Laturak

Sentient Species of the Large Magellanic Cloud -TL 6 AL 9

Former Warrior Species of the Attikan Commonwealth

Legend has it, that the Laturak are the product of Genetic engineering, performed either by Attikan many thousand years ago, or prhaps by themselves.

Union Scientist confirm that the DNA information has been drastically altered  but has adjusted itself after many centuries into a naturally replicating DNA.

The Laturak are the "Nul " or the "Pertharians " of their respective galaxy.

For many centuries they had acted as the enforcers of the Attikan.

They are physically strong and can tollerate a wide range of temperatures an environments, but they are technically dependent on the Attikans as they have

no engineers or technicians. Their enormous hands are incapable of manipulating small objects, a pre requisite needed to build weapons and more complicated tech.

With the Attikans abandoning their empire building and declaring a Commonwealth, the Laturak despite their fighting abilities had been attacked by  other weaker beings with

control over better weapons.

The Laturak were among the very first to follow the Attikans to become Union Members.

Finding a great outlet for their fighting abilities in the Union Marines, Many Laturak realizing that they are not the strongest or toughest (Similar to the Bootnar) started to find employment

in other fields.

Today it is not uncommon to find a Laturak medic, School teacher or Space Bus pilot (or in any other occupation) but many still sign up with the USMC.

Biologically they are mono sexual and have only "male" members. They reproduce by combining DNA matter in a  so called Combiner.

A new Laturak is breed and grows to full size in  9-10 standard month, after which they start learning

Average life span 90 years.

The average Laturak stands 310 cm tall and weighs up to 350 kilos.
