[h1][center]United Falianth Collective[/center][/h1]

[hider=Species] Falianth are an amphibian race of humanoids that stand between five and six feet in height. They have a smooth skin that always has the look of being damp and wet to the touch even though their skin drys fast after being in contact with water. A few of the leading external characteristics of the race is their range of skin color ranging from deep green to a purple color and every color in between, another characteristic would be their faces which do not have a nose but instead two slits above a thin flap of skin that covers their mouth. Their eyes are more reptilian in nature as their iris has a serpentine look to it and their also do not have eyelids which are replaces with a thin see-through membrane that can be pulled over the eye for protection and the prevent them from drying out. Underneath the flap of skin covering their mouths is a double row of pointed teeth that were used for tearing at their food rather than chewing. The final external characteristics that stand out would be the webbing that is on their feet that can be retracted for easier walking on land and finally two massive rows of gills on their chest taking up over half of their sides, that rest over where the lungs are located. 

Their internal structure is not much different than humans in that they have one heart, two lungs and other similar organs. The differences come from how these organs can function, for example the lungs are only used on land and take a back seat to the large gills they use when they are underwater. The Falianth are a race affected by sexually dimorphism as the males show signs of developing more muscles and are broader while the females are more slim and show more curves though both sexes do not grow any facial hair and rather distinguish themselves by decorating their bodies with various tattooed and jewelry.

Description of government: The Falianth Collective is a government built upon the backs of the nine clans. The nine clans are the ruling body with each holding considerable power that can normally never be overruled by the other clans. Each clan has power over an entire system with their home system of Fai being a neutral system that is open to all clans without consequence.  

Each of the clans is lead by a Master Splicer who serves as their most recognized genius as well as most decorated scientist.

[hider=Technological Overview] The epicenter of the United Falianth Collective technology is the use of gene manipulation to solve their problems. In the early history of the Falianth the only solutions to problems was through the few selected that were able to use magic to help those around them, but through specific breeding of certain genes they have spread the use of magic to around ninety percent of the population. This genetic breeding developed hand in hand with advances in technology allowing for easier identification of desired traits and manipulation. 

It wasn't long before the Falianth were creating their own genetically modified creatures designed to preform specific tasks. They called this fusion of magic and technology Genemancy as they continued to perfect their craft until they felt comfortable to use this on themselves to cure their various illnesses. There is a variation of this technology that the Falianth use as a sort of individualism where they mark their bodies with a form of bio luminescent tattoos that look very similar to human tribal tattoos. 

When it comes to starships and other space technology the Falianth actually grow their large warships and transportation ships. Starships and even terrestrial ships are a hybrid of both biological and technological design. Terrestrial ships and starfighters on the outside has a sleek exterior design with a long angled body, two wings and a single propulsion engine at the rear. Even though the outside looks like a modern ship by most races standards the inside looks like a living organism, there is a single seat for the pilot with two slots that look like mouths where the pilot places his hands to control the ship, this is completed by a tendril with a needle at the end at the back of the pilot's seat that is attached to a cluster of nerves in the pilot to control the ship with ease.

Cultural Overview: Falianth Culture is primarily built on the pursuit of perfection. Their extensive knowledge in gene manipulation has allowed them to eradicate most harmful diseases and to extend their lives significantly. This manipulation has also allowed the Falianth to express themselves from each other with small genetic alterations along with the differences shown by their various tattoos. 

The Collective has mixed views on other races that fill the galaxy. Many see them as resources that can be exploited to farther their research into genetic manipulation and the ultimate goal of immortal perfection, while others see them as allies that can further their understanding of the universe and also help with their research. One thing that is understood by both factions is that state and trade secrets on the creation of their genemancy must not be leaked to other races under any circumstances. 

Normal Falianth know mostly a life of luxury as all hard labor is done by grown workers that are something of a subspecies that is grown through genetic manipulation for the soul purpose of servitude. All life that is created by the Falianth is viewed as expendable as they are not actually seen as living creatures and are just as easily thrown away and sold between Falianth as pieces of equipment.
