'''Homeworld:''' [[Ga'ter]]

During this period technological advances were few and usually had to do with tools, food collection, weapons or war. With the rise of the tribal system large areas became more secure. It provided the stable environment needed for more advanced discoveries. Now true the Ga'teran people will never be mistaken for scolars. In fact almost all their advances in technology have to do with making life easier, solving some engineering problem or creating a better tool, weapon to handle a specific job.

It was at about this same time that they learned that they were not the only race in the cosmos. Contact was made with a strange looking species that came from the stars. A race that looked weird, with lots of eye's and strange tentecle like arms. The aliens landed and greeted the Ga'teran people, who promptly attacked and killed them.

The result was the creation of the arena matches, first blood battles and a new modified, controled and regulated system for war was created. It allowed them to grow and expand. Not just in population, but in ideas and technology advances.  

With the alien ship to study they made some astounding advances. Their technology advanced so fast that they were building crude star ships with in 10 years, haveing made over 250 years of scientific advancements during those same 10 years.  

Part of this included a number of wars. The first war resulted in the [[Jeuws]] being the first alien race to feel the iron heel of the Ga'teran war machine and become slaves.  

The length of each term of service will differ for each and ever representative. The length of each reps term is determined by the size of his tribe. The bigger the tribe the longer he will hold office dureing his turn on one of the councils. In order to determine this factor, the size of the tribe is divided by 1/2 a million. Any fractions are rounded up. So for any tribe that has less than 500,000 members they will only serve 1 month. There are over 30 tribes to which this applies. For some of the bigger tribes like the Adillee, their representative would serve for 41 months as they have just over 20 million tribe members.

As a race the Ga'teran male has wide shoulders, a deep chest and well developed arm and leg muscles. The neck is short and very heavily muscled. They have sharp claws on their hands and feet. They have no nose, just 2 perpindicular slits for breathing. They have no ears, instead they have two pale grey sections of sound sensitive skin where their ears should have been. The teeth are extremely sharp and pointed and their skin is very thick and tough, just like a crocodile. As for skin tone for the most part it is gray with some individuals haveing darker or lighter hides than others. While intelligent, it is with an animals cunning more so than true intelligence.

Fortunately for the Ga'teran people when they reproduce a female will usually lay about 10 to 20 eggs. They can do this usually once a year and are able to continue produceing offspring for close to 25 to 30 years. If it was not for this their old customs of blood mad rages and constant combat between the families and tribes might have killed off their race.
