MUST....CONTRIBUTE....
Race Name: Corax
Empire Name: Tenorias' Harbingers
Racial Description: The Corax are seven-foot tall anthropomorphic crows. They have four red eyes, and tough skin that can take small caliber bullets and small blades. They also possess flight, and average intelligence on par with an above-average human. Their lifespan averages between 150 and 180 years of age, with some reaching 200.
Societal Description:The Corax are a proud race, unwilling to submit towards any other, which has caused tensions with other races. This pride has caused infighting in the various clans within the race, as none are willing to submit to each other. However, they all agree on one thing; Tenorias is the only true god, and so many conflicts within the Corax are usually settled by offerings to the Almighty Crow. However, in recent years, one clan has managed to make all others swear fealty to it, the Ariochs, who, by sheer force of will and presence forced the others to back away and stand under it. Most of the Corax swear fealty to the Ariochs, who are also the most modernised, by others' standards, but are also fighting in themselves. Only time will tell if the Corax will be truly united.
Within recent centuries, the Ariochs have marched technology forward, if at a slow pace, and recently acquired FTL technology. The current diplomatic situation between them and the rest of the Corax is understandably very tense: the technology is very valuable to the scheming lesser clans.
Power Structure: The most stable clan, Ariochs, rule. They are a senate sort of system. The rest of the Corax tend to be based on a feudal system of rule.
Power: The Ariochs are a theocracy, as are all the other clans.
Strengths: Physically strong, capable of flight, highly intelligent
Weaknesses: Proud, arrogant, stubborn, unwilling to negotiate, belligerent, only recently entered the space age.
((There. I've specified the fact that they are schizo-tech using belligerent arrogant crow people.))
