Culture(s): Before their initial enslavement to the Ga'Roa Corporation, the Recidi were in their Golden age of technology, their homeworld was a proverbial wonderland of Digital Lights, Flashing Screens and Machinery. They relied heavily on the Hydrogen atom as a primary source of their energy demands, aside from Photovoltaics and Hydroturbines that powered the remote regions of the world. The final solution for their Race's power demands, a Proton-Boron fusion reactor built by their race's Top Scientst and High Luminary, Charis Enrichal, who inadvertently drew the attention of a passing Ga'roa corporation slaver ship on its way back from Malos.

The Immense power signature coming from the planet's surface drew attention from both the Varandion ship and a nearby Aranarran Battle-cruiser, armed with an experimental Weapon of Mass Destruction. It soon became a race to whoever could conquer this tiny little planet that sat between the void of the Iotanid Empire's Territory and ZANC's Sphere of influence but sadly, the Ga'Roa corpation had failed. The Aranarrans landed and seized control of the Fusion reactor, using it to power their Superweapon, detonating the Recidians' greatest technological achievement of their time while creating a massive explosion, sending their planet into chaos through terraforming it into a hellish nightmare of Massive Sandstorms, seemingly-endless Ion Storms, Mile-high Tsunamis, and non-stop tremors.

The Recidians that didn't perish in the cataclysm were now forced into slavery by their new Ga'Roa Corporation Masters who planned to exploit the situation, harvesting what remained of their world while further pushing it into ruin. It only took several months for the entire race to be bound in chains once the Company Headquarters received word of newly acquired 'Asset', using their Arcathion muscle to further enforce their rule. The Recidians at this point lost hope for any sort of future as they were shipped like livestock to various parts of the Milky Way.

Factions: Once the Recidians had found that the Ga'Roa Corporation had been taken over by an enigmatic alien from an unknown world. they didn't what to think if they had either been freed or placed under a new master, having fallen in the routine of doing what they were told. A band of tribals that had hijacked a GRC vessel to make an escape soon told the tale of the Rosy Joker and how she went defied the strongest even at her weakest moments...

(Work on later)

Technology : The Recidians once were an advanced race but within a generation of slavery and the loss of Millions, they became the equivalent of a Stone Age society, forgetting much of what they once knew in order to survive. The time spent working on Varandion Starships had become the only thing they know aside from scavenging for metals, only seeing glimpse of what was before the destruction.

Allies : Though the Recidans didn't have any allies during the time of the invasion, once they were liberated, they were quick to make allies.

The Rosy Joker , after the Ga'Roa Corporation was forcefully placed under new management and their CEO was cooked alive in furnace on a stage in front all the company's employees. She helped reclaim Reci III from ecological travesty, using a creature called Luffies that had stowed away aboard her Starship. The Rosy Joker's Captain also recovered their High Luminary, Charis Enrichal, from a Heraxion Interment camp in order to help further rebuild from the ruins of their civilization. The Recidians now fall under Rociel's banner while remaining independent of her rule, allowing them to flourish.

Daesidynes , Recidian engineers that were capable to find their way back to their homeworld of Reci, they began working on their own starship design in order to access their solar system's natural resources but lacked any skilled pilots to do so. Diaunis's Planet Runner Program soon saw the opportunity to build a Star Base on the planet in exchange for training native Recidians to operate and maintain these sensitive pieces of interstellar equipment. Not to mention that these races both share a common evolutionary ancestor....

Varandions , once the High Luminary managed to establish contact with City-State of Tol'Ris, they immediately began discussing diplomatic issues such as the Recidian's lack of interstellar of credit, having been practically back to the Stone Age by the Arannarans and even further set back by GRC taking over their home-world. The State of Tol'Ris soon gave Ms. Enrichal the funds needed to rebuild their world as well as establishing trade connections with other races through the Kadewah Agency.

