Solar System

The Avian system consists of six planets, Daikis, Kolmo, Avia, Nekt, Sekaia, and Frekor all orbiting the yellow star Achor. The Aviaxes live on Avia, the third planet from the sun.

Planets
Daikis, the first planet orbiting Achor, it is a hot planet consisting mainly of igneous rock, and Magma. It has a very strong atmosphere, and is widely affected by the greenhouse effect; there is no known life on Daikis.

Kolmo, the second planet from the sun, is hot and dry, covered in canyons and tall mountains, made almost entirely of sedimentary rock, with a little iron here and there. The only inhabitants appear to be microbes.

Avia, the third planet from the sun, is very earthlike, mostly covered by oceans, accompanied by a fair amount of land. It’s atmosphere is perfect for sustaining life. There are many species known, including the Aviax, the Lirox, and the Selox. It has three moons, Gaeix, Myrix, and Pessix.

Nekt A small gas giant, with several rings of ice fragments orbiting it. Life is not capable of forming on Nekt, due to its heavy core. Any life on Nekt would be crushed before being able to form.

Sekaia A titanic rock planet, it is the biggest in the solar system. It does contain life, a sort of reptilian rat (known as a Kwamex by the Aviaxes). It has four moons. Corvida, Siserakt, Koralid, and Filtard

Frekor Frekor is a tiny rock planet, consisting of one moon, Sefar, it’s environment is cold, and there is currently no sign of life, though it seems sustainable.

=Evolution=

Evolution Tree
The Aviax began as a small microorganism covered in spines, but it didn’t stay that way for long, soon it evolved into a fishlike creature with large wing like fins, the fins quickly evolved into wings, and it’s dorsal fin became a pair of legs. Then the path split into two ways, the first being the Lirox, it’s legs quickly disappeared and it’s body grew slender, like a snake’s. it’s tail grew barbed.

The other line became the Aviax, first the wings grew to an immense size, followed by their body, their hindlegs became small wings, and the forewings grew claws.

Tribal Stage

Prehistoric – 0 to 300,000 (300,000 years long)

Stone Age – 300,000 to 455,000 (155,000 years long)

Copper Age – 455,000 to 470,000 (15,000 years long)

Bronze Age – 470,000 to 520,500 (5,500 years long)

=Prehistoric= Prehistoric Aviaxes were almost done developing their forewings and were beginning to develop their hindwings.

Hunting
Prehistoric Aviaxes were fairly weak and unstable, thus fairly low on the food chain, but they meainly only hunted small rodents then.

=Stone Age= By the stone edge their wings had fully developed, and they had become much more powerful a faction in the environment. They began building air cities, and gained the ability to hover.

Religion
The Aviaxes believed that Avox (A giant Aviax with the head of a Lirox) the lord of the sky, created them and everything in the universe, to work together in peace.

Aviax Gods
There are three major gods that the Aviaxes worship at this point, Avoid, assumed creator of the universe, specifically them. Faythar god of the hunt was said to aid them when food was hard to find, he also assumedly helped them with every catch. And Lusi goddess of wind, said to carry them everywhere they went.

Diet
At this point the Aviaxes were still eating small rodents, but now had expanded their diet to small Air dwelling creatures, as well as young Selox.

Weapons
At this point the Aviaxes had crude spears, in other words, sharpened sticks used to stab a prey.

Tribes
The Aviaxes currently were split into three tribes: the Lower, Mid, and Upper skies. Each tribe has defining features, and is considered a subspecies of the Aviax. The lower sky tribe, as you may have guessed stayed nearer to the ground, they were the smallest Aviax subspecies, but also the fastest, due to possible need of a swift escape.

The second tribe, the mid sky tribe, stayed in between the Upper and Lower Sky tribe’s domain, they are the largest subspecies of Aviax, as they need to defend themselves against the aggressive upper sky tribe, as well as Lirox attacks.

The third and final tribe, upper sky, was aggressive and would attack anything that enters their territories. They are average sized, and frequently attempted to attack the mid sky tribe for food, and supplies, however they were largely unsuccessful.

City Stage

Iron Age – 520,500 to 521,600 (1,100 years long)

Renaissance Age – 521,700 to 521,950 (250 years long)

Hierarchic Age-521,950 to 522,050 (100 years long)

=Iron Age= The Aviaxes are fully developed, and their weapons are getting more advanced, not they have metal spears, cannons, and catapults.

Sky Catapults
A typical Iron Age Aviax Soldier would carry a Sky Catapult. They attached the catapult to their backs by strapping it around their bodies. Then they hurled rocks, and other such things at their foes. It is similar with sky Cannons.

=Renaissance Age= This is the age of Parilament, not much has changed except their social structure.

Parliament
Currently the three tribes have established a parliament consisting of nine powerful and intelligent Aviaxes, three from each tribe to work together and come up with ideas for the good of the entire Aviax population, however Parliament itself was led by a governor, this worked for a while, until Sevax Uppax Kirax of the Upper skies entered Parliament as Governor, he forced the Parliament to have the Lower and Upper skied to launch and attack on the Mid Sky tribe, many died during this fight including Sevax. Parliament ended after being overthrown by the Mid Sky tribe.

The Mid Sky Rebellion
At around 521,945 The Mid Sky Tribe launched an attack on parliament, completely whipping it out, along with all heirs, they then proceeded to take over the upper and lower skies, this is currently known as the mid sky rebellion, and thus began the Hierarchic age.

=Hierarchic Age= After the Mid Sky rebellion the mid sky selected a leader, a young Aviax by the name of Kyrix Midax Monstrosix. He was the only “Elected” king of the sky, those who followed were his sons, the generation had complete control over all the Aviaxes, and he created all the laws.

 * Kilax Midax Hybidax (Fought in the Upper Sky Rebellion) 522,049-522,050

The Twin Sky Rebellion
At around 522,050 the Upper Sky met with the lower sky to make an alliance against the mid sky, the two tribes attacked at once and overthrew the Mid sky in a matter of months. To this day it is still called the Twin Sky Rebellion. After it the Hierarchic Age ended.

=Space stage= After the Hierarchic age ended the Aviaxes began developing vehicles, but for now we can skip that part, but then a brilliant Aviax scientist named Sofax Lowax Citarax, created the L.A.S Spacecraft, a large ship that was said to be able to fly into space, at first they were skeptical, as those who attempted to reach the stars never came back, however when he traveled to Sekaia and back, bringing back a reptilian rodent the Aviaxes were anxious to try it out. More spacecraft were built and they began to form alliance with other planets, and were quickly allied with everyone in the solar system. Next, Lycax Lowax Citarax, Sofax’s son upgraded the travel distance on it, allowing it to explore the galaxy. Afterwards they mad alliance with all nearby solar systems and began to learn other languages.

Currently they are still exploring the galaxy hoping to join new alliances for the greater good of the galaxy.
