The '''Atedas''' (pron. a-TEE-da), sometimes known as '''Atedians''', are an amphibian species native to the [[planet]] [[Ialnys]], which are said to be among the galaxy's first spacefaring races. | |||

Their homeworld was located in the [[Outlying Territories]] of what became the [[Valcarian Imperial Republic]], until it was decimated by cataclysmic events. The Atedas then relocated to the planet [[Iena]], which they renamed [[Dronni IV]] and claimed it as their new homeworld. | |||

The Atedas are easily distinguished as humanoids with smooth blue-green skin, red eyes, lipless mouths and long thin noseless faces. Both females and males have hairless scalps, though both genders are easily distinguished. Their large red goggle-like eyes also have slit pupils. | |||

While usually taciturn, the species is stereotyped by many as greedy, ambitious, lazy and cowardly, with few exceptions. As one of the first cultures to develop warp-capable spacecraft (some even believe the first), Atedas-charted trade routes are among the oldest routes still in use in the [[VIR|Valcarian Empire]]. Even with the stereotype, Atedas are still known for their superior astro-navigational skills. More popularly, though, Atedas are known as criminals and crimelords. | |||
Early in their interstellar history, the Atedas founded an empire that was based in mainly in the [[Outlying Territories]] though it also covered a portion of the [[Par'tha Expanse]]. Their empire set the Atedas up as eternal overlords of the other species in their territory. At some point in history, the Ateda empire collapsed as a result of internal fighting between the various clans and the devastation of [[Ialnys]], which has never been sufficiently explained. Eventually, the fighting was resolved and the Atedas became governed by the [[Clans of the Ancients]] - currently known as the [[Ateda Grand Council]]. The Council oversaw the operations of all Ateda Clans, favoring none of them, but governing all of them fairly. | |||
