The Sydites of Khuur (Ley 3026) are a technologically developing Minor Human Race with a semi-humanoid appearance.

Description (Specifications)

They are members of a four-armed minor human race believed to have been genetically altered by the Ancients for physical labor. Their polity was known as the Sydymic Empire, and Sydites are also known as Sydymites in many parts of the Ley Sector.

Physiology

Physically, Sydites are quite a bit larger than an average human, being 2-2.5 metres tall and 130 kilograms in weight. They have a brutish, blockier facial structure. Their size and general features are not the most striking difference from the standard human form, however. Sydites have two sets of arms, the upper pair designed for heavy lifting, the second set designed for fine manipulatory work.

Sydites cannot interbreed with other human species or subspecies, as their genetic makeup is very different, a result of intensive alteration by the Ancients.

Psychology

Most Sydites tend to solve the problems they encounter by simple, direct means rather than careful planning and finesse.

History & Background (Dossier)

Often perceived as big strong brutes without imagination, the Sydites nevertheless controlled an extensive interstellar empire at the height of their power. The Sydymic War of the 7th Century Imperial saw the Sydymic Empire destroyed by the Third Imperium, forcing the Sydites to rebuild their society and technological infrastructure.

Although most Sydites are encountered in the Delta Quadrant of Ley Sector, small enclaves exist throughout the Gateway Domain and surrounding areas.

Government & Politics (Leadership)

Their current polity is known as the Khuur League. It has its roots in the Sydymic Empire.