Heraxions , when a batch of Recidian slaves were bound for Apok, a ZANC vessel was in hot pursuit of the slaver transport but took a desperate maneuver past the Heraxion's home planet. Hera's defense grid made short work of both starships as both began deploying their emergency drop pods. The heraxions were quick to eliminate the Ga'Roa Corporation employees with extreme prejudice, whilst freeing the captured tenrec-like people from their bindings. After the failed attempt of an impromptu GRC invasion, the liberated Recidians were soon transported to a decommissioned Military Complex that was large enough to accommodate the hundreds that were left on Hera.

Enemies : The Recidians may be a passive race but they can be resentful...

Hostility : Peaceful, mainly due to their Neural Anatomy

Physical Description : To Learn about Recidian physiology, you must learn about their evolution. A Long time ago when the land masses of Reci III had formed a Mega-Continent near its equator, their ancestors had to contend with vicious predators that didn't hesitate to eat up the little shrew-like creatures in a moment's notice. After an eon or so, the continent began breaking up into dozens and dozens of little islands before colliding into one another to form the small subcontinents they have today and nature took its course by rendering said predators extinct due to the new environment favoring the smaller creatures over the larger ones. The Recidian's ancestor was one of them, having grown its petite size comparable of a mouse to the size of football, eventually becoming more adapted to the terrain and its prey, mainly grubs and insects that began growing to phenomenal sizes.

Once their primal relative began walking upright on their two hind feet, it left their hands available to grab at things as well as find new sources of food hidden away in various crevices, leading to further development of their neuroanatomical structure. This led to development of tools in the first stages of their evolutionary path, the lack of predators signaled and the heating tropical climate further morphological changes, namely to their quills that went up and down their backs that soon receded to their skull. The need to traverse soon came about with the islands colliding to form new expansive landmasses, ushering in another adaptation to the environment; they soon began standing taller and upright. Overall, Evolution has changed them from the pygmy size creatures that used to pry through the ground in search of food to the tech-savy humanoids that they are today.

Modern Recidians are rather short in stature, compared to other races with the exception of their Daesidyne cousins who share similar evolutionary ancestor. They are a bipedal race whose feet bears five digits with one being slightly larger than one another, and their hands also bear four primary digits and a thumb on each hand. This is what gave these tenrec-like beings a chance in their ever change climate since they started walking all those millennia ago.

What sets most Recidians apart other races from is how their brains are wired; their entire race is mentally gender-swapped in the sense that the biological females possess male mindsets and vice versa. This occurred when a tactical predator began thinning out their females so nature did her best to help them adapt. It led to the creation of a hormone now known as Epicenogen, a hormone that causes their bodies to androgenize to make it difficult to differentiate between the two genders. This biochemical is also what aides in the development of their incredible intelligence and proficiency with machinery.

Eyes : Recidian possess binocular vision with their eyes possessing a variety of iris colors, even red which they have an old superstition that one with eyes of red shall fulfill a great destiny.

Hair : Recidians are infamously known for their hair, or more namely, their quills which make up their hair. Their hair color normally coincides with their fur color, though often being darker or somewhat paler, accompanied by the peculiar patterning that is associated with various bloodlines and regions of the planet. Darker shades are more common amongst Recidians who dwell within tropical regions of the planet.

Fur : Recidians normal have short to mid-length fur that is known for its soft and fuzzy nature as well as its ability to dry rather quickly. Darker shades of fur are more common amongst Recidians who reside in the tropical regions of the planet. Various patterns such spots and stripes tend to dominate in heavily forest areas, such as jungles and the pinewoods.

Sexual Dimorphism : The neurophysiological anatomy of a Recidian makes telling the difference between a 'boy' and 'girl' a living nightmare due to their adorable yet androgynous appearance. Fortunately, the key to differentiating between the two is through identifying key personality traits that make it much easier to figure out the difference. Males are more on the aggressive, domineering side while females tend to be more sociable and affectionate, as well as being keener on preening themselves, adorning their quills with flowers or using hairbands to manipulate their hair shape. Aside from personality, males are the ones that possess the ovarian egg bearing structures while females possess the gamete producing structure.

