[b]CIVILIZATION DESCRIPTION[/b]:

[hider=Species History and Current Government] The Resomi evolved on a freezing world almost outside of the Goldilocks zone, named Sirisai. Their planet was flat and snowy, and massive worldwide blizzards were considered common. As a single Resomi would be killed alone, they grew into pack hunters. Most prey was much, much, larger then them, however. A single injury from one of the quarries would mean death to a Resomi. As a result, they learned clever tactics, and often would devise strategies to take their prey down without themselves getting wounded.

Despite these harsh conditions, the Resomi prospered as a race. Hundreds upon hundreds of new cultures sprung up, and slowly, but surely, they advanced forwards. From carriages to automobiles, from automobiles to simple satellites, they bent Sirisai to their whims. Empires rose and fell on Sirisai's soil, and nations bickered and traded. It was inevitable that they would leave their cradle, inevitable that they would launch themselves into the unforgiving depths of space.

It was the New League of Empires that put forth the effort to orbitally construct the Sheili, or Endeavor. Made of the Empire of Shelishi, the Niiserian Empire, and the people of Imperial Schale, the New League of Empires is the foremost political and military power on Sirisai. While rather fractured, with infighting and bickering, it remains the top dog on a food chain of nations and empires. It is well expected that the Resomi will fight each other as much as they fight alien races, and it shows. They produce geniuses, the great merchants, the great industrialists. Bitter trade conflict has lead to manufacturing competition, and they are in a constant race to improve.

These trade conflicts are also an important part of Resomi culture. Their world relies on trade, no one nation truly self sufficient. As such, they have grown into savvy traders and merchants. However, mercantilism is still a factor of life of their world. The great empires fight for what they consider limited wealth, and the smaller nations are caught in the middle. Nationalism is still a present force, a war a chance to prove an empire's glory.

The New League of Empires is divided into three sectors: The security council, the economic council, and the administrative council. Each contains representatives from the great empires of Sirisai, and even a few representatives here and there from lucky minor nations. Each representative gets single vote. None of the empires are forbidden from warfare, however, and more often than not a decision will lead to a war between two disagreeing council-affiliated empires.[/hider]

[hider=Species Information] They evolved for a very cold and very barren world, almost outside of the Goldilocks zone and unfit for life as humanity understands it. Because of this, their skin is a fine insulator and many of their internal processes are not particularly energy-efficient; they cannot cope well at all with high temperatures. Their eyes are poorly suited to ambient light levels that a human would consider normal, as they evolved as pack hunters in near-constant darkness.

Their hearing is exceptionally sensitive to the point that they can detect a person moving on the other side of a wall, but comes at the cost of being extremely vulnerable to sonic weaponry like flashbangs. This powerful hearing makes up for their lack of long-distance or high-accuracy eyesight.

The Resomi are very small, rarely reaching more than 3-4'/1m in height, and weigh less than 90lbs/40kg. They have rapid metabolisms and very efficient digestive systems. A fair average height for them is 2 feet. Their bones are also very weak, hailing to their avian nature. All in all they are a fast and clever, but incredibly fragile and tiny species.[/hider]
