- Average Lifespan: 120
- Estimated Population: Planetary
- Description: Genetically Altered and engineered through eugenics to be physically fit for their world. Heavier gravity making their bones and muscles dense. Hair, eyes, even skin tone being able to be selected by partents or doctors in charge of increasing the population. Mentally blank slates that are programmed and trained for their tasks and rarely allowed to deviate.

- Verbal Speech, hand signals
- Technology level: Modern by galactic standards with an emphasis on genetic tampering to create perfect children. The parents can design from the womb how they want the child to grow and what they want it to become when it grows older.
- Religion/Beliefs:
- Teryn: The Teryn were born on Seoul V and are the descendents of the original people. They are standard humans with a key difference being their reliance on technology. They create genetically perfect babies and toss the rest aside as not viable.
Arakashian: Force users and highly trained protectors of the countess, with a strict sense of community and honor to each other. They are based in the capital and are highly loyal to their leader.
Morequi: Darksiders and dissenters who have started a civil war. Their goal is to dethrone the ancient line of the Countess. Their technology is largely based on the Teryn with genetic imperfection being the difference. These things are sent to fight instead of exiled into space.
Degen: Mentally unhinged and accidentally created from the by products of Teryn labs. They are considered disposable but are either depending on the use sent into space as children or used by the Morequi as front line soldiers.
Poverty level: Drones essentially programmed for tasks and labor no one else wants to to. Cheap and easy to make from the largest population
Middle class: Soldiers and beauracrats raised for their positions since birth, the second largest slice of the population and largest amount in the civil war. Minor freewill
- Rich: Have freewill and are able to use what skills their parents bought for them to make a living.
- Royality: Dharma Vessia, Shinjū Aÿasha, Minerva Vessia and Bundori Aÿasha Vessia... by extension and relation Petra Cavataio and clan.
- Teryn: The Teryn were born on Seoul V and are the descendents of the original people. They are standard humans with a key difference being their reliance on technology. They create genetically perfect babies and toss the rest aside as not viable.
- General behavior: The normally created of the species are pre-programmed for their assigned tasks. They enjoy it regardless and live in a sense of bliss. The ones who have been programmed for fighting and war have more freewill and thoughts. The high bred ones are the most lavish able to learn whatever they want. Genetic abnormalities are exiled by the labs into space or are used as ground fodder by the Morequi. After the Lords of the Fringe Occupation the changes of the population became more... the hostility towards offworlders who were not allies, invasions of close worlds and expanding their technologies to have stronger and more dangerous beings for attacking.
Soledad was settled when the survivors of Seoul V fled their world. The planet was dying and they spread out finding a large world that drifted far in the distance. It was settled and they found a bountiful land. The survivors didn't know what to make of it though. They struggled to rebuild their society and found thousands of creatures in the world that were both hostile and helpful.
The society they built was one that became based on reliance on machines and flourished around the largest city. Rhoanapoor filled nearly like a megapolis behind huge walls and buried deeper under ground. The city was home to the appointed ruler who could oversee everything and rule. Her iron fist brought the lands around her in line and for a time there was peace. Then she passed away and fueds between the children she bore took place.
Until finally one rose up creating the Metsuka order who would serve as her personal guards. They were loyal only to her and armored to fight. As her reign came to pass and technology grew more commonplace the society started to tamper with genetics to make their children fit in and perfect. Each one could be shown and designed for a job with the rich being able to lavish and afford more.
This genetic soup gave birth to another type of humanoid within their society. Aberrations neither full male or female but both who's minds were fragile and could be easily broken. With the ancient line of the Countess in charge they were humanely cast off into space to travel and not plague the society. Some were never heard from again and some were suspected to find the old realm the part where they had come from long ago.
The peace and society flourished with eventually the children of the genetically perfect children growing up. Their lifespan was harder to track but with the Metsuka keeping the peace across the planet and being the highest level of the military they didn't suspect what was coming from the dark.
Three thousand years ago the Countess of Soledad had ruled the planet in peace through her bloodline, while the Arakashian Order enforced it using what in times past was called "The Force"....however, that peace would soon become only a memory....
The Great Civil War started when several male members of the Countess' family, tired of being supposedly 'over looked' and hungry for power, started a rebellion on the planet using mind control, fear of death, and lies about their leaders and the Countess. To do this they consulted a willing Lord Arakesh, seeking a way to gain power on their planet (which never actually came to pass), on how they should go about overthrowing the government. These men became known as the WAR LORDS. After starting the Civil war the War Lords also hired bounty hunters and Morequi to hunt down and kill all of the Arakashian....including the Countess.
After twenty years of constant battles and skirmishes all that was left of the Arakashian Order, the protectors of the planet, were a handful of knights and priestesses, who had no choice but to flee the capital with the only surviving child of the now dead Countess. Once they escaped the planet the Arakashian decided the only way to survive would be to separate, then reunite at a later date. And so they divided, scattering throughout the planet...
Some returned in secret to Rhoanapoor, starting the nomadic groups that continue to train knights and priestesses in secret....for the battling still continued between the War Lords themselves. No one ever knew what happened to the child of the Countess, but many believe now that the child was brought back to Rhoanapoor to be trained, knowing the War Lords would have their bounty hunters and Morequi searching everywhere but the planet for the child.
Ten years ago Soledad is still a war torn planet. The descendants of the War Lords having taken on their ancestors titles, and are fighting amongst each other for control of the planet. There are ever growing rumors of 'The Next Countess' returning soon to lead both civilians and Arakashian alike out of the War Lord's oppression. These rumors stemming from a vision one of the greatest Arakashian of the time, Soru Soriar, had over fifty years ago.
Though still war torn, Soledad is slowly recovering. A new Countess..., a former Jedi, and Arakashian... has been placed in charge of the planet. However, the Morequi still pose a threat to the planet's recovery, and the newly restored Arakashian Order has their hands full keeping the small resemblance of peace intact.
The years have been kind... with Ashin and the lords of the fringe coming to the world it saw a larger upheval. Dharma and Shinju with Sargon, Jared, Rave, Dranok and other fringe lords overtook the world slaughtering the royal family that oppressed the people. Using Shinju and Dharma as a new genetic templaate the pair were put in charge of the planet. Developing parts of it and putting the species in a new direction. Maintaining many of the aspects such as genetic manipulation to have perfected beings in the new vision of them instead. Building their own palace as the species developed into a more ravenous and dangerous fighting force without the Fringe to keep them controlled.
