Jraenar
[Originally from Space Empires IV & V, Adapted for Distant realms lore]
HISTORYThe Jraenar were originally a quiet, hard-working race and didn’t have must interest in the outside galaxy. But after a number of wars and the rise of the first Master General, the Jraenar entered into an aggressive military expansion phase.
PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTESThe Jraenar are large bipedal reptiles sharing similar physical traits to Terran dinosaurs. Having evolved on a volcanic world the Jraenar scales have become thicker and fire retardant. Scale colors range in color from fiery red, rocky brown, and to a molten black.
Jraenar are adept at living in heat conditions that would normally be extremely uncomfortable or uninhabitable by other species. Jraenar blood produces a special enzyme that effectively cools and regulates the bodies internal temperature giving them incredible resistance to heat.
SOCIETAL ATTRIBUTESThe Jraenar are known for their crafty nature and military prowess. Jraenar society is organized in a hierarchy from the Master General down to the lowly workers. All members of their society are considered valuable, and each serves to promote the interest of their species. Though they have never changed their hardworking nature, they are now devoted mainly to a military expansionist philosophy.
