Struss

## Grand Commander Struss

Grand Commander Struss, the leader of the Sturian Black Stars. One of the many new leaders rising from the edges of the galaxy with a penchant of fighting wars, conquering his foes and his grand ambition of conquering the galaxy at one point. And with such goal he gathered as much assets that he could and traveled to the edges of the galaxy, looking for a planet to call his own and raise an army and nation to fulfill his goal.

## Species and History

Struss along the rest of his species (The Galturs) grow up on the planet of Oltador, A frozen Storm world where most of its population grew up on on of its poles, in his case the south. His species was uplifted just a few decades before his birth thanks to the Nallen Communality as they saw the martial prowess of the species, Making some good frontline soldiers, guards and ship boarders thanks to their strenght, size but thoughness. Though overall on the commanding aspect they do lack a bit, way too cautious and slow to react for the ever so evolving and changing battlefield of the future wars. The species too is overall deinterested in other galactic affairs, trying to focus on themselves unless they do profit fromo ther actions as long it does not bring bad affection to themselves. Species wise they grow up more on a focus of their clan or tribe than family. Once born one of the older females of the pack takes cares of the offsprings of the other adults, teaching and taking care of them till they reach adulthood. After that they either stay with the clan/tribe or they follow a path of focus on themselves a notion of family is mostly formed around the clan and sharing responsibility but even then they are not so strong emotionally connected to each other, survival is a much bigger focus than that, after all it helped that species to survive upon such dangerous planet. They life styles are also rather slow for the normal observer, they walk a steady but slow walk, saving as much free time for themselves, combat and such jobs are the only ways to see them actually be fast and responsive, an instinct of hunt is burned into their mentality, makign them reserve their power for heightened situations, making them less suitable for high administrativ jobs but suitable for mining and martial jobs. The species follows a conservative role, being cautious with technologyl, taking a safe and careful approach on development...

That all together makes Struss unique from the rest of his species as he is rather so far off the regular Galtur that they labeled him as a radical and dangerous in their eyes, allying with other species, a pursuit of combat and fighting rather stability and saving free time, and an ambition of conquering the galaxy. Wheres the other are taking slow and for themselves struss is relentlessly going after his goals. Making him the most prominent and known figure of his species, mostly with his past Nallen combat history and The Greater Merdos Empire where he participated in a border conflict initiated by the Merdorians who tried to take over one of the smaller border planets, during Struss showed off his tactical skills since the commander of him and the rest of the forced died during action, forcing Struss to take the role. Out Numbered and out gunned started The Battle of Falling Veil. The outcome... Decisive win for Nallen and the loose of Struss´s whole left arm.