Sexuality : Polyamorous, Recidians tend to form large mating groups that normally consist of 4 to 8 partners. It is common to find devices designed for mechanical stimulation that assist in their mating rituals and for mental stimulation.

Reproduction : Recidians are known to be prolific breeders, it is often joked that this race breeds out of sheer boredom whenever they don't have a set goal in mind. It is somewhat true that Recidians will engage in coitus due to lack of any tasks to be performed at hand or loses interest in their current objective. Environment affects when they mate as well, normally during and after the wet seasons when humidity increases, so does the Recidians libido and propensity to mate. The truth is behind the rumor of their fast reproduction is the fact they reach sexual maturity at 6 years of age.

Fertilization : Viviparous

Gestation : 2.5 months; 3 months on Earth

Brooding (Average # of offspring): 3 to 5 offspring per litter; younger Recidians tend to yield less offspring; High rates of identical twins twins

Abilities/Traits: Recidians have been extensively researched Daesidyne Biologists and Varandion Physicians in order to release information on the proper care of these unique beings.

Coffee! Coffee! Coffee! A Varandion doctor that resided in Tol'Ris who had acquire Recidian "Assistant" learned that the Recidians are highly effected by stimulants and depressants, after the tenrec-like humanoid in question had taken a sip of his morning Jaka Root brew, a common remedy for early morning grogginess, left her in an agitated state to the point where she was completely focused at any task at hand. After her chores were completed, she proceeded to stimulate herself until administered a light depressant where she slept for rest of the afternoon. Recidians are lightweights in terms of drugs, due to both the combination of their size and neurophysiology, heaven forbid if you gave one an aphrodisiac then that's whole another slew of problems.

Amatory Syndrome , Recidian Psychiatrists, before the invasion were able to diagnose young individuals who possessed particularly rare mental illness that affected the portions of their brain structure that controls arousal. This syndrome somewhat uncommon amongst the general population, commonly found in remote tribal populations that go through periods of sporadic precipitation, though it is unclear what causes it to develop in the first place. Common symptoms of this illness are insomnia, high physical energy levels and periods of Hyper-arousal characterized by a nigh unbreakable focus on mating, accompanied by a lack of interest in normal activities.

Luckily, patients affected by this ailment only experience this cyclically or in response to certain environmental aspect, meaning they will act normally in any given situation until the proper stimuli is provided.

Let's Build! Recidians have a natural instinct to build, partially due to their thought processes stemming from both Hemispheres of their brain. They are a race both dominated by logic and creativity, well more along the creative side but their logic helps fuel the desire to build machines and wonderful devices. It is said that Recidians as a race have a child-like mind and the entire universe is their sandbox to play in...

Oooh, Shiny! Recidians are naturally inclined to happen upon ferromagnetic metals, namely Iron, Nickel, Aluminum, and other magnetic metals. This is because the above average amount of magnesium found within their neurology, enabling them to detect these keystones of their civilization through what is described as a "Pleasant tingly feeling" that grows in close proximity to these resources. It also mysteriously happens to increase a Recidian's natural energy when in their presence to slight degree. This trait is also a double edged sword in its own right because Recidians emit a radar signature when the equipment in question is tuned to their natural wavelength.

Wait, What?... One of the Recidians greatest natural defenses is their adorably androgynous appearance which often confuses other races to no extent, much less when they try to explain their concept of gender then a book gets thrown out the window by a Daesidyne Geneticist in an effort to make sense of it all. This Mechanism makes it incredibly difficult to determine between the two genders amongst their race, except the Recidians themselves who can seem to figure out pretty easily, which initially drove Ga'Roa Slavers, namely the Varandions, nuts trying to do inventory on their stock.
