Vaetyr

Vaetyr
Vaetyr is a hot, humid world in the Systems Alliance controlled sector of space. It is subject to wild and vicious changes in weather; monsoons, tornadoes, and wildfires often occur one after the other in the same year.

Vaetyrrans
Vaetyrrans are a strong and hardy race, similar in appearance to monstrous bipedal lizards. Males of this race vary from average eight feet tall, females around seven. The race, conditioned against harsh conditions by the seasonal weather of Vaetyr, have an alarming propensity of survival. They have a focus on manufacturing and the development of advanced technology. The race is extremely militant, with several years of compulsory military service for its males, and compulsory training for its females. The race's militant bent and vendetta against pirates and raiders has given it an advantage in space-bound warfare, developing capital ships and technology such as cloaking devices and short-ranged jump drives long before other races at similar stages of development. They are a part of the Systems Alliance as a peacekeeping force and anti-piracy element. It's a hat that they gladly wear and excel at, as long as any finer negotiations are left to those of a more subtle species.
