The Kodians

Species: Kodians
Homeworld: Gashmere
Government: The General Assembly of Gashmere.

General Information: The Kodians are a peaceful species of Ursoids who relatively keep to themselves and are known for their highly advanced medical cybernetics and unbiased diplomats. Having lived this way for countless millenia, the Kodians have never been involved in any sort of galatic war, but have had to put down rebellions started by others who have visited their planet.

Appearance: Hulking, bear-like creatures that vary in height from seven to twelve tall and weigh around eight hundred pounds to one ton. They have long claws which have developed to be able to manipulate items much like fingers. Their fur varies from the color of brown, black, gray, white and some odd shades such as blue, green or even the odd blood red. Eyes are typically black or brown.

Culture: The average Kodian will spend his childhood learning the basics of morals, philosophy and self-defense. When they reach their pre-teen years, they are given a choice in which wish to study for their profession. From then on, schooling lasts until the age of 25 in which they are allowed to continue their education or search for a job. A great love for the arts have encouraged them to create one of the galaxy's largest school for the arts.

Military: The Gashmere Planetary Guard is a rather large military force, employing roughly 9% of the total population. The forces are divided between an Army and space-faring Navy. Due to the recklessness of outsiders, all non-Kodians must pass a rigid psychic and moral test before being allowed to travel on the planet.

Industry: The Kodians have taken steps in biomedical sciences which include high-quality prosthetic cybernetics and genetic engineering. Along with being highly advanced in the fields of personal defense, fine arts and social sciences.

I like it John. The claw-as-fingers concept is way cool. But the Kodians remind me too much of the Fenyarin To'Yaree warriors.

So... how attached are you to the Ursoid concept? I mean, I like giant talking bears as much as the next guy. My college's mascot is the Golden Bear and everything... ^_^;;
 
I don't see any problem with them being similar to the Fenyaro; in fact, they're sort of Fenyaro-inspired. John and I have discussed this when he first proposed the idea of the Kodians.

Population: 2.3 billion

(Clothing:) The main form of clothing on Gashmere is a pair of thick pants and long-sleeved T-shirt-shirt due to Gashmere being an icy planet.
(Music:) A mixture of folk and classical style music are the main genres of music listened to and produced on Gashmere.
(Cuisine:) As Ursoids, the Kodians are herbivores, mainly preferring a mixture of plants, berries, insects and fish. Spice sare often used in any course of the meal, including desert. The common drink with any meal is either water or a strong beer or mead like substance. A rare treat for any Kodian would be the large mantis-like predator know as the Rulian, a common threat to villages and unprotected citizens on the streets of Gashmere.

Military: The Gashmere Planetary Guard is a rather large military force, employing roughly 9% of the total population. The forces are divided between an Army and space-faring Navy. Due to the recklessness of outsiders, all non-Kodians must pass a rigid psychic and moral test before being allowed to travel on the planet. Strong bonds of brotherhood are encouraged among military units to increase moral during long expeditionary missions along with each member of the military taking a vow to willingly sacrifice their life in order to defend their home world are mandatory.

The main goal of the Plantery Guard is for protection of Gashmere and to be deployed to war torn areas to provide aid to the victims of war.

Politics: The General Assembly of Gashmere is a democratic state that encompasses the entire planet. It is one large body of representatives voted in every five years via popular vote of the people. Overseeing the General Assembly of Gashmere is a Chairperson who is elected every six years by the Assembly. The Chairpersons main responsibilities including putting out a set plan for everything the people and Assembly wish to accomplish during his/her term, greeting and determining the worth of alliances with alien governments, keeping the public informed on current events in the General Assembly and to act as a central figurehead in times of crisis.

At the moment, two factions within the Assembly are on the brink of starting a civil war on Gashmere. The two factions Alien Peace Council and Anti-Xenoist League are fighting amongst each other due to the current involvement of the Yamatai Star Army. Unless the current Chairperson can find a way to quell the flames of racism, it will only be a short time before war erupts. Currently, there are riots in several key cities across the planet and a few deaths that might be assassinations made by either of the groups trying to get their point across.

Industry: The Kodians have taken steps in biomedical sciences which include high-quality prosthetic cybernetics and genetic engineering. Along with being highly advanced in the fields of personal defense, fine arts and social sciences. Since their introduction to the Yamatai Star Empire, the Kodians have also begun to release some of the schematics for their planetary bombardment weaponry, including the brutally effective Ryurzian Acceleration Platform.
(Updated and such)
 
What's wrong with editing your first post with the amendments, and then leave another post just saying that you've changed it. It's better to look at that way.
 
Because John's cool like that. There could be differences between the two descriptions and he'd like to have the original to go back to.

This sounds like a job for Henry, SUPER DIPLOMAT. :D

Too bad neither John nor I have the time. :(
