Name: Mercedinians.
Homeworld: Palaven. Due to it's weak metallic core, greater levels of radiation are allowed to breach the planet's magnetic field and atmosphere. Most of the creatures on Palaven have evolved to have a sort of metallic exoskeleton, to protect them from said radiation.
Physical Appearance: Mercedinians typically stand over six feet tall, have two long, proportionately thick fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand, each tipped with talons, and a set of mandibles around their mouths. The most distinguishing feature of Mercedinians is their metallic carapace, which is a result of their evolution. Mercedinian features are avian, making them resemble humanoid birds or raptors. Mercedinians exhibit the characteristics of predators rather than those of prey species. Their forward-facing alert eyes give the impression that they possess outstanding eyesight and their teeth and jaws mimic the structures possessed by apex predators such as crocodiles or ancient, carnivorous dinosaurs. Needless to say, their talons on both their feet and hands seem capable of ripping flesh. Their slender bodies also seem to suggest that they are also capable of moving at high speeds.
Personality: Loyal, very capable leaders, a very high sense of personal accountability, and a remarkable sense of honor.
Sentience: Sentient.
Average life span: Maximum of about 110 years.
History: The Mercedinians were a fairly quiet race, preferring to stick to their own business instead of sticking their noses into other's. They had colonized
many planets when some of the colonies farther from Palaven revolted. A bitter civil war broke out, but was soon put to rest by the Mercedinian Hierarchy. The colonies were reunited, but the bond is fragile.
Other Info: None.
Universe: Prime.
