Hyvian

The Hyvian are a species created by awoken nebula gods called the Ethereal. They were bipedal mammals and were similar in appearance to the Terran species and later the Human species that arrived in the system in 2859 PPW.

The Hyvian were native to the planet Vian in the Tarvak system and were technologically advanced and highly moralised thanks to their Ethereal creators.

Biology and appearance
The Hyvian are an intelligent, sentient species that originated on Vian but quickly made themselves known in the Edge systems and the Lower Porphyrion systems.

Like Humans, the Hyvian had arms, hands, fingers, legs and feet, however, the bones of Hyvian were five times stronger than those of Humans and other humanoid beings in the galaxy meaning it was very rare for Hyvian to break bones (unless there was a fight with another Hyvian or a exceptionally strong species).

Hyvians have an excpetional regenerative ability that allows for them to have lifespans averaging aroung 300 years.

They conversed with one another in their own language, Hyvic, but they quickly learnt the language spoken in the Fozran sector and later the language brought by the Humans.

Their skin ranged from tan to silver and pale.

Society and Culture
In the Hyvian culture each person was allocated one of the four Ethereal creators depending on the month during which they were born.

The Hyvian live in large cities formed from skyscrapers. The planet has two landmasses each has an Academy which is used to teach Hyvians aged 3 years to 25 years.

The Hyvian have no recorded history of civil wars, perhaps because they obeyed rules implemented by the Ethereal to the First Hyvians. However, they are fully prepared for - and capable of starting - a war.

The Hyvian have come to discover that throughout their lives they will only ever have one partner that is completely compatible with them through genetics. Due to this only strong genes are ever passed down through the generations. A Hyvian will often meet their lifelong partner at a young age and in someways this is why the Academies were constructed. It is known that if a Hyvian fails to find a partner during this time their Ethereal guardian will guide them until they do.

In the case of Denver Xanders, his connection to his Ethereal was severed after he was placed into stasis, this ultimately allowed for him to successfully mate with Jeanne Elizabeth and produce children. This in turn led to the conclusion that Hyvians unique genetic compatibility to one partner is lost when out of touch with their ethereal for long periods of time.
