The Saurians of Saurus (Spinward Marches 1320) are a technologically primitive Minor Non-Human Race with a humanoid appearance.

Description (Specifications)

Saurians are a sentient reptillianoid species native to Saurus (Spinward Marches 1320). The name is applied to them by Humans; their own racial name, if they indeed have a singular term for their species, is unknown.

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.
