The Fradanh
By Jose R. "The Captain"
PHISIOLOGY:The Fradanh are a mystic and violent carnivore race that resembles the cross of a reptile with a bird. Instead of scales or feathers,their skin is covered by something that share characteristics of both (we can call it perfectly "Scafeats" (("Scaly Feathers")) and has usually a dark grayish colour.They've beakbut, unlike the Pkunk and Yehat beaks, it has a lot of very small teeth.Unlike the Yehat wings, the Fradanh wings are coveredof Scafeats and the fingers that support it aren'tvery visible.They have two orange eyes and an acute sight. However, their most surpisingly physiological characteristic is the capacity of receive HyperWave transmisions thanks to a organ they've in the head andresembles a mane of Scafeats of darkercolour. They, finally are very tall (over 2.50 meters)
PSYCHOLOGY: Like the Pkunk, the Fradanh are a mystical race. However, their mystic is not in any way appeared to the Pkunk. If the Pkunk are a very peaceful and friendly species, the Fradanh are very violent and hostile (this doesn't mean they aren't friendly. If their gods like certain alien species, they'll be very friendly with the members of that alien and vice-versa. However, unlike the Ilwrath, they'll never sacrifyone sentient to their gods).They like to practice the worship to their many gods and goddesses (most of them, of war and purity),with very strange, complex and sometimes bloody rituals. However, not so bloody as the Ilwrath's. Finally, they've a strong and complex code of chivalry.
CULTURE: The Fradanh society is strongly hierarchical and has a system of casts that has existed for over 4000 years, far beyond their Industrial Age. It has the form of the trunk of a pyramid with the priest cast who governs above. Below of them are the warriors, the workers, the "normal citizens" and, in the base, the slaves that, at least, have some rights.Their culture rotates around to serve and give honour to the ones that are in the steps above and worship their gods. If someone serves with great honour and the gods decide it, he will scale steps. The inverse proccess may occur, of course. If the gods decide someone isn't serving well,he will descend steps.
HISTORY: During many years, the Fradanh were only brutaland savage hunters that only lived for the hunt and the war. They started slowly to form Clans, even bigger and bigger, until their society ended resembling the Yehat, with a powerful King ruling them. This epochlasted for over three hundred of years. One day however Krat'Fgoz, one of their priests, received a message from the gods saying the Fradanh society would be as is now. Like with theYehat, there was a violent and bloody revolution that ended establishing the hierarchical system they've now.
STARSHIP: Their main warship,the Ayg'Kpej-Class War Destroyer is a medium-size maneuverable but not very fast ship fitted with three powerful medium-range Tachyon Cannons. Although not very powerful compared with the Yehat guns, they've the advantage of being able of pass, even through Yehat and Utwig shields, and any other defensive system. Their defensive system is a Phasing Device that makes the ship invulnerable during a few seconds to almost any attack except for other Fradanh ships. However, if the ship "phases-in" when inside of a material object, it will be probably destroyed...(If you don't like another phasing device, replace it with a "phasing screen",that phases everything ittouches -except lasers-.) A final note about the page of sizes of starships: the only two I'm completely sure are the Service Vessel and the Mark IV. The others are VERY dubious. However, if I use as basis the sizes of starships of my universe, a Dreadnought would have over 600 meters long and a Cruiser a half, over 300 meters.
