Nation Name: Retaren Empire
Government: Plutocracy
Description: No living Retaren knows a time when war or strife was not common place. The strongest armies, with the wealthiest and smartest leaders would vie for power in, what seemed to be, a never ending struggle. Space travel was just a race for power. That is, until their harsh planet, Odune, became even worse. With every creature on the planet struggling to survive, and the planet itself barely able to support life, the Retaren were forced to come together to find other worlds to inhabit. Finally realizing that they're stronger together than divided, the Retaren are looking to the stars for their salvation, no matter how much blood they have to spill to get it.
Species: Retaren
Bonus: Monstrous Build - Retaren are terrifying beasts with sharp teeth and claws, superhuman strength, and thick hides. Retaren have advantage in close quarters combat. They are relatively new at space exploration though, gaining most of their technology from other races.
Description: Hulking humanoids with red skin, clawed hands, and gaping maws, the Retaren are a fearsome sight. Their enhanced strength and thick skin make them formidable warriors in close range, and their bloodlust in battle make them feared across the galaxy.
Homeworld: Odune
Description: Odune is a brutal, harsh world. Now desolate after centuries of combat, Odune's harsh environment and deadly animal life forms have shaped the Retaren into what they are now. Odune still has some untapped resources but has become desolate over the years, forcing the Retaren to stop killing each other and start conquering other worlds.

History: The Retaren have a lengthy history of war and destruction, going back since their tribal roots and only cultivating itself with every new technological advancement they made. Centuries ago, with the arrival of more powerful weapons the Retaren saw the beginnings of the destruction of their world. Still the war raged on. Finally, as Odune became more desolate, alliances became more frequent as the wealthiest and most powerful factions worked together to find somwhere for the Retaren to thrive again.
Culture: In a word, the Retaren culture is ruthless. Even with the current peace between factions the old tensions remain and strife exists. The powerful rule and the weak are ruled, and everyone in between looks to secure a higher footing. That is not to say that the Retaren are devoid of emotion, but their society hardens everyone to the realities of the world at a young age. Kill or be killed, rule or be ruled. It is their way of life. Retaren are also very possessive and will fight to the bitter end when someone attempts to take something of theirs, which at times is one of their few good traits, as they will defend those close to them with a ferocious fervor.
