The Trogarai

Background

The Trogarai were the third extraterrestrial sapients encountered by humanity, when a fleet of warships transitioned into Martian space in 2144, touching off the Interstellar War.

Distinguishing Features

Trogai are endothermic bipeds, similar to Terran humans in most respects. This is because they are derived from ancient homo sapiens stock, gathered
from Earth and removed to Trogar millenia ago by an as-yet-unknown starfaring species.

Trogarai physiology has been modified to adapt them to their arid homeworld. They tend to be tall and long-limbed, with copper-colored skin, dark
hair and eyes, and large pointed ears.

Trogarai society is based around clan-like extended family units called Houses. There is much competition for status between Houses, and in times past
this competition could often flare up into open warfare.
