued having the strength to defend your pond to the death, and even beyond that. The war for the ponds was believed to carry on into the afterlife, with all Goed souls needing to prove their worthiness of entry by securing a pond for themselves and their decedents. It was said these ponds needed to be viciously defended to keep your decedent's souls from being erased, and as such living Goeds took great pains to provide their ancestors with all the finest tools of war in great rituals and tombs. Ritual suicide for the good of the Pond was also ingrained into Goed society, with great numbers of elders often ending their lives in times of crisis so the tadpoles could grow strong. These cultural aspects are well shown in the most famous work of Goed poetry, the "Romance of the Ponds".
Despite ostensibly being a united world government in actuality things were far more regional, with the pond-clans still waging wars against each other even after their inclusion into the Cosmic Alliance. This infighting was a major factor in their loss against the Newtzis. A Goed families' spear was a treasured heirloom, often passed down dozens if not hundreds of generations. Oftentimes a family was harshly judged on the age of their spear, with the age and succession of ownership far outweighing the value of whatever its building material was. Ruling clans would often pay exorbitant fees and spread massive propaganda campaigns proclaiming the age of their family spears, no matter what the age actually was. This proved to be a vicious game of slander amongst clans; wars were started over Spear-Slander. Large banquets would often be held, with Goed's sitting around the firefly jars telling the long stories of their family spears.
