Valcarian: Difference between revisions

The Valcarian are a humanoid race, very similar in feature to Humans. Their gray skin, black eyes and blue hair do differentiate them, however. They come from the second planet in the Valcarian star system, virtually at the heart of their empire. They have expanded to inhabit and control every planet in their system, and have hundreds of colonies in outlying systems. A little over a thousand years ago, the Valcarian burst forth from their homeworld on a mission of exploration within their own star system. Two hundred years later, they finally left their overpopulated system in search of suitable systems to settle and provide much needed resources. For the next hundred years the Valcarian easily conquered their neighbors. A third of them were totally wiped out while the rest became subject worlds, providing annual tithes to the Valcarian. Once those planets had been stripped bare, the inhabitants were shipped off to work as slaves on new planets the Valcarian had conquered in the mean time. The republic kept on growing until the Valcarian had conquered or colonized over 500 worlds.

At this point, two hundred years ago, the republic was spreading faster than it should have. The Valcarian had moved coreward and encountered the Esidran Empire. At the same time, several enslaved races, independent of one another, attempted to fight back and regain their freedom. After 50 years the Valcarian were forced to sign a ceasefire with the Esidran, in order to better focus on their internal struggles. After twenty years of rebellions, the empire was once again at peace. It did not last for long.
