The Garze Imperium

Garze
The Garze hail from Gennendranna, a remote moon located in Garze Space.

Garze Biology
The Garze are a race of humanoid yellow creatures that use starlight for energy, hailing from Gennendranna. The race are the only race that boasts the term 'Garzesynthetic'. Their existence is an anomaly, due to unknown reasons the species rarely sleeps, instead they convert solar rays into energy for themselves rather than relying on sleep to do so. Their skin, hair and eye color is always yellow which is somewhat due to a lack of genetic diversity in their race. They have 2 hearts, 2 on either side of their chest which is a unique trait exclusive to the Garze themselves.

The Garze are fairly adaptable, especially to most all cold climates as their moon is quite a frigid, irradiated place. They had to adapt to little food availability, as a result they have a very strict and small diet, primarily consisting of small fruits or herbs that grew along the ethane and methane rivers or small seas spread about on Gennendranna. The Garze are typically very resilient, but without access to sunlight or artificial sunlight their immune systems will be crippled, they'll be drained of energy which will eventually cause them to slip into a coma and eventually, die.

The Garze are quite unique in that their race isn't particularly genetically diverse, so most of their populous consists of people most people would call 'attractive'.

Garze History
The Garze's societies begin several thousand years ago, primarily consisting of corrupt Monarchies which in the modern age evolved into merciless dictatorships. The Garze have an arrogance about them, with many violent tendencies. Gennendranna's limited resources was a stressed point by many planetary scientists, so when many nations ran out of resources they simply decided to go get some by annexing and warring with nearby nations. This brutal cycle of death known as the 'Resource Trials' lasted for nearly 1,000 years, which caused many famines and the death of 2 billion Garze in the process.

Until, there was insurgents that began to pop up around the world, since not too many people were particularly fond of starvation and no civil rights. Within a decade, Garze's world was overthrown and a new story in their history began, the Republic of Gennendranna. All alone in the universe, they thought. They went on to develop basic interstellar travel, which they used to colonize other neighboring moons of Gennendranna's host gas giant of Sahensen. The Republic of Gennedranna was steadily draining resources, which was the perfect time for greedy politicians to seize power and begin their cycle of dictatorships again. But, this time they united into the Garze Imperium. They developed FTL technology, and went on to colonize over 30 solar systems in the coming decades, founding colonies like Vaelaria. Their people oppressed, but well-fed and cared for, they were for the most part content in their new lives.

Then, the Garze met the Neraavians, contacted them and found that they weren't alone after all. The Neraavians and the Garze formed The Allied Pact, then began to aid the Neraavians in the construction of Atlas. Though, remaining arrogant in their ways it appears the Garze have come to accept cooperation with other races is necessary for their survival if and when a threat may appear.

The Garze Forces
The Garze have 8 total fleets, the 1st fleet always helping guard Atlas. There are several different kinds of ships you'll see among the official naval fleets.

The Resource Trials
The Resource Trials was a series of bloody, and violent wars for power as well as resources on the Garze homeworld of Gennendranna. It all started with the Federation of Eastern Gennendranna that began annexing it's neighboring nations for resources to feed it's dying population of nearly 2 billion inhabitants, many other countries soon joined in the genocide against their own kind as everyone was in an all out brawl for resources. People killed, lives destroyed, countries dissolved, Gennendranna further unrecognizable from just a thousand years before, the population was understandably unhappy about what was happening to their beloved kind and world.

So, the Garze Resistance was formed in secret, as over 2 years they slowly recruited many from around the world to join their Resistance. Slowly and quietly, they managed to gain access to weaponry, which they then spread around the world to their insurgents. Riots began to occur as they rallied the people behind them, and they began to seize nations' capitols one by one as the oppressive governments collapsed in front of them. The living leaders were exiled to a small island, where they were all killed in an ensuing storm not but 3 years after the warring had ended. The trials had ended 992 years after it began, with nearly 2 and a half billion innocent lives lost.
