The Mortalitas are a sentient species of xenomosasaurians native to Moreuse in the Cyrannus Galaxy, known for their fearsome disposition and mastery over one of the galaxy’s most dangerous regions.

Rising from the treacherous oceans of Moreuse, the Mortalitas carved a bloody swath through the Mortiol Starcluster early in their space-faring history, forging the Mortalitas Empire through the conquest of innumerable other species. As a result, the Mortalitas were often vilified by the citizens of the galaxy’s interior, though their strong borders and fearsome military forestalled countless attempted invasions by Cogsangui in the centuries prior to the outbreak of the Intergalactic War.

While the Mortalitas Empire was an isolationist power for much of its recorded history, the outbreak of the Mortiol Expansion War in 17 BNE had a profound impact on the Mortalitas. Although their goal of conquering the Federation of United Worlds was unsuccessful, the conflict inaugurated a new era for the Mortalitas, continuing with their involvement in the Trucinex War and subsequent conflicts.

History[]

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.

Imperial Alliance[]

The Mortalitas eventually grew into a frightening civilization that became feared across the Unknown Regions. As the Mortalitas continued to expand outwards, several thousand individuals escaped and headed to the Core Worlds, where they fought in the famous Mortalitas War against the Federation of United Worlds, only to be defeated by the allies. The true Mortalitas Empire on the other hand expanded outward, eventually meeting the Trucinex who were locked in the Trucinex War. Sending Zillum, the Empress of the Mortalitas gave her orders to aid the Trucinex. The new help boistered the Trucinex cause, though they were eventually defeated.

In defeat, the Mortalitas retreated back to their space, or at least they appeared to retreat back to their space. In actuallity, they began to explore the Quadrants, where they joined the Imperial Alliance, fighting in the Second Galactic War against the Allied forces of Rambo Nation. Eventually, the war ended in an armistice, though the Mortalitas and in particular, Zillum became infamous across the Gigaquadrant. The Mortalitas continued to be members of the Imperial Alliance even during the Intergalactic War, but soon formed the Confederacy of Allied Systems in the aftermath of the Emperor's death.

The Confederacy[]

The Mortalitas became the founding members of the Confederacy of Allied Systems, a huge alliance of many likeminded empires. However, they also experienced a drawback, the fall of the Imperial Alliance, the death of the Galactic Emperor and the betrayal of his hand. Yet, this proved to be a blessing for the Mortalitas, who under the influence of the more peaceful races in the Confederacy, became much more peaceful, yet still ,very aggressive.

They grew the genuine urge to liberate the galaxy from the influence of the seemingly corrupt Republic. During the Great Cyrannus Wars, the Mortalitas became the fleet and shipmasters of the Confederacy.

Attack at Cyroenia

They joined the Asgord Genocide at the end of 1 ATC, without support from the other members of the CAS. Nevertheless, they sent a large fleet to conquer as many Asgord planets as possible. The first of these was Ekotanes, a large colony in the Kraw Galaxy, Mortalitas Warriors beamed down in the center of a city, cutting up Asgord and crushing them under their feet. True to their Asgordian ways, the government of the planet sent a delegation to greet the new arrivals, but when the delegation attempted to hug the invaders, the Mortalitas quickly exterminated them, and the majority of the Asgord on the planet. The Confederate Senate was not informed of this.

Imperial Era[]

When the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus was formed, it didn't take much time for the Mortalitas to swear loyality to the new Imperial hyperpower. With Zillum at the helm of the Imperial Navy, the glory days of the Mortalitas began. However, to their anger, their queen, Moch-Na was not made Grand Mandator of the Unknown Regions, with the position itself going to Grand Mandator Bri'sa'tana, a Saurornithanta.

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.

Culture[]

Khuenaten vs Zillum

Zillum, a famous Mortalitas battles with Khuenaten.

The Mortalitas are a frightening and imposing race in battle, though in peace times, they are generally tolerant of other cultures, though alien species on Mortalitas worlds may be tolerated but they are generally not made welcome. However, this depends on the individual. As a species, they have few arch enemies, though they are still quite prejudiced against the Libertus after many decades of battle, only recently resolved with the formation of the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus.

Mortalitas society is rather martial compared to many other Cyrannian cultures, with everyone, females included expected to have some degree of fighting prowess. In warfare, they are unstoppable, with the average Mortalitas having a great knowledge of stragedy and tactics. A highly disciplined people, the Mortalitas may appear evil to other races, but this is relative, they are not one homogenous people anymore than other cultures.

However, while the propaganda set against them during the Great Cyrannus War 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.

Individuals[]

Queen Moch-Na

Moch-Na is the long time ruler of the Mortalitas, having ruled for about two hundred and ten years since the death of her mother, the former queen. Regal, stately and at times, vicious, Moch-Na is still considered to be relatively beautiful among her people, and her charisma and popularity among the Mortalitas make her a great ruler. She has made much of the decisions of the Mortalitas during her reign, such as aiding the Trucinex in their war, joining the Imperial Alliance, and most recently, the Mortalitas' entry into the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus. She remains a strong supporter of Tyrómairon, and is believed to be currently seeking the position of Grand Mandator of the Unknown Regions, a coveted region of space.

Moravilon

Moravilon was a feared and dreadful Mortalitas officer. Moravilon did not care for the ideals of the Confederacy, and his only motivation is the destruction of his enemies.

Moravilon was known for his deep convictions and believes, and was not looked upon as merciful by his unfortunate enemies and victims. Moravilon had a close relationship with Zillum and the two often worked and conspired together. Moravilon was one of the most senior officers in the Confederate Navy and he commanded many ships, from his flagship, the Affluent a large Providence-class Dreadnought. He later died at the hands of Helo Roslia.

Mortikran

Mortikran is a Mortalitas who served both the Confederacy of Allied Systems and the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus. Dreaded, brutal and ruthless he is a capable officer and commander of both army and naval forces.

During his carreer he found his arch enemy, Claire Rambo, a Rambo sergeant but after some events found himself serving under her. This act made Mortikran unpredictable, and he wouldn't hesitate to kill her at any change given. Mortikran is a ruthless and mean person, not hesitating to sacrifice his own troops or ships if needed. Further more he is described as sadistic, as he likes to torture his preys or enemies by very painfull means, especialley if they first defy his will. Mortikran has proven himself to be a capable commander, using the overconfidence of his enemies to ensure his own victories. However when enraged, Mortikran looses all senses and will do everything for revenge, until he has calmed again he is making tactics again. This trait makes him a bit unpredictable, to both his allies and foes.

Zillum

Zillum is a cold and merciless Mortalitas with absolutely no mercy toward his adverseries, especially since his supposed death at the Battle of Capricaerón during the Great Cyrannus War's first year. When he mysteriously returned in a brand new body, his fighting prowess was greatly enhanced and he became one of the most proficient swordsmen in the entire universe, not to mention the Cyrannus Galaxy. Since his revival, he has been labelled by some of the most senior Cyrandia officials as an unstoppable force of nature, who was certainly not afraid of brutal tactics to achieve his goals. Zillum now serves the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus as the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy.

Dreadnoughts are massive, cylindrical 2500-meter-long warships with a pointed nose that tapers towards the superstructure. Rising from the stern portion of the vessel, is an elongated main communications and sensor pod.

A famous ship of this line was the Benevolent, under the command of General Zillom. It was involved in the Battle of Capricaerón but eventually had to retreat back to Imperial space as the CSA, Rambo and DCP defeated the Imperial Navy.
