Species Name: Uleomaiyo "Proletarian Paradise"
Species Description: Bipedal creatures with thick skin, noted for their "handy" prehensile tails and "head spike", giving them effectively 6 limbs. They are cold blooded and reproduce by eggs, and are often extremely communal. Although "Queendoms" used to exist, they were eradicated in the Great Uprising.
The Uleomaiyo are extremely slow evolving creatures, both biologically and technologically. Living on an harsh world already gave them strong defensive adaptations. After lingering in a psuedo-Industrial age for thousands of years, their toughened skin, protective instincts, and communal spirits became extrordinary. They rely more on instinct than on thought, and indeed, their "head hand" extends the spine on the outside of their brain case, limiting volume. The competitive advantage must have proven itself early, as many species had this and similar, less developed adaptations.
The Uleomaiyo are omnivores, although early thought led to a highly successful vegan movement. Their "headhands" allowed them to hang within easy reach of fruit and, later, close observation of crafts for the ease of reach of their other five limbs.
Some Uleomaiyo are born more clever than their companions, similar to tricky "monkeighs." It is thought that these "Egg heads" literally birthed various movements of Uleomaiyo history. To secure our relationship, we observe them carefully and replace Egg Heads with appropriate clones at birth.
Strengths: Relies on Adaptive Instinct, Extra Limbs allows flexibility, strong skin and adaptations to harsh environments, do not question authority
Weaknesses: Not Clever, Relatively low technological level (Tier 6), Stupid mistakes occur frequently (which many survive due to their toughness)
Unique: Cold Blooded, Easy to dominate psychically,
Homework Details/Species Hsitory: Their homeworld is a large, cold rocky planet pocketed with volcanoes and noxious gasses. "Algae" and magma-feeding Michen developed early, leading to a oxygenated environment with only few pockets of toxic gasses at deadly concentrations. Developing in this harsh environment made extremely tough organisms, and when we first met this land we quarantined them for fear of spreading one of their unkillable super microbes. This planet was extremely rich in natural resources due to volcanism and it's size, and the tough Uleomaiyo powered their centuries-long industrial age by digging deeper and deeper into their homeworld, closer and closer to the magma vents. Mostly unchanging, every once in a while concentrations of eggheads would great breakthroughs in technology or sociology, the most recent ones toppling the Queendoms and establishing communes across the surface. Although sparsedly populated compared to any metric, the industrialization (no where close to potential carrying capacity) has greatly multiplied Uleomaiyo numbers and caused strife before we eliminated the remaining egg heads and put them under our protection.
Technology: Tier 6, with very simple and efficient machines made of composite, semi-biological componemnts. Their bio-engineering technology was quite effective, using the innate toughness of their planet's native creatures to support their mechanization.
RELATIONSHIP
They Give: Colonists on harsh worlds (already 1 at start of NES), slave labor for other races, raw materials
They Get: Stability via removed Egg Heads, expansion of their race, "Respect"
They are used as initial colonists on scouted but harsh planets. Entirely expected to die off in large numbers, they are too dumb to be much effected, and the survivers breed well adapted offspring to remove natural resources. Much more effective than the world excavators once used, and our labs are working at radiation-resistant members for use on "glassed" planets.
They are also sent as slaves to various planets to maintain their homeworld's stable population.
Finally, their Egg Heads are removed from their society to maintain their stability, while their intellect are put to work in our well-monitered labs in hopes that, with a proper educaiton, they can improveour technology instead of theirs.
EDIT: You mean, make an application as in alternate application, or what I did here? Is this good? Should I make another one? etc.
