In Game Name:Ariau Torem
Race Name:Terran
Description:The people of Earth were long notorious for their selfish, planet destroying behavior. In the year of 2439, savage beings from unknown space invaded the planet, tossing it into an incredibly long and deadly war. The enemies countlessly broke past Human orbital defences, making trips to the surface and kidnapping, and killing thousands of people. Laser and missle barages constantly kept the human population in fear. The Humans were dropped to an extremely low population, leaving only a few million alive. The Human population was eventually divided into two. On one side were the selfish people, who wanted only to save their own lives. These people gave information to the enemy, stole, killed, spied, and many other decietful things. The other side of the population consisted of the "real" Humans. These people believed in morality, and freedom beyond the modern belief of what it was. Earth decided to launch a groundbreaking assault on the enemy fleet. However, due to an inside leak, their plan was discovered. The enemy launched nukes when Earth's fleet was closest together. Near 3/4 of the fleet was annihalated, while many other ships were left disabled or damaged. The Fleet Admiral and Commander in Chief had been killed. The Fleet was in complete dissaray. The leak was discovered and killed, and the ranking officers organized an escape route. Over the span of 3 days, the remaining capital ships and destroyers sent shuttles and troops to the planets surface. Most of the population was rescued, and the Fleet used to the wreckage and chaos of the leftover battle to sneak to a clear spot of space. They used uncharted jump coordinates to get them somewhere where they could start a new life. They ended up on an Earth-like planet which they called Verpos. The Terrans desire to start a new life of away from the uncorrupted values of their human predecesors.

In game name: Tanken Kushi
Race Name: Minzoku
Description: From the earliest point in recorded history, the Minzoku had been a very war-like race, constantly waging battles between tribes and factions. This severely limited their population growth, and their effects on nearby races were insignificant. After thousands of years of fighting, one generation of warriors decided that they no longer wished to battle. This sentiment eventually permeated more than half of the entire race, who opted for a pursuit of knowledge rather than power or territory.

Because a large number of Minzoku still felt that they were suited for nothing more than fighting, their more peaceful brethren sought to improve their defensive capabilities. Whenever the warriors found ways to penetrate their defenses, they came up with increasingly advanced measures to keep their neighbors at bay. The peaceful Minzoku were the first to create force-emitting technology which they eventually used to make shields around their cities.

By this point in time, the warrior Minzoku had formed their own groups of military researchers so that they could continue to wage war with the 'crazy pacifists.' A little over a hundred years after the peaceful Minzoku developed force fields, the warrior Minzoku had devised a prototype force-emitting weapon that they hoped would be able to pierce or negate their targets' shields.

Around this time, the planet came under siege by invaders from another star system. They had similar shielding technology to the peaceful Minzoku and already-working energy weapons that could penetrate them with little trouble. They gradually conquered a large portion of the planet thanks to the fact that the peaceful Minzoku possessed no weapons that could pierce the enemy's shields, while the warrior Minzoku possessed no defense against the invader's ballistic weaponry.

Through secret peace meetings and delegations, the two factions of Minzoku joined forces to repel the invading force. Soon after the short war was over, the factions agreed to join as one permanently and form a single government lest they be caught off guard by another invasion. Over time, the military branch became less prominent, and the search for higher knowledge was resumed. Today, becoming a teacher on any level is considered a government position.
