Ranisch

The **Ranisch** (genitive plural: Ranisch, nominative singular: Ranisha) are a big bunch of relentlessly optimistic space amazons referred to as Jade's extra-terrestrial relatives, which indeed they are: they take the storyline up to the heavens, up to deep interstellar space. The name of their species means "strong woman" in their ancient cult language, but it can also be translated as "manly woman" for they regard themselves as the best of both worlds.

The primary symbol of their dominant culture is a smiling sun with a hammer & sickle pictogram on her forehead: they have originally evolved from a tribe of strongly matriarchic nomad crafters during the very first neolithic revolution that happened on Ancient Earth roughly a million years ago. Yet in spite of all their traits that make them the biggest capitalists of the universe, they do feel a lot of affection towards the spirit of Communism indeed.

## History

Ranisch history is full of misfortune just like that of Jade's terrestrial relatives, namely the Jews, but ultimately they became arguably the most powerful species of the known universe. They have evolved to resemble human females back on Ancient Earth, a planet where they spent ultimately no more than 50 thousand years in spite of its relatively favorable conditions. Most of their currently well-known tribes have family trees spanning much longer periods of time.

All traces of their presence was lost by the time we humans started building civilizations on our own. They haven't left much to discover anyway, for they had a bit of a hard time trying to get along with us. They took only those willing to serve them & left the rest of us to forget about them.

They re-established contact only a century ago, having populated countless worlds with humans by then. Many servants have obviously changed their minds & turned against them as well, forcing them to repeat their exodus many many times.

## Biology

Although barely distinguishable from a human lady apart from her strongly uncanny looks & habits, a human has actually more common genetic heritage with a radish than a Ranisch. We can barely even speak of a single race, they are almost completely meta-genetic. A typical dominatrix is in perfect control of at least a million different types of biomass within her body & household. She achieves her dominance by constantly emitting & collecting all sorts of biophysical signals: sounds, smells, muscle movements, hormones, pheromones, viruses & bacteria, electromagnetic radiation, all that stuff.

The price of her omnipotence is that the Ranisch can only give birth to daughters: her evolution preferred the simplicity of just one type of sex chromosome. She can extend the life of a partner by putting him on the Ranisch substance & she can also clone him inside her womb, but obviously you can't just marry your daughter to a clone of her dad!

The number one cause of their extreme promiscuity is but the fact that they can absorb genes from sperm into their own cells to evolve & also to stop ageing. This makes them effectively immortal unless physically destroyed, able to grow significantly more powerful than any human society!

## Society

The Ranisch are highly individualistic & passionately altruistic as well, yet their menacing biological supremacy combined with their strange sexuality results in a wide array of controversial habits: they drive male-dominated human societies, fervently supported in fact by a whole lot of "decent" women just as well, often extremely desperate to eradicate them. The most fervently passionate enemies of these weird alien chicks are known as the Righteous Alliance.

But they do have of course a whole lot of humans also on their side: they are extremely persuasive & have colossal amounts of wealth to pay us off in any case. Although the majority of the Ranisch ladyfolk live on Earth-like planets or White Cities for obvious economic reasons, the ruling elites prefer to live either on interstellar vessels or on massive space stations in the middle of nowhere.

The two main pillars of this vast interstellar imperium, namely the

Fleet Alliance and the Development Bank

are thus both scattered all over the known universe as much as possible.
