Lixiiak

The Lixiiak have become known as Porphyrions guardians. They have an enormous fleet and army stationed around their homeworld of Lixanos.

Biology and appearance
The Lixiiak are large reptilian humanoids with long thick necks, domed heads and mandibles. They have long tails and bodies that support four arms with four fingers and an opposable thumb. Lixiiak have powerful digitigrade legs to overcome the higher gravity of their world.

Males are generally larger than the females. Although their genetics are 75% reptilian, females give birth to live young after a year and a half of pregnancy.

There are genetically engineered Lixiiak called the Elites, that somewhat form a subspecies of the Lixiiak. They are modified to have greater bone durability, higher intelligence and strength and form the backbone of the Lixiiak military.

Society and culture
The Lixiiak live on one landmass and are led by an Emperor, each Emperor rules for as long as they are alive for before replaced by a successive offspring.

The Lixiiak are honourable and strongly entwined with one another. Each Lixiiak has tasks to perform as daily jobs and all are trained for combat and sent on regular deployments to space stations, cruisers and other planets.

History
The Lixiiak reside in the Central zone which means they were one of the first species to be discovered during First Contact.

During the early years of Lixiiak development there was much conflict over what should happen, as a result it was decided that there would be a massive democratic event in which an Emperor would be chosen from the people.

After many years of failed decision making, the first Emperor of Lixanos, Hurko Xarem, claimed the throne himsmelf, he had quietly amassed an army strong enough to deter the other conflicting Lixiiak and seize control. Though unorthodox and massively disputed for the first five years since his coronation, the Emperor notably became a good leader and over a span of fifteen years of appropriate decision making, formed a powerful empire with the loyalty of the Lixiiak at his back.

For a long period of time the Lixiiak kept to themselves, researching and developing technologies, warships, weapons and methods of sustainability, but when Carlina was attacked Emperor Hurko Xarem called for an intervention. As a result of successfully driving off the threat of invasion an alliance was formed with Carlina which, after some time, developed into the Carli-Arid Syndicate.
