Graadese

## Graadese Biology

Little data has been collected about the Graadese, all data on their biology has been taken by Atlas Medical Staff on refugees or potential citizens that had found their way to the station.

The Graadese are humanoid, pink-skinned, yellow-eyed, green-haired aliens that heil from Mistri-Graa. The Graadese have 5 fingers, 5 toes, 2 arms and 2 legs, the average for the cluster. However, unlike most they have a robust cellular regenerative system which means they age slower than other races, and heal at a faster rate. They're incredibly long-lived by most species' standards, being able to live for 1500 years or more. They adapt incredibly well, too.

If a Graadese is shot, over time their skin will grow thicker. If they get exhausted easily, their bodies will gradually rid itself of fat or water weight to allow the Graadese to be more agile if they're on the run.

Several notable bones in other species are actually cartilage formations in the Graadese, which may aid them in their flexibility.

## Graadese History

Graadese history begins around 70,000 years ago on the planet of Mistri-Graa, when they began to build societies, though they've existed for around 110,000 years. They evolved on a planet ripe with predatory life, forcing them to adapt to being superior at fleeing, combat and agility. They're incredibly flexible, several notable seemingly bones are comprised of cartilage rather than bone allowing for more agile movement. They still died in mass due to predators, nonetheless. When they first began to use guns, the death rates slowed down as they built more solid nations based on democracy and unity.

Within a century of inventing guns, Mitri-Graa had split up once again. Instead of death by predator, the new highest death toll was death by gunshot as they executed each other for the extremely limited resources on the now dying planet of Mitri-Graa. They'd kill each other for a small mug of water, or a crumb of bread. Every resource counted to them as anarchy ensued on their homeworld, and governments collapsed. As the environment gradually healed itself, and more resources became available order was gradually restored over the course of several hundred years until finally there were stable countries once again.

It remained this way until 32 years ago, when the Orien fleets arrived. They executed the Graadese in mass, in what is known as the Mitri-Graa Massacre. They annihilated what comprised their then miniscule fleet, and military forces. They forced the Graadese into submission, suppressed their cultures and replaced them with their own. They enslaved half of the population and sentenced the other half to be puppets for the Orien Empire. Now, Mitri-Graa is as unstable as ever, back to where it was all those years ago. Innocents die in the streets as The Graadese Resistance and the Orien fight with little care for collateral damage.

## Mitri-Graa Massacre

When the Orien arrived, they bombarded the nations' capitols with kinetic impacts, and began to land troops all throughout large city hubs on Mitri-Graa. They lined up rows upon rows of innocent Graadese, and executed all of them as others tried to flee from the cities, all failing. The total death tole of the Mitri-Graa Massacre was nearly 4 billion Graadese Lives.

## The Graadese Resistance

The Graadese Resistance comprises 1 billion globally spread Graadese insurgents who want to free Mitri-Graa from it's alien captors. They're extremely xenophobic, despise the Allies and have little care for potential Graadese lives lost if it means even getting a sliver of revenge.

Their forces are constantly annihilated as they stand little chance against the overpowered Orien units with their hyper-advanced technology in comparison to the mediocre Graadese tech.
