Urzahn

The Urzahn Empire are a race of sentient, bipedal Galeiformes. They are very territorial, tenacious and quite aggressive. Their home world is a massive planet with only one true ocean, comprising only 10% of the planet's surface. Due to extreme competition for resources, the Urzahn developed sentience rapidly and made a conscious decision to become land dwelling. Known as "the Great Choice", this decision created a rift among the ruling factions of the Urzahn. The forward looking wanted to expand and populate the entire world, while the "water dwellers" wanted to remain where they were. Evidently, the "water dwellers" held most of the political power within the Empire. Despite this, brave Urzahn pilgrims began to explore and even build structures on the land. These pilgrims found a strange, wild environment that held many dangers, not the least of which was suffocation. Despite political protests and the many dangers, the Urzahn began to slowly tame the surface of their home. Hundreds of years after the Great Choice, Urzahn genetic engineers finally cracked the DNA code and were able to modify pilgrims, so that they could breath and move around on the surface, this marked the beginning of the end for the "water dwellers", as more and more Urzahn were altered and took to the surface, bent on conquest. Surprisingly, the Urzahn encountered serious resistance in the form of hundreds of indigenous surface life forms, several of which were on the verge of sentience. Rising to the occasion the Urzahn hacked out an empire on the surface of their world, exterminating a few other species along the way. Once they had a secure empire on the surface, the "landers" then turned their attentions on their only true competition, the "water dwellers". The attack was direct, brutal and utterly effective and the "landers" never looked back and, as their power extended to the stars, their policies of complete dominance never changed.
