- Breathes: Type I - III
- Average Height of Adults: 2.7m
- Average Length of Adults: N/A
- Skin color: Gray Skin
- Hair color: Light Gray, White, Brown, or Medium Brown fur
- Distinctions: Compared to average Humans, the Thrum'dral tower over the average person. Their muscular structure is also much more advanced than an average human making them much stronger and able to lift many times more than an average person could. The most common of the Thrum'dral are those with Brown or Medium Brown fur, these are those delegated to the lower tiers of society, with only few reaching the higher status' that can be achieved in the Thrum'dral lifestyle. Light gray is the next most common, with many high ranking Thrum'dral being of the Light Gray fur coats. Lastly is those who are gifted with White fur, these Thrum'dral live at the highest tier of the society and are among the leaders of their people. Most Thrum'dral can grow long manes upon their head along with long facial hair. The women of the Thrum'dral tend to be mostly bald on their head, with some Grey and White furred Thrum'dral women being able to grow long manes like their male counterparts.
- Races:
- Thruum: The Thruum are those chosen by the Bryn’adul to become leaders among their people in the great war effort. Thruum have their minds genetically altered, increasing their natural intelligence levels to better allow them to lead their peers, and communicate with their new Bryn’adul allies.
- Thrum'kra: Thrum'kra are those among their species who have not undergone the genetic changes that have elevated the Thruums to their place of prominence in society. They are less intelligent, more violent, and less able to control themselves. They are the most common Thrum’dral.
- Thrum're: The Thrum're are those Thruum who have, for one reason or another failed to take to the genetic alterations of the Bryn’adul fully. They are more intelligent than their Thrum'kra brothers and sisters, but suffer from occasional fits of berserker rage. This is when their natural instincts overcome the genetic alterations made to them, and they lose all higher brain functions in a blind fury.
- Thul'desh: The Thul'desh are the Shaman's of the Thrum'dral people, these are the ones that for eons before meeting any external life in the galaxy helped lead their people, using their abilities in the force to sense oncoming storms and also aiding in healing wounded warriors that had gone on hunts and other such duties as a shaman would have. With the introduction of genetic enhancements by their joining of the Bryn'adul, their place in society has shifted majorly. The shamans are more akin to Battlemasters, they help aid their warriors in battle by giving them boons of strength and speed, they are also able to control the Thrum're, ore those who have succumbed to the rage inside. With this ability instead of blind rampage through the battlefields knowing neither friend or foe, these shamans can push the Thrum're in the correct direction and harness their bloodlust.
- Thresh: The Thresh are the common-folk of the Thrum'dral society. These are the backs that the whole planet of Thruk is able to function as a sizeable influence in the Bryn'adul. They have an average IQ compared to those that have undergone augmentations.
- Force Sensitivity: Standard
- Above Average Intelligence: Due to the genetic enhancements the Thrum'dral have above average intelligence and use it to great ability on the battlefield.
- Brute Strength: Due to their weight, size, and muscular structure the Thrum'dral have a massive reserve of strength, being able to lift many times their body weight with ease.
- Loyalty: Their Loyalty is to be unmatched, each loyal to their leaders and partners, almost akin to a pet dog, unwavering loyalty especially to those who have proven themselves on the battlefield.
- Uncontrollable Rage: Those who have failed when given the genetic enhancements become those of the Thrum're, more beast than man who only know unbridled rage that can only be controlled by the hands of the Thul'desh destroying everything and anything around them, friend or foe.
A Little Lesson in Trickery: Although their intelligence on the battlefield is greatly increased, their ability to detect subterfuge is to be desired, the common member of the Thrum'dral being confused by common swindlers tricks across the galaxy.... just don't let them find out.
- Diet: Omnivore
- Communication: Verbal | Draelvasier language
- Technology level: Primitive
- Religion/Beliefs:
The Way: The Shamans of each pack have been taught about the stars and the great divination that has been foretold from eons before. That the people that inhabited Thruk would one day dominate the galaxy in a grand coalition of other beasts and creatures that they had never seen before. Each Shaman told the story of this across the world of Thruk, some believed they would be the masters of these lesser being, some believed that they would be united in commonality and goals. Others believed this to be utter falsehoods and lies. Whatever the people believed this was the way, the people of Thruk would become more powerful than even they could imagine, and one day their legacy would be etched among the stars. - General behavior:
Every male member of the Thrum'dral who have undergone the augmentations and have become Thrum'kra are put into the social hierarchy of the Thrum'dral.
