Norvaz

The Norvaz are a brute race from the volcanic, hellish world of Narviza.

Norvaz Biology
Coming from the hot, hellish and radioactive planet of Narviza the Norvaz exhibit some unique traits un-common in other races.

They are entirely immune to solar radiation, this is due to their hyper-active parent star and the close proximity of their planet, in addition to it's weak magnetic field. They developed over time tougher skin, more adapted eyesight as well as stronger bodies to cope with the stress of tidal forces and heating.

They stand on average a titanic 6'11, one of the highest recorded average heights for all of Orii's races. They're also one of the strongest, capable of lifting 5x that of their body weight on average.

They're naturally a hostile race, often baring their teeth or snarling at any incoming enemies, or even their own kind.

Norvaz History
The Norvaz story begins on the over-heated, hyper-volcanically active planet of Narviza, one of the last places you'd expect life to come about. Yet, Narviza has maintained a 'healthy' eco-system of heat-resistant flora and fauna cycles for most of it's existence. Though the planet is practically a massive super-volcano, every 200 million years it's surface is entirely wiped by lava flow from it's biggest super-volcano 'Harhk'. It is unknown of Narviza was home to intelligent life prior to the Norvaz, as all previous history was wiped by the eruptions, they can only see 190 million years into the past.

They are a brutal, ruthless race. They enslaved and sold their own people from the very beginning. Dictatorships rocked the planet's surface as people stabbed each other for what little waters remained in the calmer regions of Narviza. Time was running out, as were resources as they burned through every last bit they had to murder each other for the last remaining food and water. Bright lights came in the sky one day as spaceships landed in their cities, and the Orien army stepped out. Though they originally planned to exterminate the Norvaz for their mineral-rich planet, they struck a deal with 2 of Narviza's countries and enlisted both populations into their military while the other 3 billion people were slaughtered or enslaved.

The Norvaz's main base of command is their homeworld, where one of the Orien fleets resides and watches over the slave-driven mineral outposts that dot the now ruined planet's surface. They are often used as soldiers to fight the Orien's battles, being deployed before the Orien send out their own soldiers, though they only send Orien if necessary.

The Norvaz show no interest in joining the 'good' community of races, and are very xenophobic to most other races.

Additional
'Harhk' means 'Death' in the Norvazi language 'Dekk'.
