Nebulae Brew Species Pt. 2

Nebulae Brew is a space opera fiction series I'm working on, and here are three of the species in the story

The Tularians were the closest neighbors to Earth, and the first aliens to make contact with Humans other than the Battali. They are *theocrats, and were the creators of the High Space Peace Army. In the creation of Government Pact, the humans not associating with the Senatnia were accepted into the High Space Peace Army. Their capitol is in the Dyson Bubble of RW Cygni, called Issildor Prime by the Tularians. They are very methodical in nature, and very loyal to their religious beliefs. The masks are are worn at all times to show their unification in one mindset, and are only taken off when among family or friends.

The Ark'Heron are a mammalian race who are from the northern and southern parts of Abelon. They were used as a slave race by the Filtese before the arrival of the Battali, after which slavery was made illegal under the Battali government. After the extinction of the Battali and the creation of the Government Pact, the Ark'Heron were once again enslaved by the Filtese Federation secretly. Upon receiving many Ark'Heron that fled the Filtese Federation, the Senatnia sent sleeper agents into the Filtese Federation. Upon finding proof of slavery, the Senatnia declared war on the Filtese Federation, and the HSPA interfered by threatening to use the Mass Displacement Cannon on both governments if they did not cease the war. With the ending of the war, the Ark'Heron spread out across the galaxy, although most stayed in the Filtese Federation.

The Filtese are from the hotter regions of Abelon. They are adapted to desert conditions, and are capable of going without sustenance for months at a time. They are aggressive merchants, as they were before and after First Contact, and created a corporate government named the Filtese Federation, which engaged in war against the Senatnia over the right to have slavery and the Senatnia's corporate espionage. They became close allies to the High Space Peace Army after the war, and feel that only the Filtese and Tularians are worthy of their respect. They view other forms of life as lesser life forms because they do not use an old *creed created by the Filtese.

*The religion of the Tularians is called Piroudeism. The followers worship two deities, a god in the form of a Tularian named Gatte, who is ruler of the material world, and a god who is a star, named Issildor. Gatte is a metaphor for any single member of the Tularian race, and represents the Tularian longing for the knowledge that Issildor has, being trillions of years old. They use prayer to try to find or contact Issildor, but Issildor also have omniscient power, so they ask him to help them with their life. The High Space Peace Army created a new god, Abunba, to represent the Humans who joined the HSPA. Piroudeism. Those who are part of this religion are often very loyal, and follow a strict moral code based on an ancient Tularian text known as 'The Song of Gatte.' The Song of Gatte is a short poem which tells of how to acheive enlightenment by becoming one with Gatte and, usually after many, many years, Issildor himself. The star, RW Cygni, is owned by the HSPA, who renamed it Issildor Prime, after claims of people hearing voices in the radio emissions of the biggest star in the galaxy while passing it in travel. It also serves as the capitol of the High Space Peace Army, using a massive Dyson Bubble made up of fifty enormous space stations, called Cathedrals.

*The Filtese creed suggests that life is a struggle to have as much wealth as possible, and that if one is not wealthy, then he/she is weaker. In the eyes of the Filtese, power is wealth and wealth is strength.
