Drahoni

Drahoni are a mammalian species native to the exotic planet Xenzhoan.

Appearance
The Drahoni are blue skinned (although there are other possible colours, blue is the most common one) erect bipedal creatures. When a Drahoni is not blue skinned it is either violet, purple or cyan coloured. Grey has also been recorded on some occassions but only has a 0,00000001% chance of occuring, when a Drahoni ages it's skin will begin to lose pigment and as a result they will become pale skinned and have less resistance to the sun's UV rays.

The Drahoni lower legs are bowed backwards, their feet have 3 toes (with 1 toe on the outer side). They have 3 fingered hands (with the lack of their index finger and ring finger), their thumbs are large enough to reach the tip of their middle finger when strecthing it.

The Drahoni have some visible differences between the gender

Male
Males have horn-shaped cranial extensions that extend over the upper cranium and end on either side of the crown.

Males have 4 tendrils that extends from their chin.

Males have large tails which are held erect by developed muscle structure.

If a male would gain wheight they would redirect this to their arms and legs.

Female
The females are slightly thinner and smaller than the males. Whereas the males have an average height of 3,5m the female only has an average height of 3,2m.

The females have 6 tendrils that rise from behind their ears of which 2 follow their back and 4 that slide down to the chest (height of the scapula).

Females lack the horns the males have.

Female Drahoni tails are shorter and have a lower muscle density.

When a female would gain wheight they would redirect this to a sack on their head where they store nutrients and fats.

Diet
The Drahoni mostly eat vegetables and herbs to keep their immune system in check as it tends to detoriate quickly. Their strong digestive system and immune system (although pretty unstable) allows them to eat many types of plants and food that are otherwise toxical for other species.

Intelligence
The Drahoni are a wise people believing that war is inevitable, this is the reason of their strong military force. Elders and historians are considered as important people in Drahoni society as they carry much information with them and not all people are allowed to acces the Drahoni Library Database.

Government and Society
They live in a hierarchy where a king (Tiberychaam Wirsdakh) and queen (Felionary Yeghnem) rule all of the Drahoni. Jobs like architects, historians, industrial engineers, scientists and doctors are considered as important as the studies for these are long and hard.

Religion
The Drahoni do not have a religion anymore but worshipped many gods in their ancient times. However, on occasions a cult or sect is discovered by the government. When these conduct Drahoni sacrifices they are taken care off, otherwise they are left alone.

Military doctrine
In ancient times the males have always made up the ranks and lines of the Drahoni military but after many bloody civil wars the male population had decreased dramaticly and are now only given officer ranks. However, the Supreme Star Admiral has always been female. The Vice SSA is always male.

Most of the military is now made up of the female Drahoni population.

Military

The Drahoni Military is ruled by the United Drahoni Space Alliance (UDSA in short) who represent the Drahoni monarch's power. It is controlled by a group of councillors elected by each important planet.

Technology
Drahoni technology is very complex, they do this to prevent 'lesser' races from aquiring more insight on their technological level. When they discovered the Xzeron their technological level rose significantly to the point they almost equel theirs.

Opinion towards other species

 * Xzeron: They met and are on peaceful terms, they have asked the help of the Xzeron on several occasions to deal with pirates and slavers.
