Fiction:Capricyránae

The Great Thirteen Races of Capricornians are a group of species that are all related and yet seperated by thousands of light years, beyond planets, stars and even galaxies. The Libertus are probably the most famous race of Capricornian, and the group itself is generally found around the Cyrannia Quadrant, mostly in the Cyrannus Galaxy. Although there is thirteen races, there is also many subspecies which generally don't count as the Thirteen.

The First Tribe - Libertus
The Libertus are known as the First Tribe, and are generally considered the most prolific Capricornian species. The Libertus were once thought to have originated solely on Caprica, but recent discoveries appear to say that they also evolved (or placed) on many other planets across the Cyrannus Galaxy. Although considered across the gigaquadrant as peaceful and just, the Libertus can be manipulative, cunning and some individuals can even be evil and sadistic.

As the Cyrannus Galaxy's most numerous and politically dominant species, the Libertus have been the keystone in the foundation of many galactic governments such as the United Republic of Cyrannus and the Confederacy of Allied Systems. Overall, the Libertus possess millions of colonies and planets stretched across Cyrannus.

The Second Tribe - Adelphi
The Adelphi, also known as the Second Tribe are a race of Capricornian native to Quadrant 82, a galaxy quite close to Cyrannus. They once controlled a large peaceful but secretive empire in an unknown region of the Quadrant but they migrated to Cyrannus, when the Confederacy of Allied Systems invaded. Nowadays the Adelphi are members in the United Republic of Cyrannus and have created a new nation known as the Delfoí Republic with the D'annaoí.

The Libertus first made contact with the Adelphi in the year 6 BTC, during the Intergalactic War. The two races were shocked by the fact that the two races looked so similar, and before long, even more Capricornian races made contact, such as the Cavaneu and the Osteola. Today, the Adelphi remain faithful that more Capricornian races will be found.

The Third Tribe - Osteola
The Osteola, also known as the Third Tribe are the most diplomatic Capricornian race, they are generally extreme pacifists and diplomats that abore violence, war and death. They are native to the Cyrannus Galaxy, and after the monumental Treaty of Corulus in 0 ATC, they joined the Cyrannus Republic. However, the species is split into two nations, the Osteolan Kingdom, which is a member of the URC, and the Osteolan Empire, which has not been seen in many centuries.

The Osteolan Kingdom is ruled democratically by a Prime Minister, however it is the Duke or Duchess which is passed down the royal bloodline. The Kingdom made contact with the Libertus and the Adelphi in the year 1 BTC, and have had good relations ever since. As beforementioned they are strongly opposed to violence and military strength, it places great importance on pacifism and neutrality.

The Fourth Tribe - Cavaneu
The Cavaneu, also known as the Fourth Tribe are a race of Capricornians known for establaishing a very strong knight imperium in a star cluster near the outer rim of Cyrannus. The Cavaneu are one of the oldest Capricornian races, being space faring for tens of thousands of years. In these milleniea they have fought the Basileus, the Fifth Tribe on countless occasions, and a strong rivallry was formed between the two. The Cavaneu are cautious to strangers but loyal to friends, which granted them membership in the URC in the Treaty of Corulus in 0 ATC.

The Cavaneu are Capricornians, however they are among the strangest. Unlike the other Capricornians, the Cavaneu have thick scaly hide, which can survive extreme pain and pressure, this allows them to survive in the vacuum of space for an extended period of time, however they still bare the general appearence of a Capricornian.

The Fifth Tribe - Basileus
The Basileus, also known as the Fifth Tribe are an aggressive species of Capricornian that rule a large empire in the outskirts of the Cyrannus Galaxy, away from the URCs influence, because of this, the races of the Core Worlds, such as the Libertus were not aware of their existance until recently. The culture of the Basileus is based around Speciesism, as they believe that they are superior to all other life forms. However, they do enjoy making alliances, and because of this, they became members in the growing Confederacy of Allied Systems, where they became friendly with the Mortalitas.

They can be best described as being sadistic, cynical and warlike, however unlike barbarous warlike beings like the Loron (Whom the Basileus find primitive and idiotic), the Basileus are intelligent, ruthless and determined to achieve dominance of the galaxy.

The Sixth Tribe - Apationagtus
The Apationagtus also known as the Sixth Tribe are native to the Cyrannus Galaxy. As reptilian creatures, they prefer tropical temperatures more than cold. As such their homeworld is located in the Mid Rim, known as Apheria. A planet with a hot, tropical climat and a lot of water and swamps. Though Apationagtus have a space ship class of their own, it isn't that advanced and as such they adapted and now use URC vessels, upon their joining some of the Apationagtus became URC Navy captains, commandeering the various classes of the URC Navy.

The Apationagtus are a proud and noble race, though at times can be very agressive to those whom mean harm. As such, in battle they show no mercy to those who they consider an enemy. Yet instead, if you are an ally they welcome you with open arms, and often invide you inside their homes to have drink and meal. They are very curious to other alien life, and as such they decided to join the URC, which was a milestone in their history.

