Description

Vagaras is a primitive planet about ¾’s the size of earth, which is currently in the midst of an ice age. The biota is very similar to that of Earth’s in an extreme case of convergent evolution, with many analogues of fish, amphibian, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The planet has four continents, with many smaller Islands, though most of life occurs around it’s equator. A rarity on a galactic scale the harsh conditions of the planet have seeming created ten distant sapient species in order to coup with the harsh environment. Even more rare is that all ten species are aware of one another and have formed a relatively peaceful Iron Age society amongst all its peoples. Though they have names for all their species they collectively refer to themselves as Vagarasi.

Solient

The Solient were discovered on the southernmost continent. A race of subterranean amphibians which evolved from the nymphs of another amphibian. They evolved lungs, and tails have become spade like. while their gill flaps have evolved into tendrils that act as sensory organs to feel their way through tunnels and caves. They also possess a sensitive tongue to help taste the different minerals within the ground, while their claws are strong enough to dig through concrete. They were discovered accidently when a Rifling settler was digging a latrine, causing a collapse into one of their caverns. They established a relationship and the Solient were able to lead them to various mineral deposits.
