Succession Era
"We were a species born to succeed, to violently overthrow that which came before us. For it had become to rotten and corrupt and had to be ripped away from underneath it's own feet."

The Vanara developed on a planet called. An icy, dark, forested planet with a thin atmosphere constantly bombarded by cosmic rays, and with a boron and ammonia based ecosystem during a period similar to the middle ages of earth. The planet was dominated by a divided Therapsid species called Promen who for the most part lived as scattered tribes and kingdoms that minded their own boarders with only the occasional territorial squabble.

That all changed when one tribe began to develop industrial era technology. A religion grew in this people that worshiped machine spirits and gathered a highly zealous fallowing who set out to force all others to submit to their religion and ways. They crushed tribe after tribe, kingdom after kingdom until there was only one. They sent a secret order of knights to subjugate these people. While successful the shamans of this tribes religion had planned a trap for them. For these shaman had been visited by a being called the Master who had granted them a curse and when these shaman died their blood soaked onto the skin of knights infecting them with a sexual transmitted virus that infected the knights mutated they're children into mutants with frightening abilities. The first wave of these mutants were exterminated, but as the Promen continued to progress the virus continued to mutate causing more and more powerful mutants to emerge every century or so. Eventually a vaccine was developed against the virus thus ending the threat of the mutants spreading and they were all gunned down.

However as the last of these mutants was about to be killed she mysteriously vanished. The mutant had been abducted by three members of a dying race called. They wished to preserver their species by merging the mutant with one of their own to create a living terraforming device that would create a new species to preserve their legacy, the mutant agreed and a merged with a Persacron to create the living terraforming device called. Ava returned to the planet where a massive nuclear war had broken out. Ava released a much stronger variation of the virus strengthened by Persacron DNA. The Promen soon found themselves fighting an enemy within as well as without and were eventually driven to extinction and the Vanara rose to dominance.

Domination Era
The Vanara initial started out as a divided race with littlie to no organization amongst themselves. That all changed when a race called the Zangreal transplanted a biomechanical being called Mana with the ability to psychically influence the Vanara uniting them. However this all changed when a asteroid carrying a mutagen fell to the planet infesting food and water supplies. The mutagen increased the Vanara's natural aggression and forming a hive mind that referred to itself as Tachi and rose up and attacked Mana. Mana in response unleashed a psionic pulse that deactivated it and fractured the Vanara into several warring hive minds called Qual, Warjeth, Ouni, Viz, Giri, Ur-Yi, Kari, Jura, and Githra. The Hive Mind of Githra was so powerful that the Hive Minds of Qual and Warjeth joined forces against and all three were destroy. The Hive Minds of Qual and Viz destroyed each other fighting one another, and the Jura Hive Minds destroyed the Giri, Ur-Yi, and Kari leaving it as the only Hive Mind left. At this pint Mana unleashed another psionic pulse that severed the Hive Mind into a Group Mind at the cost of Mana's own life. The result was chaos until a female named Empress Raack untied them,

Expansion Era
The expansion era began when the Vanara dicovered the ability to access Closed Space as a means of interstellar travel. During the coarse of this they discovered several other races who while they had the capabilities for interstellar travel of their own they were limited by the energy requirements such systems needed. The key was that they were still using fission as an energy source while the Vanara had figured out cold fusion a long time ago. The Vanara rather naively gave this technology to the other races thus kicking off a massive space race that the Vanara were completely unprepared for. The Vanara however proved to not only be highly adaptable, but also extremely ruthless quickly coming out on top and either destroying or enslaving the other races. However one Vanara colony at the edge of their territory developed without slaves developing values of independence, hard work, and general distaste for the use of slaves. This colony was contacted by a mysterious being called Reith. Reith warned them of a coming threat and instructed them to begin building something beneath the crust of their planet.

Imperial Era
The Vanara for three millennium ruled over their interstellar empire until tragedy struck. The Vanara worlds began to go dark, all communication being lost and any investigation force sent never returning. As the number of worlds growing dark began to increases ever faster the Vanara realize the absolutely terrifying unkown force they were up against and sent their entire navy to deal with the threat, none ever returned. Eventually the Vanara home world itself went dark. For the colony the time had come, under Reith's instructions they activated what they had been building beneath the planets crust. Three massive Worldships each containing a separate ecosystem ripped their way out with the Vanara colonists on board before fleeing Vanara territory. At this point Reith vanished.

Biology
Vanara are boron and ammonia based radioactive therapsids created by a mutagenic STD called the. They are fast and flexible though a little fragile, but with incredibly fine tuned senses. While boron and ammonia based they can process carbon and water based foods, but over 5 cups of pure water is toxic. One of their most prominent features is their large pineal gland that allows them to manipulate their own sleep patterns. They have a powerful ability to senses electromagnetic fields and even manipulate their own naturally occurring electromagnetic field to an extent.

