Uophet
Government: Stratocracy
Planet: Ciayama
The Uophet are a werewolf like species that are the dominant race on deathworld Ciayama. The are war-like space that take "survival of the fittest" to its logical conclusion. This thought process was developed because of their homeworld of Ciayama, consisting of environments similar to earth only more dangerous, forced them to survive at all cost. Deadly fauna and flora killed both the weak and the foolish, leaving only the strong and cunning alive. Do to the new Industrial Age, urbanization has increased the size Uophet territory from small city states and kingdoms into empires and nations.
Physiology
A Uophet consist of werewolf-like physical features and have a range of fur colors consisting of black, brown, grey, or white. A Uophet's height is between 8 to 10 feet tall when at physical maturity. Uophet are capable of enhanced speed, agility, strength, and senses making them effective killers. They are capable of running at 40 miles per hour in order to chase down their prey and their agility is roughly equal to that of an olympic gymnast. Their sense of smell allows them to track their prey for miles and distinguish different scents from each other. Due to the harshness of the homeworld, the Uophet species are capable of birth a litter of 8 pups after an six months period. Uophets are carnivorous species and capable of devouring nearly any meat due to their strong physiology. The claws and fangs of the Uophet are capable of piercing steel if struck in the location and with enough force.
Government
The Government of the Uophet is Stratocratic in nature with pieces of meritocracy and Oligarchy. The ruling body of the Uophet species is the War Council which consist of the highest ranking military leaders of the Uophet from all military factions within the military. There are 24 open seats on the War Council with member of the Council serving a limited term of service. A service term on the War Council lasts for six years and by the seventh year the term has ended. If a Council member dies before his term is up than a replacement is found from a list of candidates A successor can be chosen be a Council member but said successor must be approved by the rest of the council.
Culture
War and survival.
These are the driving forces of Uophet civilization and an essential part of their identity. This has led to them having a military culture where their society, technology, and even relationships is dedicated to warfare. In Uophet society weakness and foolishness is seen as something to be scorned and stamped out as much as possible. If one is found to be weak in physically, mentally, and/or spiritually than they considered an Omega which is the bottom rung of Uophet society. Slavery is a common practice of Uophet society as it seen that the weak must serve the strong. Although, it's rare that conquered enemies are either absorbed into the conquering faction. Uophet value Honor, loyalty, and strength; a Uophet will never truly lie to you (though it doesn't mean they can't withhold the truth) nor does he use deceit, to trust is highly valued thus is not freely given, and if you capable of rising than you are respected.
Uophet society neither hinders nor supports the individual, the "field" is equal for everyone and thus if you have the will than you can rise. This means gender, pack, legions and etc. doesn't affect your place in society, strength and skill does. Even a slave is capable of rising to prominence given time and proper resources with many slaves finding such tales inspiring.
The Uophet are an industrial species due to their war like nature and producing powerful military technology - weapons, war machines, and mass production. Psychic powers in Uophet society is considered a tool more than anything else, so long as its applications are useful in combat than it is accepted.
Religion
The Uophet have a small pantheon of gods in with worship varying from God to God.
Keemis the God of War and lord of blood: He is the head patriarch of the Uophet pantheon and believed to be the source of conflict on Ciayama. He appears as a large Uophet with blood colored fur, eyes like magma, black and red armor, and wielding a bloody war axe. Surrounding his neck is a necklace made of the skulls of his enemies; Yhena the Lady of winter, Fiwbum the insane, and Ephione queen of misfortune. It is believed by the Uophet that he taught their ancestors the ways of martial combat and started the first war on Ciayama. Keemis enjoys watching conflict on the battlefield and it is believed that warriors of great martial skill are inducted into his divine legion. He sits upon a throne made up of the bones of fallen warriors surrounded by a lake of blood.
Ohena goddess of fertility and the great mother: she appears as a Uophet with pure white fur, a slim figure, leather armor, and a short sword. She is a motherly goddess and is the eternal mate of Keemis. During mating season, offerings are made to her in belief that she will bless those desiring children.
Istus, God of Death and hunter of spirits: 1st born of Keemis and ohena, Istus is a pitch black Uophet who takes the souls of the dead into the well deserved rest. He is a faithful son to his father and one is never far from the other. Istus is all business and task his role as god of Death very seriously, making sure the dead are collected once it's their time.
The Butcher, God of Hatred: a crimsons colored bull-like creature that symbolizes rage. He is the faithful pet of Keemis and is used to hunt down cowards who flee from battle. Legends say that when Keemis and the Butcher first they clashed in an epic that created the continents of Ciayama
Soruer, god of Chaos and son of Fiwbum and Ephione: a raven- like god known for his trickery and deception that often leads to misfortune. Soruer inherited his father's insanity and his mother's desire for misfortune. He is a deceiver by his very nature and has a variety of disguises in which he uses to trick people. His "tricks" often range minor to cataclysmic, thus he is hated in Uophet culture and is often blamed for major disasters. Soruer is a coward at heart thus he will never fight directly or honorably preferring for others to do it for him.
Mybnera, the new Goddess of Winter: mybnera is a creature made of ice and snow who represents the winter season. She is the daughter and heir of Yhena thus she was angered when her mother was killed by the War god. She does all she can in making the winter time as harsh as possible for the Uophet. Cold and cruel, the thought of mercy is foreign to Mybnera's mind and she would prefer to have Ciayama be buried in a eternal winter. It is prophesied that she would bring the Last Winter upon the world once they great catastrophes were enacted though no one knows what they are.
Military
The Uophet military is organized of several divisions: Spec ops, the Blood Guard, the Psy core, reconnaissance, Air Force, and the Marine Corp. Each Organization plays a key role in Uophet society. The Hierarchy for Uophet from lowest to highest is the soldier to the Lucian. Close-quarter combat is taught to all divisions though the methods and style of CQC may very between them. Soldiers are to follow orders of their superiors unless the orders given found to be foolish in nature. For example, a Uophet commander order their soldiers against a foe they cannot win. Military training is brutal with an 60-65% chance of death within the first year. The combat doctrine of the Uophet varies among the among the divisions but there are several constants:

- soldiers are to engage in CQC whenever they are in personal range of their enemy. If CQC is proven ineffective than it shall be discarded for pure range and mystical combat.
- all enemy key locations are either to be captured or destroyed
- civilians and other non-combatants shall not be harmed as much as possible, attacking those unable to fight is the coward's way of battle
