Creature:Libertus

Capricornians or Caprisaurus rex are a human sized carnivorous saurian native to the Twelve Colonies. They are famed for creating United Republic of Cyrannus

The Capricornians evolved from bipedal theropods originally native to the lush, temperate hills of the planet Caprica, however 100,068 before the Unification of the Twelve Colonies, the Atlantica (Thirteenth Tribe and the Rambo Gods) Place ancient Capricornians from Caprica to 11 other worlds to evolve, these worlds became known as the Twelve Tribes, and later the Twelve Colonies. Over the eons they have become very friendly, however they can be very stern to the enemy.

Creature
Capricornians were a dangerous species that killed when not even in need of food. They evolved on the Island Continent of Capricana where they quickly became its most intelligent and successful creature. Its mortal enemies the Raptorous (see Capricorn page) were the most successful hunter and many battles were waged between the two.

Tribal
When they entered tribal stage they no longer hunted land animals and turned to fish. They were the most skilled fishermen on the planet. After a while they started to use their commune with nature to wipe out all other tribes until the world was populated by Capricornians. It was now that they first left Capricana to explore the wider world. The Twelve Tribes of Capricornians were formed over 100,000 years before the unification of the Twelve Colonies, when an ancient civilisation known as the Atlantica transported tribal era Capricans (A being from Caprica) to the other eleven habitable planets in the system. All these separate civilisations had their own culture and history, this molded the colonies behaviour when they met almost 10 millennia later. The Atlantica called this organisation the Twelve Tribes, which is where the Gods get their name.

Caprican Renaissance
Early during the civilization years, culture was very important for the Capricornians, this interest in learning came from the ancient Caprican Empire of the Jomions, who were interested in science and religion. During this era, many lovely cities such as Oldale and Seekwood were built and many beautiful paintings were made.

Exploration Age
During this era, Caprica was split up into many independent countries and empires, it was now that these Capricornians began to sail the seas in search for new land, the early Capricornian Captain, Roberio Morin was sent by King Capri II to find and discover a new land to spread his empire, two months into the trip, the crew on Morins ship sighted birds a clear sign of nearby land, the crew landed in a sheltered harbor and set up a small town which later crew to become Caprica City

The United Government of Caprica
The citizens of Caprica City eventually formed the UGC (United Government of Caprica) and they were an economic nation which soon controled all of the newly discovered continent of Capripea. It was now that they invented the first aeroplanes. In the civilization years they only started one war and quickly won it due to the help from there more materialistic allys. Eventually the UGC controlled the entire planet and the years of peace followed.

Early Space
10 years after the unification of Caprica, the colony of Leonis was the first to become space faring, Caprica followed and quickly all the other colonies were in space making contact with one another. It was a peaceful time, however soon an Colonial War began between the rich colonies and the poor. The war was long and bloody and Caprica and its allies, Virgon and Picon won over the poorer enemies. However a single government was still out of sight.

Planet
Caprica was a geologically unique world in the galaxy. A plasmic molten outer core surrounded an inner core, believed to be composed primarily of a nickel-iron alloy, with very small amounts of some other elements. These elements were found in abundance in other chemical compositions in the galaxy, but it is the unique properties of the plasma which interested astrophysicists, plasma which the two primary civilizations harnessed to supply clean and efficient energy highly valued throughout the galaxy. The surface of Caprica was covered by dense swamps, rolling grass plains, seas and verdant hills. The largest mountain chain, the Eurro Mountains, bisected the largest continent of Capricana and divided the great grass plains of the north from the Aquauro Swamp and bayous in the south. South of the Aquauro Swamp was the great Europolos Sea, where at the bottom lay the lairs of Epic Sea Monsters. The Nuea Country was an area known for its natural beauty, and was home to many vacation estates.

People
Capricornian culture valued education, the performing and fine arts, and peaceful resolutions to conflicts. They placed high value in their participation in the Caprican Senate. The Capricornians constantly sought a harmonious existence with their surroundings, evident in their integration of their society into the natural terrain of Caprica. Capricornians were known for love of philosophy. An average Capricornian was very educated and cultured. Poets and artists thrived on Caprica. The beauty moved the pens of poets, while the vast grasslands served as a canvas for grass paintings. Caprica was also famous for its cuisine. The large variety of spices and herbs allowed chefs to experiment and create some of the finest dishes in the galaxy. Steamed Capricornian spiced wine was a favored beverage among many. Some of Caprica's major exports included wine, art, and luxury goods.
