Extradites

## Status

Living

The **Extradites** (Stanislavan: *Venedayte*; Oratio Ecclesiastica: *Extranei*), broadly scientifically designated as **Khomosapiyen Alter**, and pejoratively known as the **Impurebloods**, are scions of the Chelovekk. The Extradites are a wide spectrum of Humanity in the present age. The Extradites are known amongst the Chelovayyans as the **Leyudites** (Stanislavan: *Leyudanne*), which is considered as a more friendly term than Extradite. Since they are a spectrum of people rather than one homogenous people, the Extradites are often divided into several different racial categories, each with vastly differing characteristics and origins.

The Extradites are the descendants of the Chelovayyans, and were created due to the combined circumstances of the fading of the Divine Presence, the political decline of the Chelovayyan Empire, and the evolutionary circumstances brought about by the vastly differing environments across the Universe. In Imperial historiography, the first noteworthy instance of the Extradites are during the beginning of the Second Epoch. However, the vast majority of Extradites arose during the Third Epoch, and with each passing day, the population of the Extradites continuously takes up a much larger population share of Humanity.

Unlike the scion of Chelovayya, the Extradite scions do not have the same potential and abilities that the Chelovayyans have. Out of all the Chelovekk, the Extradites have the least of the preternateric abilities, but they still remain some of it, as evident by their retainment of many characteristics that Chelovayyans possess, only to a lesser degree. Each Extradite scion actually has key defining traits which makes them a force to be reckoned with on their own.

As Extradites become more and more common, the Chelovayyan Empire has begun eyeing to bring back the Extradite Realms into their fold. This policy has been met with much glee, as many are eager to be incorporated into the Empire, and given the recognition they deserve. However, this policy has also been opposed by many Extradite factions, which seek to maintain their independence and autonomy from the Empire.

## Nomenclature

The term Extradite is not actually considered a racial classification in it of itself, but actually a political classification. It arose from the Ecclesiastic phrase, "Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus", and since the Extradites are often characterized as peoples 'outside the Empire', and thus 'outside the Faith', they have been referred to as "Extradites", meaning Outsiders. However, the term has begun to fall out of usage due to the fact that many Extradites are actually of the faith, and some even serve the Empire at times. As such, the term "Leyudite" has begun to see common usage, for those seeking a more conciliatory approach to mend Chelovayyan-Extradite relations overall.

The term "Leyudite", as with the term "Chelovayyan", was actually adopted from Slavanene Mythology, an amalgamation of the Dharmaic faiths, Nordenn mythology, Hellenian mythology, and several old Slavic mythologies. In Slavanene mythology, the "Leyudanne" were actually the mortal sons and daughters of the primordial Slavan Gods, the God Velyes and the Goddess Devyana. These children would tend to the Earth, and all its wild animals and forests. Unlike the Chelovayyans, the children of Peryun and Dodolya who were given dominion over the Sky and the Highlands, the Leyudanne, were given dominion over the Lowlands and the Underground.

During the Third Epoch, the term "Leyudite" was adopted as a cross between Leyudanne and Extradite. As of the present day, it is the most common term to refer to non-Chelovayyans.

## Scions

The Extradites are divided into several different categories known as Scions. The Extradites are not to be treated as a monolithic group, but as a collection of several different groups which are distinct from each other.

### **Korsars**

*See also: Corsairs*

The **Corsairs** (Stanislavan: *Korsars*; Corsair Standard: *Khorsers*; Shangyeyongyu: *Hǎidàochuán*), colloquially known as the **Sea Wolfs** (Corsair Standard: *Lhobo Sadaggath*; Shangyeyongyu: *Hǎi Láng)*, and as the **Triads** (Corsair Standard: *Athlosa*; Shangyeyongyu: *Sanhéhuì*) are an Extradite Human faction that dwell on the outskirts of the Empire. The Corsairs have a reputation of being mercenaries, traders, merchants, pirates, slavers, and even assassins across the Milky Way Galaxy. The Corsairs are predominantly found in the Norma Arm, although they are spread across thousands of star systems either working for a larger faction or working independently.

The term 'Corsairs' was originally used to refer to self-reliant spacefaring bands of nomads that operated in the former territory of the Chelovayyan Imperial Autonomy of the Norma Arm that arose a few centuries after the Marring of Norma by Matriarch Nihline. By the Third Epoch, the term was expanded to refer to both the territories and the peoples living under de facto Corsair rule. As such, the Corsairs are regarded as a faction of their own, and are considered overall to be a sub-faction of the Domain of Humanity.

Due to their vastly differing physiology and anatomy from the Chelovayyans, the Corsairs have been considered as a new race of humans. They have been scientifically designated as **Khomosapiyen Vir**, due to their stature and build resembling that of ancient humans. Similar to other realms of the Domain of Humanity, the Corsairs maintain a high presence of Nezemenites, most commonly of which are the Foederati and the Svoboda Ksenos, which the Galactic Federation refers to as the Khogkhogs, although that term includes Humans as well.

### **Skarbniks**

*See also: Skarbniks*

The **Skarbniks** (Stanislavan: "Treasurer"; Oratio Ecclesiastica: *Homines Brevis*; Skarben: *Edari*), scientifically designated as **Khomosapiyen Brevis**, are a scion of the Chelovekk. The Skarbniks are an Extradite race of people who are most notable for originating from heavy-gravity worlds, hence their shorter stature but higher muscle density. Due to their height or lack thereof, they have been pejoratively referred to as the **Stunts**.

Aside from their short but brawny physiology, the Skarbniks are notoriously known for their affinity of wealth, especially in the form of mineral resources. The Skarbniks have been known to dwell in mines, underground workings, and even the cores of many planets and other such cosmic objects. As such, the Skarbniks have been given the nickname **Core-dwellers**, a title which the Skarbniks themselves have embraced with pride. The Skarbniks also tend to base their social structure on control over resource extraction industries. Some have proposed that the Skarbniks are an entirely different species, but most consider themselves to be a sub-faction of the Domain of Humanity. The Skarbniks do not have much relations with Nezemenites, but when they do, they are usually those species of kseno which shares the same affinity for wealth.

The Skarbniks place lots of emphasis on royalty, as they have lines of monarchs known as the Skarbnarch. The Skarbnarch is the title of the King of one of the many Skarben-realms. A Skarbnarch who is highly respected, even amongst other Skarbnarch, are called Magh-Skarbnarch, which translates to 'Supreme King' or 'High King'. To disrespect the Skarbnarch, is to disrespect his entire Skarben-realm.

As of the 10th Millennium of the Third Epoch, the most powerful Skarben-realm is the Kingdom of Vatumi, located in the Scutum-Centaurus Arm. Vatumi is led by the strongest and most wealthy Magh-Skarbnarch, Tamaz X, and his dynastic heir, Tamazhvele. The Kingdom of Vatumi appears to be the main representative of all Skarb-kin to the Chelovayyan Empire, though other Kingdoms exist in distant regions of space across the Milky Way Galaxy.
