As a species, they are strangely uniformly lean and close to the same height, the abnormally shaped and tall aurolians are quite a rare sight even for their own kind, making up only 1% of the population. The Aurolians are also divided into several ethnic groups, the baseline Yesh, with their light green skin-tones, the Gray Dacri, the Crimson Ulaq, the pale blue Kalir, the Black Hukuv, and the Orange Jasa. From outside, one can have some difficulty in distinguishing between individual Aurolians if one was a male or female, however, females tend to have a more slender build compared to a male, and of course how they sound and speak. The Aurolian oral cavity consists of a multitude of sharp canines, reflecting the carnivorous nature of the species. Aurlian reproduction is quite similar to earthen amphibians, in which the Female will lay a small clutch of eggs, the usual number being up to three. They are then placed into the Incubation Nest, where they are then fertilized. To fully gestate will take up to eight months before they are set free from the nest and ready to hatch.

In the distant past, Aurolius was once a world divided among hundreds of nationstates, a world wrecked by a catastrophic global war that had lasted for over two centuries, this dark period of their history has become known as the Great Unification Era. The conflict sparked between two of the ruling superpowers of the World, the Continental Union of Xauis, and the Empire of Dacri, had been engaged a decade long Cold War before hostilities were finally at their boiling point, all out war was officially declared. Soon, most of the countries were pulled into the conflict, absorbed by the two warring powers in their struggle for supremacy. As the decades pass, the two powers had engulfed the world, eventually, the powers themselves were wrought by civil war, almost to the point of collapse. The first war came to an end as both nations had collapsed, leaving Aurolius in shambles. For half a century, the world was fought over by the remaining warlords who had held together what was left of civilization. The Empire's founding begun with one particular Warlord, Calos, the Great-Great Grandson of the Dracri Emperor. He sought to bring the world to what it was before, and to do so under one nation, one people. He and a coalition of allied warlords set off to begin the Unification War, proclaiming themselves the Aurlius Empire. In a world broken, the united forces of the Imperial Warlords was more then enough strength to unify the world within a century. And so begun a new age, Calos III, Grandson of the First Emperor proclaimed the new imperial calendar, Year one After Unification. What followed would be a Golden Age for the New Empire. A thousand years have passed since then, order has been restored, the aurolians have ventured beyond their homeworld, exploring and and observing the worlds of their system, and have begun plans for mass colonization. However in the recent decades, the Empire has grown very aggressive, once they discovered the Iskaru, their not-so-distant brethren on one of Aurolius' Moons of Ishkaar. Had instantly launched a campaign to conquer them in a brief, but bloody war. In their increased power-hungry aggression, the Star Empire of Aurolius plans on further spreading it's influence beyond other star systems, by force if necessary. [/center]
