The Opliaraz of Ozago (Gvurrdon 3107) are a technologically competent Minor Non-Human Race with a semi-humanoid appearance.

Description (Specifications)

The Opliaraz are descended from omnivore scavengers cave dwellers on Ozago (Gvurrdon 3107 C331731-7).

Physiology & Environment (Ecology)

The world of Ozago (world) has given them sight that spans from visible light to the infrared spectrum. They have large black eyes, the pupils are the only part of the eye visible. Their size is small compared to humans, with an average height of 145cm. They have bat-like ears that can be moved towards sounds. This coupled with their wide field of vision, that is 220 degrees gives them a superior surveillance capability compared to most other sentient races.

History & Background (Dossier)

When the Vargr contacted these the first time, they were hunted for their fur. Even when they had advanced into the iron age. This hunting was stopped some hundred years ago, by a group of resourceful explorers.

Social Organization

Their society is built around the family, which forms a clan.

Technology & Trade (Economy)

However the Opliaraz is still xenophobic about outsiders. Those who wants to do business in this system should do it through the Aelluengh Mercantile Company, which is the only company the Opliaraz will trade with. The reason for this is that the Aelluengh is owned by the ancestors of those who rescued the Opliaraz from extinction.
