The Saurians are a technologically sophisticated sophont species.

• They are a reptillianoid Minor Non-Human Race with a humanoid appearance.

Description (Specifications)

Saurians are a sentient reptillianoid species native to Saurus (Spinward Marches 1320).

History & Background (Dossier)

The dimwitted, stone age Saurians were overlooked by the IISS exploratory teams when the world was first explored. Because of its T-Prime status, the world was opened to outside colonization with great fanfare.

Then the colonists discovered the truth about their neighbors. "A day late, a credit short" the Imperial government could do little beyond sending observers to prevent exploitation of the surprisingly gentle creatures. In the centuries since colonization, the Saurians have shown a penchant for copying human culture, having formed simple communities based upon the human settlements.

Many Saurians serve in the local defense forces, and were instrumental in beating back a Sword World incursion in 1132.
