Faction: Neutral.

Homeworld: Umbra

Description: The Umbrans are very Militaristic so they are quite powerfull, However the days of the mighty "Romulas" Empire is long gone, So there empire has been reduced to a fraction of its former power. Umbrans depending on there social class, are differnt colours, there naturally built for comabt, haveing "wicked" claws and scaled hide.

History:During the long forgotten days of myth , were beasts of Shadow and Flame roamed the land, and the umbrans lived in fear of shadow, in these dark days arised the first Umbrian Emperor, Romulas the 1rst, He united the divided tribes and fought a very long and bloody war against a race so ancient that only there names are rembered, the "Formorians", During the legendary battle of "Mhal'Brosakha" Romulas armies were being pushed back by the Formorians forces, desprate Romulas yelled out a challenge to the formorian king, Nhal'che the Forgotten One, In a epic battle the 2 leaders fought a battle of epic size, In terror both armies watch as there leaders fought to the death, Armed with the legandary "Claw of the Shadowed Demon" Romulas fougth with all his might, but it was not enough, The king starting to loose his strength Nhal'che , in a instant, Grabbed romulas by the back and snapped his back in one instant, while roaring a victory chant, he threw the crippled emperors body to the ground, In that instant all hope faded as the formorian army started to massacre the de-moralised umbran army, it said that romulas did something dark and evil that not many Umbran historians talk about it, In ancient myth its said that his weapon "The claw of the shadowed demon" was actually a vessel or "Prision" of a demon of the ancient times, Its said in his final momments romulas made a deal with the demon in exchange for the defeat of the formorian army, No one knows what truly happened in this momment but the formorian army was indeed defeated. Romulas the first body was never found. After this the "Umbran" Empire was formed, The Empire soon conquered the whole planet. a couple thousand years latter the Umbran Empire emerged into space, at the peak of its power it controlled a total of 90 Planets, However due to war, Civil unrest, and Econmic problems the empire started to decline, Currently the empire controls 12 systems and is rapidly declining. The empires current Emperor Is Emperor Titus IIII Romulas.

Epic War involvement: The Umbrian Empire has several trade routes with both the "Peace keepers" and "Warlords", however they dislike the Diabloians, And they refuse to take part in most conflicts, However they have fought beside the peace keepers a handfull of times.

Culture: Honour is a major thing in Umbran Culture, As such it would be far to consider the umbran as a "war" like nation. Soldiers in the "Legion" are required to follow ALL orders no matter how harsh they may seem, however officers are required to treat enemy soldiers with respect, that does not extend to civillians, Officers are aloud if they wish, to murder civillians, Failure to follow orders and desertion can be punished in a number of ways, the most extreme way is "Death of company", when the deserter of "traitors" company is also punished, every second man in the company is excuted by "Nhalsaks bane" which is being burned alive infront of the victims company. Females are treated as equals, mostly, however they can only become up to rank "centurion" in the legion. The leader of the empire is of course the "Emperor", The emperor has complete control of Economic, Social and millitary parts of the goverment. Then there is the senate, Compossed of 5 senators per planet, And finally there are Govenors and princes, Princes and govenors have the same power but to get to the rank is a differnt matter entirley, Princes are born into the royal family, the blood of romulas flows threw there vains, Governor is the highest rank in the legion. And finally the last "Politcal" rank is of course the general, There are as much a member of the goverment then a senator, there are currently 15 generals for every legion, and there are 3 High Generals for each 5 legion.

Military: The umbrian Legion is famous for its EXTREMLEY Powerfull artillery, its also famous for its powerfull Infantry, however its equally Infamous for its horrible Air force, Useing sub-par Aircrafts there air force is considered one of the worst in the galaxy, however due to it being primitive they can mass produce them. The umbran army is divided into "Legions', there are 15 legions, all having around 100 thousand soldiers or "Legionarys" in them. Each legion is commanded by a prince or General. The most common weapon is the deadly "Viper Gladuis" A poison tipped blade, they also wield deadly "energy claws", the most famous is the "Claw of the shadowed demon", which romulas the first used during his final battle. Its navy is decent but only decent. The blood line of romulas is known for bravery, as such, The emperor leads all major attacks against the enemys of the empire. Also numerous "Princes" of the empire have psionic abiltys, the stange thing is that only umbrians of the blood line of romulas posses these abilitys, however some princes have refused to use them declaring them "Un-honourable". The umbran Legion is a mere fraction of its former power. The Umbran space fleet is also decent, however it is decent, not good not bad, just decent.

Leaders: Emperor Titus Romulas III: "Victory will come at a price men, we all must sacrifce a little piece of us, for Romulas!, for the Empire!!!": Considered by many to be one of the greatest warriors of the umbrian race, Titus is a a veteren of many battles and wars, Titus rarely has time to enjoy the legendary imperial palace and instead spends most of his time on the front lines leading his men into countless battles in a desperate attempt to save his dying empire. He is well-loved by the common folk and by the legions but the senate finds him very distastefull.
