Zortak

The Zortak are a tribal species native to Sevet, a gas giant moon orbitting Ferig found in the Golap system.

Biology
Zortak are a spider-like species. They have four legs and four flexible arms allowing them to manipulate tools with ease.

They have ten eyes on their heads allowing them to have 270 degree version. They both require both wide peripherial and three dimensional vision because the Zortak are in the middle of the food chain. They both hunt other creatures and are preyed upon by larger animals.

To adapt to the colder climate, they have furry, tough hides which allow them to trap heat within their bodies.

Tribes
The Zortak are not a unified species. They are split into many small tribes, seven of which have the most power and influence over Sevet's single continent.

Selphit
The Selphit are a peaceful tribe who do not hunt, instead preferring to eat either plants or dead animals. They absolutely despise the killing of other creatures as well as deforestration. The Selphit are highly religious, believing life has an eternal cycle on the planet Sevet. They believe that the stars and planets are gods and godesses with the planets and stars being major gods, and asteroids and comets representing the people and creatures of the planet. They haven't met any other tribes and are fairly big considering this. They go to Shamans for nearly every need or treatment.

Utta
The Utta are a powerful tribal species and the most technologicall advanced. They live in Sevet's coastal mountain areas, having built large pyramid-shaped temples out of stone. The Utta elite live very wealthy lives in comparison to the other tribes. They have a basic caste system with aristocrats on top, normal citizens taking the middle and slaves from other tribes on the bottom. Utta prefer not to fight, but they instead handle arguments through bartering. Of course, they have their own militia to keep their slaves under control.

Darmui
The Darmui are a proud tribe of conquerors. They are nomadic so they never stay in one place much like the numerous other primitive tribes. However, the Darmui's military capabilities have evolved. They are the earliest of Zortak to make use of metals, rare in comparison to most planets due to Sevet's overall metallic deficiency.
