**Special Adaptations:** The Tam'iar are the evolutionary descendants of the Tam'ians, feathered flying cats native to Tamadilar. They retained some of the traits of their ancestors. They are very agile and have acute seeing, smelling and hearing, far superior to that of an Earthman. The talons on their hands and their teeth have softened with time, but are still there. Their hair is in fact long hardened feathers, and their narrow bones give them a weightless quality.

**History:**

The Tam'iar race has always been prudent in nature, so their rarely intervened in galactic affairs, trying to make good ties with their neighbors. Centuries after centuries, they rallied more and more planets in the Vega system, daring not venturing too far in the Universe. 1 million years ago, this conglomerate of different cultures was menaced by Ego the Orange Planet who was also an inhabitant of the Vega system. The conflict was stopped by the Ta’miar federation and the Green Totem Corps, but at the cost of a lot of lives and blood and sweat. Not long after, the Ta’miar defended entry to their galaxy to the Green Totem corps, being the only space sector in the Universe unprotected. To address this problem, they created the Imperial Legion, a team of heroes from all over the federation who were in charge of policing the Vega galaxy and serving has bodyguards to the queen. Since then, the Federation has taken a more active interest in the politics outside of the Vega system. They have helped the X-Gods of New Genosha against the forces of Apokolypse have fought in the Kreenagari/Mongrul/Xann war. Tamadilar was greatly ravaged by the Techno Guild just recently. Also one of the planets of the federation was destroyed by Black Eve, a mutant from Earth.  These events came has a shock to the Ta’miar, who thought they were out of reach. As such, the control of the central government on the planets of the federation has hardened, creating discontent and unrest.

Today, although the Queen is still popular with the people, the elites and even the royal family are getting wary of his power. A coup d’état lurks in the horizon. The fact that the Federation publicly abide and help mutants across the Universe is not helping matters. By chance, the Imperial Legion is still loyal to the Queen, keeping a stable, yet fragile peace.
