Early Beginnings
The Mortalitas evolved on the planet of Moreuse in the Mortiol Starcluster, a planet of huge tropical seas and warm, abundent swamps. The earliest ancestors of the Mortalitas evolved from lizards on land, before eventually returning the seas, becoming fully aquatic in biology, becoming very similar to the ancient, prehistoric Mosasaurs that once swam in Earth's seas. However, when an extinction event on Moreuse eradicated nearly all life in the seas, the early Mortalitas eventually evolved legs and made their first steps onto land.

They evolved very quickly and became the top predators on their native continent, ruthlessy hunting their prey, though keeping away from the larger epic creatures that stalked the prehistoric landscape. Over a period of millions of years, the Mortalitas species became the most widespread and successful species on the planet, covering every continent while well on the way to ultimate sentience.

Society and Culture
The Mortalitas are a highly intelligent ruthless people that once they have found an enemy will stop at nothing to completely annihilate them. However, while the propaganda set against them during the claim that they are unintelligent brutes, the Mortalitas like nothing more than peace, albeit so long as they are the overseers and masterminds of that peace. Citizens of the Mortalitas live incredibly full lives with culture and music being important to the average citizen.

Biology and Appearance
The Mortalitas descended from mosasaurians native to the frozen waters of the Mortalitas Homeworld, a world gripped in a planetary ice age. Because of these extreme weather conditions, the early Mortalitas grew large, powerful and highly resilient. In fact, during battles of the Second Galactic War, Mortalitas have been seen lifting up several Libertus soldiers at once.

They are also known to be extremely flexible in terms of their environment; they can live comfortably in both water and land.

The Mortalitas have a close relative also native from the Mortiol Starcluster, the D’annaoi, a species that joined the United Republic of Cyrannus after the Treaty of Corulus.
