Line 23:
The Sikatrians were the fourth founding member species of the League, but the second species discovered by the Mikaeans during their epic mission to explore the newly established gate network created by the Hilam and Mikaeans years prior. Deeply religious and content with their lives, the Sikatrians never developed their civilization's technological state beyond the gunpowder age. At the time of their discovery, the species was nearly destroyed by the instability of their homeworld's orbit into the gas giant it was orbiting. The Mikaeans organized a rescue effort which directly lead to the Sikatrians joining the League in gratitude for their survival. Sikatrians today comprise XX% of the population, and are ranked as the eight most populous species within the League.
Originally native to the moon of Tezhin, the Sikatrians were transported to the planet of New Tezhin in the TBD system where they current reside to this day. The Sikatrians have nearly jet black skin, which has a leathery feel to it but provides them with a strong resistance to physical harm or serious burns. Thick white bony protrusions extend from the upper-chest going downward, providing a "cage-like" appearance around the abdomen. These same protrusions exist around the arms and legs, granting ample protection to their extremities. Sikatrians possess sharp teeth and claws, but will only ever use them in self-defense and never out of anger. Reproductively, the Sikatrians multiply through the act of sexual intercourse, with the female laying between one to three eggs after a month of gestation, after-which the newborn will hatch following a five-month period.
As a species, the Sikatrians have sought to remain politically unaligned, believing that it is not the role of mortals to involve themselves in political decisions or leadership roles which rightfully belong to God. Consequently, only a handful of Sikatrians are known to be active within the federal government. Of those known to be active politically, most are supporters of the ultra-conservative parties, such as TBD or TBD, both of which espouse devotion to God as the only means by which the League can truly prosper. These parties are adamantly opposed to the idea of granting citizenship and legal protections to androids and clones, believing that giving these rights to artificial creations will lead to a potential hazard where artificial life could attempt to displace natural-born beings in the universe by force.
