The Dwarfs are an ancient race, largely comprising engineers and miners, who were sailing the stars long before humans took their first steps towards civilisation. As benefits such a long-lived society, their culture is steeped in rich heritage and tradition, with a complex social hierarchy that continually baffles outsiders.
Commonly found as part of the Forge Fathers they are, despite their insular nature, valuable trade allies to the GCPS, having skill with technology and a knack for resource harvesting that we believe is the finest in the galaxy. When a time of direct conflict comes, we must be prepared for a war on a scale undreamt of, for the Forge Fathers are a stubborn and proud race.
Commonly known as Dwarfs, the Forge Fathers are physically short and powerfully built, being stocky and covered in muscle. Autopsy reports from the GCPS black science labs have revealed that Forge Fathers are possessed of an incredibly dense bone and muscle structure, with tensile and compressive strengths an order of magnitude greater than those of humans. In live captive tests in a variety of environments, forces well over twenty times that needed to break human bone were required to damage the bones of Forge Father Limbs. Their features are human-like, though much wider set and with craggy brows. Their eyes are deep set, and combine with their other features to give an appearance, to humans, of a permanent scowl. Indeed, their faces are almost incapable of nuance to convey meaning, and so the Forge Fathers have a singularly complex language, both in verbal and written forms. Diplomats are well-advised to learn the Forge Fathers’ customs and linguistic conventions if they are not to cause offense, for the Dwarfs are well-known for their severe demeanours and harsh tempers. They have short, thick fingers whose appearance belies their incredible dexterity with the finest of tools, and their hands are rough and calloused from hours spent mining mineral-rich asteroids or working metal in the forges. The Forge Father culture sees great value in the fruits of manual labour, and ‘soft-hand’ is an insult of the gravest order amongst their kind.
The Forge Fathers will not speak of the planet they hail from, it being lost to some long ago catastrophe. To question a Forge Father on this subject is to invite his wrath. Our scientists have plotted the movements of the Forge Father trade fleets and undertaken a statistical analysis of their so-called Star Realm. From this data, we have extrapolated a location for the Forge Father home world somewhere very deep in the core, a hypothesis widely accepted in exobiological circles.
