Arvacc

Planet type.. A roughly 50% split of water and land, deep oceans rivers and lakes.

The Land is a mix of heavily forested areas,  mountainous regions and some large flat open spaces.

There is 1 large island, approximately, 2 million square miles and houses the origins of the Arvcc species, The lsland is also forbidden to, the penalty for going there is death.

It was once the main city of the long dead and now unknown species of people who geneticly created the Arvacc to mine Haracc Jems from the bottom of the oceans that are created by a giant mollusc type creature.

That long dead race where wiped out by global pandemic that the race now known as the Arvecc where immune to, not having any rights of any kind at this point, had to create their own rules and regulations on what by live by, as time progressed their former masters became a memory passed down from generation to generation some information about them lost, some new information made up about them, they became legends to a new breed of Avecc and then inturn became Gods to be worshipped.

There where several plausible theories on how their masters died, but only 2 that were real possibilities, 1 of those was the masters for greedy in their desire to expand and as their cities grew, the forests shrank and the seas got over harvested, disease spread because there was not enough nutritional food or medicine to cure it and they all died, the other theory was the masters did expand and over harvest everything, but with all their wealth they went out to the known Galaxy and aquired animals, fish, trees and plants to help repopulate the planets dwindling resources, but in doing so brought in a bacteria they had no defence against and wiped them all out.

Being a slave race and genetically enhanced the Arvacc where immune and became the masters ofvthe planet, but they had no name for their people, so they took the name of the planet so they had something to call themselves.

They are non force sensitive and in recorded history there has never been a force sensitive Arvacc.

The populas are located in 100's of villages, each village consists of no more than 1000 people, as the population of each rises they spit to form 2 new villages each with an equal amount of people from each social class.

With so few people in each village, the wildlife, flaura and fauna have thrived, with the planet having a temperate climate, the Avacc species decided to live as a very primative species, in trees, wood and clay huts as their ancestors did, they have the technology to live as the rest of the galaxy does, but only use that tech for their ships and medical needs.

The seas are teaming with life also, all manner of fish and creatures, plants of all shapes and sizes, some of the Avecc choose to live on underwater villages as they can stay underwater indefinitely if they need to, but they do need to spend time on land to keep their lungs active, and the same as the land dwellers with their gills.

Their diet consists of meat, fish, vegetables that they hunt or grow themselves in their small colonies, and they trade with each other on a regular basis.

They also have the ability to create medicines form the technology they acquired from their old masters, they have stores of Bacta and other medicines in stasis in each village for serious emergencies of outsiders/visitors but they prefer to use the natural resources of the planet, to heal their wounds as they taught themselves before their masters died off.

They do however have the ability to regenerate most of their body parts, except their brain, but everytime they do it it reduces the longevity of their life... a failsafe put in their genetic code by their former masters that they are unable to remove. They do on occasions, use medicines themselves if the regeneration process would take to long and they'd suffer from it.

The people are long lived race who can live upto 300 standard years old and are an a age based hierarchy

0-12.... Child

13-25... Student of arts

26-50... Worker

51-100... Teacher

101- 150.. Elder/Master

151 - 200.. Tribal Council member

There is no Government or higher order to rule, each Village has its Tribal Council, that make its own rules to the benifit of the village, so they will vary from tribe to tribe.

1 out of every 10 males is draughted into the military, they must do a minimum of 10 years srervice. Its a precautionary force that, although space faring, rarely moves any further than their own planetary system.

As their ships are all short range. The largest of which is a 100 man Frigate that serves as their flagship, its also the only non equatic ship they have, all other vessels are mainly small crusers and freighters, and 2 person fighters. They are all hyperdrive equipped but rarely used, all the other ships are able to operate in space, in atmosphere and under water to some degree.

Because of the lack of contact with outsiders, there is no army, as they have no fear of invasion. Only the forementioned meagre planetary defense force, that patrols well inside their borders to keep order.

The navy is really no more than a militia, as no one was there to teach them the art of War, so they learned from holos and what traders have told them, their military ranking system is as follows:

Jadeé.... CPL

Saltrii.... Sgt

Doshyar.... Lieutenant

Hajat.... Captain

Herat...... Major

Pash..... Colonel

Fay Lesh .... Commander

Kilp fár.... General

(Bortai.... Sir)
