Thrundan Xenotype and Factions
Adds the Thrundan xenotype and Thrundan Tribe factions to the game. Thrundans are a furry race bioengineered to populate a frontier planet quickly with enhanced fertility, keen plant and animal skills, good immune systems, and wide range of temperature tolerance. However, their weaknesses are that they need more sleep and are delicate in combat.
Who are the Thrundan People:
Thrundans were bioengineered to colonize freshly terraformed planets quickly. The Thrundans have enhanced fertility and high libidos. They are tolerant of a wide range of temperatures. They are skilled plant and animal farmers, and they have strong immune systems. They also require less food than a baseline human. However a side effect of these genetic changes are that the Thrundans now require more sleep than usual, and that they are vulnerable when taking damage during combat. Thrundans are psychically deaf, and are also not known to be artistically talented.
The original bioengineers believed the Thrundans would arrive on virgin, unsettled planets with no human competition. It was believed their lack of combat skills would be of no hindrance. But instead the Thrundans arrived to already settled frontiers, and they were unable to fight for a claim in the galactic core.
However the Thrundans were still able to establish thriving tribes on many less populated worlds, especially on the rim. The Thrundans themselves have long forgotten their origins. Though in their folklore they know on a spiritual level that they were created to live on the planets they now call home.
Despite their comparative weakness in combat, Thrundans will not hesitate to fight if they deem it necessary Some Thrundan tribes are more peace-loving than others.
Scholars speculate if the Thrundans are related to the Yttakins, but any records of such relations have been lost to history.