The Seventh Tribe - Mataii
The Mataii are the seventh tribe of Capricornian and are native to the Outer Rim of Cyrannus. Because of this, their allegences are unknown, with many joining the CAS and many joining the URC, splitting this noble race between the waring factions of two superpowers. The Mataii themselves are native to the Outer Rim world of Tega III, a warm planet of tropical forests and rolling plains, perfect territory for maniraptorians like the Mataii and their relatives.

The Mataii are naturally very peaceful, but quiet and at times submissive to the wills of more forceful empires and individuals. Still, in times of great need and hardship, the Mataii can be very strong willed and powerful in their opinions and resolve. They are known across the galaxy for their great culture, which employs music, food and wine, which makes Mataii worlds very hospitable and welcoming.

The Eighth Tribe - Dromeourus
The Eight Tribe of Capricornians, the Dromeourus are native to the Inner Rim and as such have a great deal of influence in Cyrannus. The Dromeourus have representation in the Republic Senate, but they also enjoy their own independence.

The Dromeourus themselves are very raptor-like in appearence and have many subspecies located within a close distance to their homeworld, Lurasura's star. These species are less common or prolific then the Dromeourus and yet still play a large part in their culture. The Dromeourus joined the URC in 1 BTC, and since that day, they have lived in peace.

The Dromeourus Republic still maintains a stronger degree of independence from the Republic, however they do enjoy their membership in it and have become allies with the various nations of Libertus within the URC.

The Ninth Tribe - Corthrinus
The Corthrinus are the ninth tribe of Capricornian, and are amoung the most aggressive, only on a par with the Basileus and the Bisisitar. They are, however more deceitful then the other species and have a lust for greater power. It is these qualities that led them to establish a great alliance with the Basileus Imperium, though when the time came to join the Confederacy, the Corthrinus refused, believing that this would limit their power.

The Corthrinus are amoung the most feared empire of Cyrannus, and their very name inspires dread from the average citizen and their relentless quest for power has left many worlds ravaged by the storm that is their armada. The Corthrinus often think simularly to the Basileus as the two share many things in common. However, the Cothrinus do not plan as far ahead as the Basileus, but prefer to improvise in battle situations.

The Tenth Tribe - Fernei-Tuu
The Fernei-Tuu are a race of shrewd, cut-throat Capricornians that are relatively common across Cyrannus. The Fernei-Tuu are known for their business savvy, but they are also well known for being great bounty hunters.

As a species, and a trait they share with all Capricornians, the Fernei-Tuu are physically very strong, intelligent and their hands make them quite dexterous. They are known across the galaxy for their famous trading and business skills, and you don't have to look too hard to find Fernei-Tuu business men and woman across the galaxy, trying to make more money. A little known fact about the Fernei-Tuu is that their life also revolves around the well being of their families, it is because of this that the Fernei-Tuu have a great love for the care of children. However, they have retained many predatory instincts, which is why they are often considered to be aggressive, resourceful businessbeings.

They are also known to be proficient bounty hunters and assassins, who are feared across the galaxy of Cyrannus.

The Eleventh Tribe - Saurornithanta
The Saurornithanta is the Eleventh Tribe of Capricornian. They are known for inhabiting a large empire in the unknown regions of Cyrannus and their views of xenophobia and their cold, intelligent and calculating personalities. They defend their borders with a great zeal. Despite their nations, the Saurornithantan Dominion's policy of secrecy and seculusion, many Saurornithanta have migrated to the URC or the CAS, where they can be found in a variety of positions.

The Dominion tries to mention peace, despite the fact that they are often seen as being quite aggressive and xenophobic, they do have relations with many other nations across Cyrannus, who nevertheless, distrust them. Biologically, the Saurornithanta are closely related to the other members of the Thirteen species, especially the Dromeourus, who bare a similar appearance.

The Twelfth Tribe - Bisistar
The Bisistar, also known as the Twelfth Tribe are a highly advanced race of Capricornians native to the Cyranai Galaxy, a satellite of Cyrannus. They are highly intelligent, manipulative, deadly and misleading and often use this to trap and trick lesser races into following their will. It is because of this that, biologically the Bisistar are probably the most deadly Capricornian race.

Because the Bisistar originated in unknown space, they have had little or no contact with civilizations in Cyrannus for hundreds of thousands of years. It was during that time that the Bisistar invaded Cyrannus, damaging its economy and infrastructure. However, due to the intervention of the Pyrai Republic, the Bisistar were forced to retreat, swearing revenge...

The Thirteenth Tribe - Unknown


The Thirteenth Tribe are a race of unknown enlightened beings who possess technology and abilities of unimaginable proportions. Often misinterpreted in the First Gigaquadrant as the gods of the Capricornian species, this is untrue, the Thirteenth Tribe are in fact an incredibly advanced civilization that often aids in the advancement of other speices. They do however, have a godly origin, having being created by an unknown force as part of the age old saying, All of this has happened before...and all of it will happen again.

By far the most advanced Capricornian species, the original name of the Thirteenth Tribe has been lost to the folds of history and time. They are believed to be responsible for many ancient artifacts scattered across the Cyrannia Quadrant, such as a newly discovered ring world found in Cyrannus. This ring world is currently being fought over in the Great Cyrannus War.
