Orcasis

The Orcasis are a species originating from the planet of Mohn in the Masqueraid System. The Orcasis are notable for staging a massive offensive against the Actyh Offensive that they lost, ending with their near extinction and the decimation of Mohn. The Orcasis were then forced into the Systems Alliance as a protected territory that, despite the mass protests made by the surviving Orcasis, no single group on Mohn or the surrounding worlds could fight against.

Basic Information

Anatomy

The Orcasis are known for having multiple arms - six in total, all extending from the same juncture. From there, the Orcasis are stocky, tall creatures that have a gruff appearance with hardened ridged skin and a thick tail with ridged spikes running all the way up to the neck. The Orcasis evolved on a small jungle planet, and as such have a secondary transparent eyelid to protect their horizontal slit eyes from the humidity.
The Orcasis are predominantly muscle, emphasized with their pronounced bipedal legs. All in all, the Orcasis are firm predators as shaped by their homeworld.

Civilization and Culture

History

Mohn is a small world, and as such the Orcasis never had the population of other species on their homeworld, and colonization of other worlds in their solar system occured much later into the Orcasis space age that other species as well. As such, when the Orcasis were discovered by the Actyhbahn no one really took notice. A formal invitation to join the Systems Alliance was sent to the various Orcasis nations on Mohn and things were assumed to be smooth sailing from there.
Only the Orcasis refused the invitation. When the Actyhbahn discovered the Orcasis' home system of Masqueraid, the Actyhbahn placed an outpost on one of the outer planets called Hygtin.
It wasn't long until it was found that the sun in the centre of the system, Masqueraid, is a slow rotating neutron star with a gravity just weak enough to support pulsar planets with life. Mohn and its intense, greenhouse cloud cover make life on Mohn possible, while other planets in the Masqueraid orbit produced super rare earth elements in incredible amounts.
Once the Hygtin outpost discovered this, the Actyhbahn prepared to invade the system and claim it for the Campaign. The Orcasis pulled within themselves as the full force of the Campaign descended on Masqueraid. When the SA Board heard of this, they extended another offer with an ultimatun; if the Orcasis joined the Systems Alliance then it would prevent the Campaign from progressing further into the system.
Once again, the Orcasis refused - they went to war. The Orcasis were decimated, and only when the Campaign were knocking on the doors of Mohn did the Orcasis admit defeat and officially enter the Systems Alliance, but the damage had already been done. They entered as a subsidiary race of the Actyhbahn and the entirety of the Masqueraid system is now considered Actyhbahn territory.
As a result, most Orcasis hold very anti SA and Campaign viewpoints, most of those in the intergalactic community distrustful of others and serving criminal lives.
They also lost a considerable chunk of their population during the Masqueraid Takeover, only just recently beginning to recover their population loss that was estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.
