Description of Race: The Kaveni race is currently the only race in the Kaveni Empire, they come from the world of Hoa. They are bipedal and humanoid, the female is slightly shorter than the male but weight slightly more average weight for an adult Kaveni is 170-180 kilograms. Kaveni also have the remains of a tail, while it has become shorter since it lost its initial purpose. The average Kaveni can reach the age of 300 before dying of old age.
The transition of their head to the body is seamless, while this makes it harder to look around they have no weak spot in their neck. Their skin is made up of many hard scales and they are hard to penetrate with most hand weapons except the Sonia blade which is specifically designed for that purpose. But their natural armor is far from perfect, it offers little protection against the guns used in this age and they have weak spots on their abdomen; under their armpit and the backside of their legs.
The most common colors of the Kaveni scales are brown; dark red or dark green and the unscaled surface of their body is always in a slightly lighter tint of that color.
Civilization Traits:Explorer
Philosophical
Imperialist (Naval construction focus)
Population: 17 Billion
Society: Life on Hoa has been peaceful in recent years, while Kaveni history is filled with thousands of wars the people have been content to live in peace under imperial rule. While living conditions are decent for nearly all Kaveni there is a big difference between the average middle class citizen or someone born into one of the old noble families.
Government: The emperor is the head of the Kaveni empire but a council of 40 appointed and elected members handle most of the everyday decisions. The council can only overrule the emperor if at least 70 of the 80 members voted in favor of the action, in reality this power has rarely been used.
Economy: Open market capitalism
Military: The military of the Kaveni empire is a very professional organization, during peace it consists entirely of professional volunteer soldiers but during war a large part of the population can be conscripted into the army.
Defense: While the navy provides the first line of defense the Kaveni standing army is quite large, large amounts of funds have been set apart to make sure every colony has an army of it's own.
Technology: With cold fusion reactors providing most of the energy needs of the Kaveni empire the Kaveni people enjoy living in a high tech society.
Space Travel: Basic Interstellar
Back Story (Optional): The emperors of the Tau dynasty have over the course of several generations conquered the largest part the Kaveni homeworld of Hoa. While some parts of the planet do not fall under the rule of Emperor most regions have joined the empire, either through force or peaceful annexation. With their homeworld firmly under their control the people of the Kaveni empire look to the stars for a new challenge.
