Lyzer

The Lyzer (IAUSI: LYZLSO295390003-H) are a reptillian-avian (they possess features of both) species originating from a planet called Lyz in a distant galaxy. They are technologically advanced and have evolved to the point that they depend on technology to properly move about.
==History==
On Lyz, there evolved two species, the Lyzer and the Lyzon. Both species had wings, but the wings of the Lyzer were de-evolved and useless, while the Lyzon retained the ability to fly. This offered a great tactical advantage to the Lyzon, who suppressed the Lyzer race for many centuries. During those centuries, the Lyzer tried desperately to regain what they had lost: flight. In secret, the Lyzer developed the first planes, and sparked a revolution that led to the freedom of the Lyzer people.
However, the Lyzon did not give up so easily. The two races waged a massive war, and during this war it became apparent that the Lyzer had superior intellect to the Lyzon. The Lyzon depended on primitive weapons such as javelins and scimitars, while the Lyzer improved their planes as well as other technologies. After countless years of warfare, the Lyzer emerged victorious, and as revenge for the oppression they suffered before, they murdered every single Lyzon.
After the genocide, the Lyzer continued to improve their technology, eventually becoming a spacefaring race. By the time the Lyzer encountered and joined the Hierarchy, their wings had disappeared completely, their legs were weak, and they depended on technology to travel. Because of this, each and every Lyzer was a skilled pilot. The Elders took advantage of this, and nowadays, the Lyzer are used as the pilots and drivers of the Hierarchy.
==Physiology==
The Lyzer have evolved to be humanoid. They stand at about 1.5 m tall and have long legs ending in bird-like feet. Their hand has three fingers, each ending in a long claw, which is surprisingly not sharp. The Lyzer use those claws to reach into small places and perform delicate work such as repairing machinery. They have a long, ostrich-like neck with a reptillian head.
==Society==
Most Lyzer social customs and traditions have disappeared after centuries of being part of the Kelim Hierarchy. The only thing remaining was that the Lyzer are very close to the ship, fighter, or vehicle they use, like a human captain would be with their ship. Lyzer rarely change vehicles unless the previous one was destroyed, or if dire circumstances required them to.
