Hey again everyone this is related to my ai unit post. The Savrix are arthropods, they all have natural hard exoskeletons that protect their gushy insides. The average citizens of the Savrix Males roughly 5' 6" to 6', Females 5' 5" to 5' 8" (females also have flesh like chords coming out of their skulls, pheromone producing organs), all savrix have a kind of greyish white exoskeleton. The Savrix are a bit older than the tau (i havent figured out an exact age maybe about 4000 years older), Through their pre history there was constant infighting among the race on thier homeworld. As their technology slowly grew they found that there was another populated planet in thier local system that was hostile (native race there attacked them when they landed). This triggered a certain Nationalistic idea among all Savrix. They banded together (cause if they didnt theyd never win) and entered their first conquest as a global Savrix empire. They emerged victorious, but not satisfied. The Savrix wanted more conquest. Savrix are a very elitest, imperialistic, and militaristic culture (ironicaly like the Imperium of man ha). The Savrix have been recently attacking fringe worlds of the Calixis sector. They have conquered other planets in their local sector, some of them bacwwater human worlds, and imperial outpost worlds. They are a growing threat to the imperium of man.
Savrix Military- After their first conquest over the Golgans (natives of that planet) they assessed what they needed to do to have an effective military. The Warlord/Noble run government came up with a law. All Savrix couples need to produce atleast one male child every 2-3 months (doesnt take long for justation, and they take the children as babies), or hand over a female child with the psyker mutation (more on that later). One thing Savrix had become very advanced in was gene manipulation and gene enhancing technologies. The new babies taken in by the military are assessed for their traits. They are then sorted into different categories depending on genetic defects and other certain traits. After this they begin gene therapy, and gene manipulation on the babies. They are breed from a very young age to take apart of a certain role in the Savrix Military. It doesnt take long for Savrix to grow to a learning age roughly 6 to 8 months depending on the child (approx. age compared to humans 7-8). Then most Savrix soldiers (pending on what category they were sorted into) are ready and of fighting age by 1 to 1 1/2 years of age. Savrix soldiers have a very different appearance from regular Savrix depending on what role in the military they were breed to fight in. Most Savrix soldiers have been breed to go into a rage during combat, as the Savrix leadership believes that ruthless brutatlity is both a psychological and physical detriment to their enemies. An interesting class of soldier, and an interesting mutation, is the fact that the only Savrix Psykers are female. The Savrix themselves dnt know why this occurs, but they have accepted it at this point. These Psykers are known as Daughters of the Storm, and the more powerful psykers are known as Witches. Here now is a list of some stats ive typed up and background on what the troops have been breed for.
