Tamarrian Biology
The Tamarrian Continuum is made up entirely of the Tamarrian Race. They can be loosely be described as bi-pedal. Their skin ranges from dark and light purple to dark blues, usually with strange natural coloured markings. Unlike other bipeds in the galaxy like the Phong or Hedres they have many noticeable differences. They have 4 arms and 2 long legs, both of which are extremely strong, thin and long. They have a small spherical body with very light layers of fat deposits that makes them prone to low temperatures. The shoulders and chest of the body is dominated by a large bony chest plating which extends over the shoulders. It is padded with cartilage and muscle underneath to protect where the twin hearts, lungs and other specialist organs lie. This bony structure then goes up and forms the neck. The neck is slightly long and supports their light heads. The Tamarrian head is medium sized and is mainly filled up by their brain, their eyes are slightly more tear shaped than most races and are usually pure black. Where most bipeds have a mouth and nose there is just flesh, with a slight vertical opening which serves as a mouth and nose, this opening is also an air filter which destroys toxins in the air so it is suitable to breathe in. The Tamarrian’s don’t have external ears. Instead they had 3 small holes, two on the each side of their head and one at the back. Tamarrian’s senses were extremely acute, with excellent eyesight, smell and hearing. Coupled with their small size and extra muscular limbs they were extremely agile and can do most tasks a lot faster than most species. This explains the little time it takes the Tamarrian’s to create grand architectural cities and grand ships; this has earned them the label of Hardy Industrialists. Tamarrian’s also carry a metallic arm piece on their lower right arm. This monitors their health and contains their Tamarrian Data card that contains the History and general information of that Tamarrian. If a Tamarrian falls ill these arm pieces can diagnose them and, if serious, can contact the Tamarrian’s Health service. They are immune to a certain level of poisons and toxins and are resilient to most diseases.
Society Description
The Tamarrian’s are extremely religious. This was caused by the way Tamarrian’s decomposed. Usually 2 days after they died they decompose in a brilliant flash of light, a chemical reaction caused by the decaying of their insides, they believe that at this point they “Ascend”. This motivates the entire society. They believe once they ascend they can become one with nature. This has caused the Tamarrian’s to become extremely careful and protective with nature, and many of their cities flourish with exotic fauna. The Continuum is ruled by 10 High Priests, 2 high priests come from 1 of the 5 cults that make up the basis of the Tamarrian Religion. There is also a High Omnicron who represented the Tamarr race has a whole. The 5 cults that make up the societies are: The Warrior Cult. They believe they have to protect the Tamarrian’s and their planets, they effectively rule the Military. The Time cult who represents those who create the minerals and resources for the empire to use, they believe that if they optimise their time they will reach Ascension through helping the Tamarrian Society. Then there was the Nature Cult who believes that by caring for the planets and nature of the Tamarrian Continuum they will ascend. The Seers who are dedicated to learning and education, they believe by further advancing the technologies of the Continuum they will ascend. Lastly was the Ascension cult whom believe that through driving themselves to perfection in everything they do they will reach Ascension. Every cult works with each other and Tamarrian law is based on rules and guidelines from all of these cults. There is no internal fighting between the sects and the people enjoy a peaceful life
General History
The Tamarrian Continuum began it’s era as a Space faring race just over 50 years ago. The planet they evolved on had 5 separate continents, and for many years 5 different Governments ruled over the planet. But after many wars and technological advancement, which created greater and greater threat to the people, the Tamarrian’s overthrew the corrupt governments and placed the Priests in charge of the Society. After many new laws were passed that gave the people more freedom the Tamarrian’s discovered the sufficient technology to move out into space. It wasn’t long before they found alien life and placed a knowledgeable scholar named A’tush to represent them to the Aliens. They have so far proposed and maintained many successful treaties with the neighbouring life forms. However After a long war with the Taeron, which thankfully only resulted in the loss of one planet, they are now under a protectorate, which the Taeron wish to expand to a Subjugation treaty and to the extent of unconditional surrender.