Psychokinetic Field
A field generate by a number of Vanara that has they ability to manipulate and sever molecular bonds as well as acting as an anti-essence barrier. However despite it's name it is neither psychic or kinetic(or even essence for that matter), but is called such as a mislead.

Ryu Form
A power unique to only a select few Vanara in third stage(now Naiyu) that allows then to incarnate a massive dragon like form around them in truly desperate, life or death situations.

Primitive Forms
Vanaris Hecate= A sub species native to Worldship Leviathan, they live in packs near the shore were they scavenge on washed up corpses. They are the most primitive sub species. They are sometimes kept as pets.

Vanaris Helios= Native to Worldship Ziz, they live in small clans on the slopes of the plateau were they feed on small rodents and birds. They are also sometimes kept as pets.

Vanara Atlas= As sub species native to Worldship Behemoth, they live in caves in small family units throughout the great dessert. They are the most intelligent, but not full sapient.

Evolved Forms
Naiyu= The Naiyu Vanara are the primary race of the UPD created by the Insurrection Virus and an evolution of the Vanara after their DNA was fused with that of the Scelus and Zangreal. They are boron based and radioactive, but fully capable of controlling the level of radiation they produce. They are incredibility fast and agile, as well as having many adaptations, making them well suited for combat. They have both scales and fur, with several horns and very long ears. They posses four glowing eyes and a very large clawed feet. Naiyu Vanara who were Third Stage Vanara when they were transformed can shift between this new form and their old one at will, so many use this new form as a sort of alter ego.

Saucerian= Genetically enhanced Vanara designed by the Suacerian Singularity to be a superior species having become a sub-species unto themselves. They are tall, pure white creatures with smooth skin, ribbon-like structures coming from their shoulders, featureless faces, and three red eyes. They are cold beings, known for their detached nature and communicating with telepathy as well as control their radiation output. Extremely cunning and cruel, they naturally believe in their own superiority over others and are programmed to be extreme xenophobes. They posses a deepy, echoing, raspy, growling voice.

United Persan Descendants
The main faction of Vanara, the members having evoled into the Naiyu Vanara. They are militaristic, but peaceful and prefer diplomacy over war. They are members of the Unified Alliance of Enlightenment.

Saucerian Singularity
A splinter faction from the Vanara Empire the Singularity are xenophobic and hostile. They believe that all inferior life must be destroyed, but do believe some life is superior which they ally themselves to. They have become the Saucerian Singularity after the creation of the Saucerian Vanara.

Allies

 * Ugandalorians - Initially interactions between Imperial Vanara and Ugandalorians were tense to openly hostile. The Ugandals seeing the Vanara as sadistic savages, and the Vanara seeing the Mendel as prejudice idealists. However during the many wars the Vanara and Ugandals fought along side in many battles against common enemies they both began to see each other for what they really were, honorable warriors who fought for what they believed in and cared about in an incredibility hostile universe.The Vanara have taken a strong liking to the Ugandal god Hoorangiir, with the Cult of Hoorangiir having a strong presence in the UPD. While Vanara get along just fine the Walgolorians, they are known to detest Kodalorians. This is due to the death of the children for those who fail in the most spectacular way, something seen as a sin of the highest caliber.


 * Raptoranean - While the Waptoria Alliance of Species (who the Raptoraneans are part of) were the first to ally the Vanara Empire, inter species relationships between the two species are mixed. The Vanara find the Raptoraneans pheromones to smell absolutely reached and are weary of the Raptoraneans hedonism. The Raptoraneans understand though that the Vanara need to keep a clamp on their emotions due to the Sadistic Side, and the Vanara appreciate this. However, the overbearing, cold, and disdainful attitude of many Vanara can be a turn off for them. Due to the Raptoraneans ability to sense and even smell the emotions of others, most Raptoraneans realize that there is a wall around the hearts of the Vanara and they have no desire for just anyone to see behind this veil, respecting this.


 * Orgaat - In general Vanara get along fine with Orgaat, some even quiet well. Both are even known to share meals after conflict as both have cannibalistic tendencies. Even though Orgaat hate species who eat others for no purpose or need, Vanara do have purpose for the consumption of the dead of others and their own. This is since they eat the dead enemies for the sheer practicality of easing the strain on rations and eating their own dead is so their fallen can provide for their companions even in death(that and not wasting fresh meat).

Neutral

 * Humans - Vanara for the most part despise humans, regarding them as weak creatures in both body, mind, and soul. To them humans tend to vary between extremely selfish or selfless to the point of being complete fanatics. However not all humans are treated with the same level of disgust and disregard, France despite being mistrusted by the UPD is given a sort of grudging respect and the Sicorséach of the Mendel Pact are given a fair amount of respect or at least seen as able to prove themselves.

Terminology
