Gry

The Gry are the native species of the planet EDIT in the EDIT system. They have not developed full space travel as it is too awkward for lifeforms of their shape to design comfortable vessels, but they are highly knowledgeable of galactic affairs and even have seats of responsibility in important conferences in other allied systems.

Biology and appearance
The Gry are a species of Therapods with mammalian characteristics like those of felines. Gry are cold blooded omnivores with a coat of fur.

Their forearms, unlike regular Therapods, are much longer with five fingered hands capable of grabbing and holding onto things. Each hand has two thumbs, one on either side, and three central fingers.

Females are generally smaller than the males and have a series of mammary glands along their underside for feeding their young which, like mammals, are born live in litters of four to seven young.

Jungle adapted Gry have darker fur colours whereas desert adapted members have lighter fur.

Communities
The Gry live in large technologically advanced cities, each family of Gry is strongly bonded to the next which forms an overall network of family-like relationships that spread throughout the regions of their planet.

There are no records in Gry archives of wars of any kind, leading to other species deeming them Porphyrions pacifists as they are the only known species without large scale documented conflict.

Although pacifists it had been recorded that Gry were once cannibals, detailed historical documents speaks of the desert Gry to hunt, kill and eat other Gry families when the particularly cold winters cause a shortage of food.

History
The Gry live in a system located within the Edge region.
