Umur Miscreants

Imagine a billion minds working on something in sync, is that not why the Umur government makes all its decisions as "one single, schizophrenic cacophony"? - Prof. Nolanus D. Bustamante, Political Theorist and Deputy Secretary-General
The Umur Miscreants or The Umur Collective, are an post-human hiver warrior culture of cyborgs. The Umur arose out of the many Generation Ships that left the dying Earth. While the origins of the Umur are still somewahtnebulous, their creation can be traced back to the teachings of Russian philosopher Umur Bahamontes. The Collective of Umur prioritize an constant "evolutionary strugggle" and the seizure of any resources they required and go to extreme lengths to guarantee their survival. The Umar are openly dedicated to the idea of transcending human limitations through technology. 
The Origins of the Umur are theorized to have initially emerged in the desolate wastelands of the Middle-East, North Africa and the Indian Subcontient, as the culmination of desperate attempts by scientists to survive the famines and polluted environment. According to digital records, the Umur were forced off-Earth by sending Umur Bahamontes III and his followers aboard one of the Arab Generation Ships. The Umur were believed to have somehow reached their current homeworld in Orion's Shoulder (Free Space) and began building a civilization. The Umur seem to prefer uninhabitle worlds instead of Garden Worlds. 
Due to the extremist post-human mindset of the Umar and the Demands of Umur teachings of constant struggle, the Umur often raid the UCSS and Free Human Worlds for resources and manpower. The hostile natrue of the Umur has caused numueros conflicts between the warrior culture and the UCSS. The Umur Collective had a habit of attacking the UCSS when secessionist activity is high, spreading a belief of a supposed alliance between the two. Thr Umur Collective conquered quickly half of the galaxy, spreading a nietzschean struggle admist the conquered to ascend the ranks to become Umur.
The Umuar are characterized by a post-human appearance, mindset, and organization - those who choose to join are radically surgically and nanotoechnologically augmented to an unprecedented degree. The ultimate modification is the replacement of frontal lobes by a cortical interface, that completely assimilates the subject into the collective mind, also called the Umur Implant. A Umur Implant can be removed if its host is captured by non-Umur, but even in this case there will be a long recovery period, and the person who emerges in the end will probably not be the same person who first had the implant installed. The Removal process is very violent and many do not survive it. 
The Umuar are believed by some (and themselves) to be the next step in human evolution, humanity's successors, if not replacement. The Umur have little regard for the cowardly and mercantile Earthers and the boisterous and "brow-beating" Cythero-Martians. 
The Umur have tamed environments, currently considered even uninhabitable by the most grasping of Terran big cats. The Umur plan is to adapt to every climate and biohazard and become the ulitmate lifeform, avoing any future Great Filters.
The entry of The Umur into galatic consciousness began with the abductions of human pioneers to integrate them into the Umur Collective, leading to a eventual discovery by the UCSS. Due to the experiences of Earth with the Starseed a millenia ago, there was little fondness between the two groups. The Umur adopted an extremely isolationist attitude, any spacecraft that ventured into their space are immediately attacked and destroyed.
While usually considered unapprochable and incapable of diplomacy, the technological advanced Umur have somehow established a galatic black market for high-tech and weapons. The Umur are vaguely masculine looking more-machine-than-man, the Umur do not belief in gender or reproductive drives and reproduce via womb-factories. Some perverted humans find the Umur attractive and fictional stories of a strong handsome umur manbot kidnapping a prospective romance partner are sold as romance novels. The Umur are extremely feared by most humans however. The UCSS draws on generational depictions of "The Other" to demonize the Umur, as the Umur Collective can be used to draw parallels to Cythero-Martians, Magi, Robots, Communists, Collectivists, Fundamentalists and other "Feindbilder" of the hyperinduvalistic coporate-feudal society of the UCSS.
