Fiction:Mithadorn Republic

Physiology
The Mithadorn race are a black, scaled humanoid creatures, with males standing an astounding 10" 5' on average, and females standing 10" 4' on average. They are mostly muscular, and slim.

History
The Mithadorn Republic began with the unification of their home world, Susela. This became known as the zero point on the Mithadorn timeline. Events before this were considered 'B.U', or 'Before Unification'. Any event after is considered 'A.U', or 'After Unification'.

0 - Unification
The Mithadorn united with the festival of the Great Harvest, where the Mithadorn would collect their crops. The four standing nations had, coincidentally, been discussing an alliance with eachother, and agreed to unity in the interests of their people. They then began their space program to explore and colonize their home system.

10 A.U - Touchdown
After ten years the Mithadorn finally landed down on a planet other than their own, landing on the planet Saljan, exploring the surface and begin to colonize the planet.

100 A.U - Outer reaches
Ninety years after landing on Saljan for the first time, the Mithadorn managed to establish civilizations on every moon and planet in their home system, including a planet wide cityscape covering the entire surface of the desert planet Hakkaeto.

The republic had also, by this time, begun to explore the stars beyond their own, however found themselves largely unable to inhabit any worlds they found. Though one world was found that could support life - Anderthorn

2327 A.U - Republic Divided
Many hundreds of years after the discovery of Anderthorn, the Mithadorn republic had grown to around six hundred star systems in size. They had discovered several other races, though tended to keep to themselves, unless forced into a situation.

One such situation was the start of a civil war, that tore the Mithadorn Republic into two groups, and left the race split, and highly distrustful. The war would last for another two thousand seven hundred years, and ended with the reformation of the republic, into a much stricter democratic society, hindering the voices of each and every citizen, in exchange for security, and protection.

Culture
The Mithadorn are a strong, independent group in their galactic neighborhood, working little with the surrounding empires, and operating to defend themselves from any outside threats that they can.

The race is largely atheistic, believing in no gods of any sort, though all Mithadorn have the freedom of religion, sexuality, and choice.

Military
The Mithadorn military is split into armed Clans, made up of groups that average from around eighty thousand to one hundred thousand soldiers.

Each Clan is, in essence, both a spiritual group as well as a military one, claiming a world to call home within their republic, that they are charged to defend. These worlds, and their star system are considered the Clan System, and are charged with the production of a Clans vehicles and weapons, as well as where a Clan recruits from.

The typical Mithadorn soldier is a brutish example of the species in terms of size and strength, bio-genetically modified to be superior to the average Mithadorn in every way. They are then equip with powerful armor and weapons, suited to their role on the battlefield.

As such, the Mithadorn prefer to fight planet-side, rather than in orbit. Though they are capable of dog fighting in the void of outer space.
