About
Typically those races originating from Gora are referred to as Gorans. The green shading of their skin tone is a reaction to the intense ultraviolet from Gora’s sun, and gives all Marauders some protection against radiation.
Marauders still consider Gora their home. This may be for more practical than sentimental reasons however, as it is on Gora that they draft new recruits. While all the Marauder species can breed elsewhere, the unique harshness of Gora with its scouring radiation, ferocious weather, and the collective hostility of its plant and animal life breeds a hardness into the creatures that survive to adolescence.
After an attempted annexation of it by Carver Inc., the Council of Seven passed an unamendable law prohibiting any corporation activities within a 100,000au range of the planet, under threat of Enforcer censure.
History
Much of the Marauders’ known history can be tracked alongside the GCPS’s. However, evidence of a long history is buried deep within Gora’s earth as fossils and relics, and in the limited oral history of the Marauder clans. There is archaeological evidence of various proto-civilisations throughout Gora’s history, but equally abundant at each stage are the signs of a violent erasure just as the culture would have begun to gain a foothold; an eradication of such totality that an external, more advanced agent would be suspected, but only if the nature and capabilities of the natives were not known.
Because, as became apparent, Gorans are aggressive to an extreme absent from any other race. To an extent, Gora’s past patterns of societal development and extermination followed the same of ancient human history, but the difference on Gora was that the cycle did not end – peace never reigned long enough for a stable society to out-compete warring clan life. And so, when humans arrived, the Gorans were still fighting with a level of technology not much different from Old Earth’s medieval period.
A Klandax Corp. expedition landed on Gora in 644AE, and immediately began transmitting reports of a hostile, primitive indigenous race.
