Gatrubbian

The Gatrubbians were once a peaceful and unified people. Their culture focused around their gods, the Writers, who wrote the story of each and every being and object in the universe. For the Gatrubbians, each and every person was merely a character in a grand story. Two centuries ago they launched their first interstellar starship, the Sojourn. Unfortunately not long after the launch dissent within the Gatrubbian government led to a civil war. The use of fusion bombs turned the planet into a ball of molten rock. The colonies in the Gatrubbian star system didn’t last long without a home planet for support. The remaining Gatrubbians fled the system on the few ships they had migrating amongst the stars. Unfortunately years of sublight travel and inbreeding has led to detrimental effects of the Gatrubbian people.

Now, the Gatrubbians have been reduced to wandering nomadic tribes with distinct differences between them as a result of this inbreeding.. The exact number of Gatrubbian tribes is unknown, but there could be upwards of a hundred, consisting of no more than a few dozen individuals each. The differences could be genetic or sociological.
