History
In 2151, the Malurians were secretly mining the Akaali homeworld for veridium isotope using drilling equipment saturated with tetracyanate 622. The mining team was lead by Garos, who was disguised as an Akaali shopkeeper most of the time. Most of the other miners were also disguised as Akaali. The entrance to the mine was accessed through a secret passage in Garos' shop.
In 2267, their civilization, consisting of four billion people on the planet Malur, was entirely wiped out by the Earth space probe Nomad. The Malurians were being studied by a Federation science team under the direction of Dr. Manway at the time.
The Malurians were a warp capable species with a total population of four billion on four inhabited planets within the Malurian system. However once Nomad was finished their entire population within the Malurian system was wiped out.
The Federation offered to assiste the less than 1 million survivors who had been out of the system when it happened. They refused, demanding that they be left alone. Now after almost 120 years they are again expanding within their system.
Government
Many of their old ways were lost or abandoned in the wake of their almost becomeing exstinct. Now they have a military dictatoryship that shows no signs of ever being replaced.
Description
The Malurians are a scaly, thick gray-skinned, cold blooded species. Their teeth are razor sharp and they have sharp claws on their hands and toes. They have a smooth shaped head with no ears or nose, just slits where these organs are.
Physiology
Like lizards they have thick gray scaly skin that is fairly resistant to most normal forms of abrasion or laceration. Internal organs are built around a meat eating system altho they have adapted to be able to consume cooked meat and some plants.
Psychology
They believe it is their destiny to rule the stars. Any action is acceptable if it promotes the future and strength of their people.
Religion
No data regarding religion to be found within the Federation data base.
Mythology
No myths or legends to be found within the Federation data base.
Society
Their cities and communities are filthy. What matters is production, not only of raw material and manufactured goods but children. The government has installed a law requireing all couples to have at least 10 children.
Culture
While they were never really that interested in the arts to begin with the Malurians as a species no longer waste any resources on them.
Customs
None of their customs survived the attack of Nomad. In the wake of it's almost total extinction of their race adobted a few new ones. All adult males serve 10 years in the military and all adult females try to have at least 10 children.
Technology
They strive to increase their technologies however the main method is by theft. They will buy stolen technology from anyone and have an entire division of the government dedicated to off world industrial espionage. They prefer to use other species to do the actual stealing so as to prevent their involvement from becomeing known.
Economy
They will trade with anyone. They do not recognize any of the Federations laws and hold the Federation responsible for the destruction of their people. However they are smart enough to know that they can not flaunt their illiegal actions in the face of a superior power. They will use intermediaries when ever possible.
Military
They have retired most of the ships that survived the attempted extermination of their species. They have since started to build more modern craft useing a number of stolen technologies. It is a small fleet but very large considering their population.