- Alpha Tribes: The political body of the Thrum'dral, and are comprised of smaller Master Packs, and is led by head Thruum, or the High Elder of the Thrum'dral people.
- Master Packs: These are more militaary oriented groups, these Master-Packs are comprised of many smaller packs. Before encountering the Bryn'adul many Master Packs warred on Thruk keeping them from evolving much past a late medieval period of armor and simple martial weapons and siege equipment.
- Packs: These range in size and importance, with less important packs made up of Thrum'kra and even Thrum're and are led by Thrum'kra attempting to become Thruum, but more important packs can be led by lower ranking Thruum depending on the roles assigned to the pack.
EVOLUTION
The beginning of the Thrum'dral like all species across the galaxy began when a group of primates evolved enough to form speech, and began to make simple tools such as spears and slings to aid in killing the deadly beasts that roamed around the dangerous planet of Thruk, using their wits to slay beasts many times their size and banding together as groups across the dangerous planet and slowly beginning to develop the culture of the Thrum'dral as those of warriors.
FIRST DYNASTY
Slowly the Thrum'dral race evolved slowly at first and then rapidly, finding of Iron and Steel and all other common metals that are laid across the universe led them into the different ages of weapons and warfare, each tribe fighting for the resources that enriched the soils and the lands of Thruk. One clan began to amass much more power than the rest, slowly tribes would join this clan in battle and their influence eventually spanned most of the planet. The fighting did not stop, villages still fought one another for influence and power, but they all answered to this all-powerful leader, one who donned himself as the High Elder. He was the end all be all in any discussion or decisions. This Thrum'dral was a warrior unmatched by any in his time, standing a foot or more above the average male of his species, and his coat a rare Red coat, unseen before, or after.
DARK AGES
For near a millennia did the first Dynasty rule, and then as if it had never existed it was wiped off the planet Thruk, every achievement made thrown back to the first stages of civilization. A massive plague had ravaged the people of Thruk, causing widespread death across the planet. To those who lived on the planet they never knew the true cause of this unknown plague, it had originated from a device that had landed on the remote parts of the planet, and had caused the people of Thruk to become sick, and had given the first of the Thul'desh their divination of prophesy, of their mighty destiny that was to befall the people of the Thrum'dral.
MODERN DYNASTY
After the plague had subsided on the planet, slowly the people began to crawl back towards the goals that their people had known generations before, slowly rebuilding their population as they each fought for dominance and power once more. As all civilizations do they rose and fell over the course of many generations until finally a new High Elder reunited the planet underneath his influence and the cycle seemed ere to renew. But before any new apocalyptic plague could effect the Thrum'dral, the heavens opened up and the Bryn arrived on the planet. At the time of the Bryn's arrival the Thrum'dral had barely begun to fashion guns onto their boats to kill each other more efficiently, but that would all change in the blink of an eye.
THE ARRIVAL
With the blink of an eye the world of Thruk and the Thrum'dral as a people changed, super structures were planted into the planet cities emerging overnight, these simple beings who had just figured out gunpowder were now being pumped with so much information of the grandness that the galaxy truly held. This is what required the Thrum'dral to take the genetic enhancements, they needed their brains to be able to adapt to all the new information and technology being thrown at them, and those that couldn't adapt either died, or loss their grip on reality and became one of the Thrum're.
THE FIRST INVASIONS
Their new found intelligence and enhancements they were sent to join the rest of the Bryn forces on the frontlines, the invasion of the rest of the galaxy had began, and the Thrum'drals newfound place in the galaxy was soon to be tested, their resolve in their faith shone brightly as these recently primitive people began to ravage the battle-scape with their rage and strength. Their genetic enhancements made them stronger, faster, more intelligent then even they could imagine allowing for them to be a great force to be pitted against. Sadly, as all things go in the galaxy in which the Thrum'dral are born, the dominance did not last long. As if a knife was stabbed into the hearts of the Bryn'adul everything they had achieved against the dirty Jedi seemed to disappear in an instant.
THE RESERGANCE
The Thrum'dral retreated back to their home-world of Thruk, and began to gather their strength and resources, knowing that their purpose in the galaxy was with the Bryn at their side and that if they were to win against the harsh reality and brutality of galactic domination, the Bryn would need the Thrum'dral to be stronger than ever before.
