Mouch

== Physical Description ==
Mouch are small humanoid rodents which reside in Midian space. Most of the time, they try to look as upper-class as possible. As such, they often look and act very pretentious, especially considering the universe that they reside in; Mouch people look out of place compared to other races. That being said, Mouch culture has a clear hierarchy. Poorer Mouch people are looked down upon and are not able to wear the very best or stylish.

== Culture ==
During the second hyperspace war, the Mór-Ri genetic researchers were experimenting with DNA splicing and created Mouch society. However, the Mouch people's values did not align with the Mór-Ri and they rebelled. They accidentally created a very ambitious and intelligent species that was more aligned with the Midian way of life. 
However, because they are genetic creatures, they cannot breed naturally and require the help of genetic cloning / growth to reproduce. Knowing this, they were almost completely extinct several times throughout history. Due to their tenacity and pure stubbornness, they are frequently involved in warfare and espionage. They have a lot of enemies and if it wasn't for the IPU protecting them, they may have been permanently eradicated already.
