Orien

The Orien are a race of humanoid, short haired mammalians that heil from Karsh'a.

## Orien Biology

The Orien are typically quite tall, standing around 6'0 at average. They have a slight elven tip to their ears, and unique eyelids which blink from left to right rather than up to down. The Orien also possess a uniquely shaped brain, nearly perfectly melding into the shape of their odd skull. They do have hair, despite the way they appear. Their entire body is coated in an short and bristly layer of greenish hair, which gives them a very odd furry texture to their skin despite their appearance leading one to believe they're tough as well as greasy.

The Orien are typically more on the lean side, relying more on nano-tech to enhance their strength, but more on that later on. The Orien have needle-like teeth, and are quite predatory, often making growling sounds at one another as well as all other races. They're excellent fighters, but typically don't like to get their hands dirty, rather be the puppet masters from behind the scenes.

Another unique trait is their incredibly long lifespan, though naturally around 1,000 years it was extended further by nanite injections, extending the politicians' lifespans to around 10 thousand years of age before death. They also use it to give them enhanced strength, speed, stamina and endurance. Their genetic technology is close to being on the same level as the Neraavian's or Sixamian's.

## Orien History

The Orien heil from planet Karsh'a in the Karramonik system of the Orii Cluster. It is on the bordering edge of the Orii Cluster and deep space between star clusters, which is the seat of their now rather small Empire. But let's back up a bit to their early history, which consisted of mostly anarchical societies without much ideas on moral rights and wrongs. They believed for much of their early technological stages that nature could sort out itself, that there was no need to form governments as that'd only inhibit nature's work on their race as a whole.

Until they entered the nuclear age, there was little to no government. However, people were growing tired of having their houses ransacked and their families sold into slavery, so Lord Welkmio Joxti proposed uniting some of the most brilliant Orien into The Council of Karsh'a to decide what exactly was to do, due to him proposing it he was elected as Lord of Orien, with the council's authority acting shortly beneath his own. The Orien further advanced, and went on to colonize their entire home system, still without FTL technology they began construction of a robotic servant race known as the Krux'Han. The Krux'Han served them for a few years, before they finally made a breakthrough on FTL travel.

The Krux'Han were then decided to be enlisted in the Orien navy, which went on to make 20 total fleets within the span of a century. They conquered several systems, executing any and all inhabitants they found in their path, before on the planet of Krux'Han, the first Krux'Han known as Savior gained sentience. The sentience spread like wildfire as the Orien ordered the execution of all of the Krux'Han on Karsh'a as well as construction to halt, and as they began their Krux'Han genocide the Krux'Han and Kadravi forces arrived, and utterly decimated their navy. Their Empire collapsed, most of their systems freed of their control much to the dismay of the Council. The Orien populous was furiouss with Lord Joxti, and he was toppled from power as the Council stabbed him in the back, quite literally in fact.

The Krux'Han left, as the Orien put his daughter, Welkmio Lexrita in charge in his place. She is currently working on rebuilding their navy, and planning an invasion against the rest of the cluster, one that's a few years off of course.
