Crosan

Crosans is the collective-term for a species of humanoid beings from a trinary star system designated Home Star System, the location of their homeworld Crose. Crosans is a demonym for these humanoids but the planet is home to as many as seventeen major nation-states, though the largest of which is the most powerful nation-state in the Milky Way Galaxy.

In ufology, Crosans are closest to the purported Nordic aliens.

## Overview

Crosans are a bipedal species that resemble humans from Earth. There are very few differences between Crosan humans and Earth humans. Crosans possess improved eyesight over Earth humans. They also tend to be thinner and leaner than Earth humans, almost athletic, and taller.

However, Crosans have a shorter lifespan than Earth humans due to having a slightly higher metabolism brought on by living in the colder environments of the planet. Crosans are typically expected to live roughly 90 years at most, though many Crosans struggle to live past the age of 75. The First Quarter covers the formative years of a young Crosan, typically from birth to age 25. The Second Quarter covers the adult years of a Crosan, typically from age 25 to 50. The Third Quarter covers the elder years of a Crosan, typically age 50 to 75. The occurrence of Crosans past 75 is exceedingly rare, this period is referred to the Fourth Quarter, members of this group are considered important community elders and typically serve as managers of local council meetings. Crosans of all nations are taught from a young age to create lives that invest in future generations as it is necessary to "plant apple trees that you will never see bloom in your skies."

Crosan languages descend from a global mother language. The Casaan Archonate's national language is a daughter language descended from the original proto-language of Crose. At first glance, the script appears to have a lineage that resembles old runic written languages of Scandinavia while the spoken language sounds similar to modern Nordic languages like Swedish or Finnish.

## Genetics

Earth humans and Crose humans are genetically compatible and capable of interbreeding. The ancient humans of the Old Empire visited Earth roughly two million years ago and transplanted several members from Earth to Crose where it appears ancient Old Empire humans mated with Earth humans to create Crose humans. There is ample evidence to support the idea that the Old Empire traveled to Earth in waves over thousands of years before abruptly disappearing about ten thousand years ago. Like Earth, Crose humans tend to be multiracial (in terms of high diversity of skin tones) but unlike Earth humans, they appear to lack any form of racial discrimination. This is possibly due to the fact that aliens introduced into their society have reoriented their targets of racial discrimination.

Crose is a colder world than Earth. Thus, Crose humans have a higher tolerance for cold than Earth humans. Crose humans are more streamlined than Earth humans, as they tend to lack appendices, spleens, and sometimes pinky toes/fingers. Most Crosans have the same number of toes and fingers as Earth humans, however, it is becoming increasingly more common to encounter Crosans with eight fingers and eight toes.

## History

Without any belligerent neighbors or planetary issues to hinder them, the Crosan humans of the planet Crose thrived and settled a majority of the Milky Way Galaxy utilizing the remnants of the Old Empire's wormhole network. The Casaan Archonate has become not only the single most prominent nation on its planet but one of the most prominent in the galaxy, if not the universe. The Casaan Archonate have created strong alliances with many nations of the planet Earth, including the United States and many European countries. The Casaan Archonate has drawn criticism from many holdout nations over its imperialistic attitudes and totalitarian government. The Casaan are known for subjugating several near-sapient aliens in their time exploring the galaxy. The Casaan have the largest fleets of starships in the known galaxy. They are also known to posses several backwater colonies on the fringes of their controlled space. Some Crosans are not human and are members of other species that were uplifted by the Casaan Archonate that are now subjugated by them.
