Saurian (Sophont) History & Background

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.

Saurian (Sophont) Military & Intelligence

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