Philosophy
The Phyzians are a race of psychic theorists who, despite their cute looks, are battle-hardened warriors bent on revenge after a misunderstanding with several Peacekeeper empire desecrated their home planet. They are also famed theorists who have developed gadgets, such a wave-form warp drive.

Faction
Warlords

Homeworld
Quantos V, a world covered mainly by plains and tundra except for the subtropical and temperate bands of vegetation ringing the small tropical sea at its substellar point. The side eternally facing away from its sun is a subzero icescape. It is phase locked with its sun, a small red dwarf.

Description
The Phyzian are small, cobalt, thick-furred mammals with large golden eyes, and are extremely long-lived, lasting for around a thousand years. They can see most frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum, and their large brains are capable of understanding and perceiving incredibly complicated equations and states such as four dimensions and the wave-form of particles. They are also prone to arguing, especially about theories and epiphanies, which the smartest ones come up with daily. They are utterly ruthless in battle, taking no prisoners and destroying whole worlds on a whim.

History
The Phyzians were a peaceful race, minding their own business in the cosmos, and although they possessed the means, they had never colonized any worlds beyond several nearby systems. They continued this way for hundreds of years, until they were caught in the crossfire between a Virisus colonization fleet that invaded their home planet and a Peacekeeper defense force that attempted to drive the Warlords out. When they decided to assist the Peacekeepers, their ships were mistaken as more Warlords and shot down. Believing that this was actually a Warlord planet, the Peacekeepers laid waste to the planet after defeating the Virisus fleet. With their cities and orbital colonies in ruins, and millions of the populace dead, the Phyzians vowed revenge on the Peacekeepers and spent five years mobilizing for the war. To this day, they have believed that the desecration was the Peacekeepers' fault, but they retain their fued with the Virisus for getting them into the mess in the first place.

Epic War Involvement
During five years of mobilization, the Phyzians have developed new military technologies and rival the Flytals in their ingenuity and sophistication. Now they are working on a new weapon that could spell disaster for the Peacekeepers in their first attack (which occurs during the adventure).

Culture
In contrast with their usually negative exchanges with other races, Phyzians are quite agreeable among their own, especially during trade and economics. They have a highly developed economy with virtually no inflation and use a currency called "Chrona" (As in ,"That will be twenty Chronas"). Many Phyzians work on or own mining vessels, as the Phyzians prize the rare mineral Ithirium, which has many properties useful to their technology, and will go to any lengths to get it, even if it means mining the core of a inhabited planet. They have a government based on military achievements, and their leader is elected from a council of generals and retains the leadership for as long as they keep getting elected. Their current leader is Auren Gyrus, a famed commander who was one of the first ones to fight back against the Peacekeepers. He has been leader for ten years, since five years after the Phyzians joined the war (since the intro adventure). The Phyzians do not have a god, or really any religion whatsoever, except that sometimes it may seem that they worship science.

Military
The Phyzian employ gorilla warfare (it's like guerilla warfare, but hairier) and specialize in ambush tactics such as dropping out of wave-form warp and wreak havoc (usually completely destroying their enemies, who have absolutely no prior warning due to their advanced cloaking technology), and then immediately warping away.
