Visarian

"The Visarians - a once proud race who's might could be felt across the galaxy. Much of their influence can still be felt today, even in their absence as a united peoples. Now the only Visarians you see are the ones struggling to survive..." - Frausk on the Visarians.Visarians are a humanoid species which originated from the planet Visaria. They were widely revered across the Milky Way, and once held a vast empire which was left unrivaled for some time. Currently, they are scattered across the galaxy as a result of the fall of the Visarian Empire and the attempted genocide of their peoples by the Alliance.
== Anatomy ==
When compared to the body of a Human being, Visarian anatomy is not much different. They retain the basic muscular and skeletal structure, and their organs are more or less the same. A notable difference would be the strength and durability of their lungs. Visarian lungs have developed to adapt to their worlds harsh atmosphere and can process gasses toxic to Humans. They also have much stronger bones and more durable muscles and are considerably much stronger than the average human. Due to years of being bred for war, they have evolved to not feel too much pain when damaged. There are even Visarians who gain a "high" when damaged, which can last for hours depending on the severity of the damage done. Visarians are also noted for having luminous eyes which allow them to see in the dark.
== Society ==
Every part of Visarian society and culture heavily valued power, wealth, and dominance. They mastered interplanetary travel at an extraordinarily quick pace and made magnificent cities on what would otherwise be considered a toxic world, while also developing one of the greatest armies the galaxy has ever seen, and made fast work of enemy planets by utilizing blitzkrieg tactics. The powerful were held in high regard, and the weak were left to rot. Physically disabled Visarians were immediately discarded upon birth, and those who were able were enlisted into the military as early as fifteen years old. Visarians pioneered war tactics and war machines, and had some of the best engineers in the known galaxy.
Modern Visarians still value these attributes but have grown considerably more strict as their survival as a people demands it. They've grown into nomadic tribes after the fall of their precious empire, and go where they feel they must go. Some have regrouped and formed large factions (The Visarian Syndicate) but like the Syndicate, these have mostly failed. 
== Military ==
The Visarian military was widely feared across the galaxy for it's destructive naval capabilities, inventive war machines, and aggressive troops. They were flexible and able to change tactics to meet demands made on the battlefield, while also having enough numbers to back up any daring assault they made. Currently, they have no real military, but many veterans are still alive today.
== Innate Abilities ==
Enhanced Mental and Physical Attributes - Compared to Humans, Visarians are much stronger and have much quicker reflexes. It is said one Visarian marine could hold his own against ten Alliance soldiers in close quarters combat. They are also able to learn and process new information much quicker than most other species.
Night Vision - Visarians can naturally see in the dark, thus allowing them to work in near total darkness without any assistance.
