Creature:Catharhinii

The Catharhinii are a simian, ape-like member of the and to a greater extent, a member of. They are a tribalistic people, designated a "Militant" group by Federation leadership, and given positions within the military, specifically the land forces, due to their large size, powerful builds and aggressive demeanor, though Catharhinii, as a whole, do not usually enjoy fighting and killing, though do enjoy contests of strength and bluster between each other, coming across as a race of blowhards and the like to others, but never the less likeable and easy-going. Their membership in the Federation almost did not happen, due to the rest of the Federation viewing them as primitive and backwards compared to other races, and it took the intercession of the to get the Federation to make them members. The Federation, while accepting of the wisdom of the elders, still does not trust the Catharhinii.

For their part, the Catharhinii have embraced their role within the Federation as soldiers and warriors, and gladly fight for the Multus Esse, though due to their isolated nature and tendency to dislike massive cities like other Federation species, many believe they are only warriors, like so many others in Mirus. In reality, most Catharhinii Clans and Tribes feel obliged to serve because of the debt they feels they owe the Multus Esse, and believe fighting and protecting their ideals and relics to be the best way to accomplish this.

Contact
The Federation would come into contact with the small, nascent civilization of Jamouk, when a Zarbanians would launch an assault on their world, attacking their homeworld, and taking many into servitude within the Powers. The Federation, not wishing to see their foe gain such a race as servants, launched a counter attack, and on the homeworld of Jamouk, their legions witnessed numerous fights between the natives and the Zarbanians, who used their superior strength and knowledge of the terrain to defeat their more advanced foes. The Federation was impressed by their strength, but would not grant them membership rights. The Catharhinii showed much brutality in their repulsing of Zarbania, and the Federation believed their primitive, savage nature would be detrimental to Federation society. The Catharhinii were granted observer status, but, despite the Catharhinii's 3 different letters sent to join, were denied full membership.
