Solvendari

During the war of refinement the Solvendari met humanity for the first time. This unfortunately was after their encounter with the Tuleons both the Remnants and their actual empire. Needless to say it didn't go well, Eons of protecting the border of their growing Galactic empire had made them terribly xenophobic. If it wasn't for the aid of the Care-Takers and the introduction of Mancers and Superhumans, aiding in Space and ground warfare respectfully. Humanity wouldn't been able to put up a fight as the Solvendari are highly intelligent, sport grand power armor and boast psychic abilities which only get stronger with the introduction of radiation into their system which there bodies don't seem to take nearly as much damage from. Sunlight is most common form of this. Many Solvendari sunbathe to feel enlightened as they are one with the universe.
Attempts at peace are often interrupted/ruin by the Tuleon Remnants making the Solvendari close up once more.
While graceful fighters in melee, they aren't particularly strong that's not to say they don't have a trick or two, using there psychic abilities in their martial arts is almost second nature to them to make up for any lacking strength. If one is unable to use their abilities however they will use their last trump card which is to drop kick an opponent assisted by their surprisingly powerful legs. Though survivable you don't want to be hit by one of these with the assistance of psychic force.
