The Zorilianites

Physiology: They are a mammalian race who are in the rodent family and largly resemble squirls, they stand 4 feet tall 4 inches and a centimeter, have bushy tails, 14 inch whiskers, and their fur is patches of black tan and brown with white from chest to lower belly. They are born in litters of no more then 4 late in the spring and are born either as a male or a female, and are breast fed until they are ready for smoothys, then solid food. They are highly intelligent and agile and though they aren't very strong compared to humans, when well exesized and working in large numbers have the energy to out perform most other mammalian reptilian or avian races in the known galaxy in manual labor. They don't easily get cold or hot, are capable of swimming, and jumping up to 10 feet high and running 18mph. They are quite capable of walking on 2 legs but prefer to walk on 4 unless carrying something or crossing a shallow creek.

Culture: Their Government is a theocracy, and they only believe in 1 God, a God of both war, mercy, and prosperity who only wants all beings to live in peace. Most of their laws are based on his teachings. It is not known weather or not they believe in a after life. They do not believe in a leader who is all powerful, but instead have a leader in the form of one who would normally be ranked 1 step lower then a admiral, but is not a war faring man Who in the case of leadership can command up to 40 admirals and 1 chief admiral total, and they get their leader by voting for him. When the leader dose them wrong they are impeached, and no blame is put on the leader for the sins of the voters. It has been this way since their civilization started. They are omnivore and get food by farming hunting fishing and gathering. They do not eat their own kind.

Medicine: The Zorilianites aren't stupid, they don't believe that sickness is caused by evil spirits, nor that its the punishment of their God, though it noting that it could be, and in hopes of their God's mercy they do believe in praying for them. Even during their early bronze age they have believed though never proven that sickness is caused by small bug like life forms, though this has been proven with parasites, they believe all sickness causing life forms to be parasites. With this one they have 2 ways of curing it, either with another parasite who causes the body no harm, or with something else their God had created such as a plant, often ingested as a drink or a food. Alcohol is usely used as a pain remedy or to make medicine stronger. If they don't get their patent medicine it is rude when praying for them not to end their prayer with "And please forgive us oh God, that we do not have a offering of medicine." Zorilianites believe it is the will of their God to heal the sick, feed the hungry, prosper the poor, help the helpless, and fight to protect the defenseless. It is because of this that their arts in medicine surgery and healing are remarkable.

Technology: Their first vehicles where either small boats, pulled by animals, or glided on the wind. These are still used today. The Zorilianites are at tier 6 and have only invented true cars about 100 years ago. Nothing is stopping them from advancing, their just satisfied with their lives. They use factories, trains, and ships with both sails and steam power armed by fuse lit rockets early rifle barrel cannons with 4 celinders gatling guns and steel armor layered over heavy wood. They still ride the backs of animals, and most don't have cars yet. How ever they had steam engine tanks for a very long time. Their tanks are simple, just a large stage coach like vehicle shaped virtually like a oval with room for a gatling gun or cannon, fuse lit rockets and a marksmen. Its only possible to stop these either with artillery, by breaking their wheels with a hammer, shooting the gunmen holes, or boarding them and clogging their smoke pipe. They have steam powered drills, and rifles and pistols with up to 8 cylinders. They have already invented Kevlar before the first factory, how ever because the Kevlar is made from bio oil rather then fossle fuel they will decay if not cared for. This dose not mean they don't use fossle fuel but this is uncommon as they find burning it to be stinky. Aside from Kevlar they also use light layered ballistic steel, leather, and a cotton native to their planet. Almost all their machines are steam engine powered, how ever they do not burn cole because it stinks and they don't burn wood because its better for crafting and carpentry. How ever to boil water for steam engines they burn shells from oily nuts. They invest much of their lives in growing trees to make nuts just to use as fuel, and as most trees on their planet are either pit fruit or nut, and they breed trees for healthy nuts, since the start on the industrial revolution their planets natural health has prospered as apposed to earth where it was the opposite at the start of tier 6. Zorilianites live as either factory workers community workers or farmers and do not believe in slavery.

peace culture: The Zorilianites do not like war, and are very peaceful and are very prone to love and mercy. If one country wants war with another, that nother will want peace, and it is custom they will send a unarmed and armored known as a Suicide missionary. His job is it be invited into this other country and try to win their hearts, he is the voice of peace, and will do great noble deeds in the community while bringing a message and will try to change their minds about war. If they threaten to kill him for his mission to bring peace when they want war he will not back down, not change his mind, compel them to peace, do no violence, and will not fight back. If they do kill him no matter what torcher even to his dying breath he will continue to be the voice of peace. Zorilianites have never gone to war with out doing this and it is believed they never will. After the first one becomes a murderer for peace they will try this again 6 more times, and continue to have mercy. How ever the 8th missionary they send, this time they aren't screwing around. The 8th will come with a military squadron behind him and proclaim to them "I am (name) son of (name) and (name). This is your last chance, of you do not except our desire for peace, hear are the first to fight!" If you continue as you did your first 7 chances, you just made a very big mistake.

War culture: In the event of a war taking place their primary weapon is a rifle with 4 cylinders and a baunet or a 4 beral shotgun. Their melee weapons include a saber, a tomahawk, and a combat knife known as "The lesser saber". How ever the knife is not tipicly used for combat, but instead for butchering the animals their solders hunt to feed them selves. They do not retreat, and they do not surrender, and go fearlessly into battle with a banner. They rally around this banner and if it is dropped or the one waving it is killed, they will toss away their weapon and risk their lives to raise the banner. Their heavy weapons include a rpg that requires the lighting of a fuse, fuse lit grenades, gatling guns, cannons with a salvo of 4, large fuse lit rockets, and morter launchers. The mortar launchers may be in acurite but dew to their deph perception the The Zorilianites never miss. They do not attack inocance nor unarmed, and after wining a battle againced a town they will not leave the civilians to fend for them selves, but instead they leave a unit of their own solders to protect the civilians of the enemy town they have taken over. Their wars end when they both are agreed they should be at peace.

Location in the universe: Not many know they exist, perhaps not even the chat, only true space explorers even know where their planet is. It is a rarely whispered rumor that Madam Celestial Saber knows of their location, but has told no one in fear they will be conquered.
