Maltyran

Union Member Species - Native to the Spinward Sector : Al 7 TL 8+  (before Union Member Ship) Spread : 1 Star System

The Maltyr developed out of a Saresii Colony from the Time of the First Age of Knowledge but have severed their association with their Mother race even long before the Saresii Empire fell. That the Maltyrians were of Saresii origin came only recently to light as Scholars found old documents in Vaults of Sares that matched documents on Maltyr. Detailed DNA psychology confirmed it. Their physiology has greatly changed so no one made the connection before.

The Maltyrians are a seclusive society that in general does not mingle much with the rest of the Union. They made the decision to join primarily as they feared Kermac rule if they stayed independent. As member of the Union they could be as much or as little involved as they wanted. Over the the centuries, their self imposed seclusive has subsided and more and more Maltyrians venture off their planet and star system. Many Maltyran find science and scholastic occupations to their liking but a few have found their way into the Armed Forces. Maltyran have a great love of law. Many very famous law firms can be found on Maltyr. There is a famous law school on their Home planet as well.

Maltyrians have a very long life span and can age up to 12,000 standard years, but it takes them 80- 100 years to grow up and become adults. They sleep much more than many other humanoid beings and can take hibernating deep sleeps of up to 2 years. While they are able to function and interact with others and can stay awake for month on end, they then need weeks of sleep. Maltyrians usually sleep 8-12 hours a day when they can. They do not laugh in public and find the display of emotions in public quite vulgar. Mating and committing to procreate also takes many decades. A new Maltyran child is only allowed when the death of an old Maltyran is to be expected. Their numbers don't increase and there are about 2 Million Maltyrians in the Union.

Their technology is very advanced, but not very militaristic. They excel in Data storage and data management technology. Their medical science is quite advanced and so is their Stasis tech.
