The Isari Combine

Stardate: 2900

Andoni
Valravn System

"May our ascendance into the stars be most bountiful, may it enlighten us to that which hides amongst the dark." The Isari, donned in full ceremonial robes intoned as his outstretched hands clutched a red candle over the lip of the platform upon which he stood. Below this thin platform spanned the capital city of Korthal, the jewel of Andoni with it's splendid and ornate spires and constructs of golds, greys and reds, some even matching or stretching further into the sky than the High Palace. The center of Isari governance from where the Hierarch now stood.

The flame held between his claws flickered in the high winds several thousand feet above the ground but would never extinguish.
"To find prosperity, to kindle a flame of civilization amidst the darkness which shall stand the test of time. Do we so offer ourselves to the expanse of space." The Isari continued as he placed the eternal candle upon the plinth of the altar before him. A red-stone block inset with a bright candle sat upon a plinth of grey stone adorned in streams of red parchment which fluttered in the wayward winds. Each parchment detailed a deed of the Isari people, ranging from the tribal wars which raked the planet centuries prior to the forming of the combine. An entire nation's history adorned the floating altar as it lay suspended by three small propulsion thrusters which hummed tirelessly as they spat out their yellow flame to keep afloat.

The sounds of armoured feet against metal told the Hierarch whom kept his gaze to the altar, that a messenger had arrived bearing news he already knew. The Isari turned his gaze instead to the skies where a long and slender ship awaited, it's slender and eloquent hull made the ship a spectacle to behold. The great golden face of a Rishok, a large predatory bird native to Andoni adorned the vessel's fore with a large protruding beak.

"Hierarch Taldaris. The Pilgrim is ready, all is working optimally and the crews and surveyors remain optimistic." A voice warbled through the respirator helm of an Isari in full battle-dress.

"Then let us ascend to the realm above." The clear voice of the Hierarch returned.

There would be no grand announcement, no large telescreen from which to view the spectacle or grand speech. Though all on the planet knew of the importance of this day, they instead looked to the heavens where hundreds of floating lanterns lit the sunset sky. Far above, the The Pilgrim left a streak of fire across the skies as it blinked from orbit.

The Isari Combine had begun their climb to the stars.

CIVILIZATION DESCRIPTION:

Ecology

Physical Characteristics
The Isari are Bipedal humanoids evolved from avian creatures on their homeworld of Andoni. Featuring a body covered in keratin feathers which appear thicker and in more abundance towards the head and along the arms which provides not only warmth but protection from the elements. Much like their earthen counterparts, all Isari have beaks with sharp ridges perfect for grinding and ripping food, representing their carnivorous diet while making their avian heritage clear to all. The Isari are a warmblooded species capable of regulating their own blood temperature within a four chambered heart.

Artist's rendition of an Isari without their battledress.

Standing on average around 6'2" - 6'8" Isari are impressively tall, despite this they remain deceptively lighter in weight than their height might have one believe. Isari feet are ended with three strong talon-like claws with a fourth claw in the back while their hands feature 4 digits and a thumb ended with similar claws.

Psychology
Isari have a well-known dedication to honour, and how deeply rooted this trait is remains debatable. However, all Isari tend to view all living things as deserving of courtesy and respect. To an Isari honour is more than a word. Cowardice is not simply undesirable, it is considered outright repulsive as enforced by the Seven Tenants.

Despite a dedication to excellence and high standards which might even be viewed as arrogance or proudness by others. The Isari as it were, 'wear their hearts on their sleeves' and typically do not hide their emotion. They harbour a certain enthusiasm towards life and success, to fail is simply a matter of trying again with a stronger drive to improve one's self. To be reserved or timid is a rare thing amongst Isari, for the Tenants upon which they live by demand the utmost trust in those around them, for the group reflects the individual.

Culture

The Seven Tenants

Integrity - Be acutely honest throughout your dealings with all people. Believe in justice, not from others but yourself. To the true warrior, all points of view should be deeply considered regarding honesty, justice and integrity.

Respect - True warriors have no reason to be cruel. They do not need to prove their strength. Warriors are courteous even to their enemies. Warriors are not only respected for their strength in battle, but also by their dealings with others.

Heroic Courage - Hiding like a coward is not living at all. A true warrior must have heroic courage. It is absolutely risky, it is risking life completely, fully and wonderfully.

Honour - Warriors have only one judge of honour and character, and it is themselves. Decisions they make and how these decisions are carried out is a reflection of whom they truly are.

Compassion - Through intense training and hard work the true warrior becomes quick and strong. They are not as most people. They develop a power that must be used for good. They have compassion, they help their fellows whenever they can.

Honest and Sincerity - When warriors say that they will perform an action, it is as good as done. Nothing will stop them from completing their word.

Duty and Loyalty - Warriors are responsible for everything that they have done and everything that they have said, and all of the consequences that follow. For everyone that they are responsible for, they shall remain fiercely true.
