Origin & History

The species comes from deep within the galaxy. They’re planet is covered in natural light 24 hours every day. There are several light producing planets that orbit the home world. There society is highly conservative, and is lead by a semi-monarchy, where the ruler makes a decision and then the noble houses vote to it’s resolution. Technology is highly advanced on the planet. The Stricta Plantae have developed robots to mine and work underground. The people often build virtual intelligent machines to do their menial task’s. As such it isn’t unlikely to find a robot of some type accompanying them. The species is not inherently war like, preferring a quick conflict resolution without any violence. But in recent times they have been known to unleash weapons of power unlike most in the galaxy.

Every Stricta Plantae is a member of one of the four royal houses. This is a fact of who they come from. It isn’t to say that every being is royal, it is to say that every being has a place in society. A group to call family as it were. Most Stricta accept their roles in their houses, but a rare few choose to exile themselves from such, ‘restrictions.’ The exiled are not necessarily as it were exiled, they are however looked down upon, and frowned at. These exiles can hope to only gain work as a laborer, and will be assigned exclusively tasks that most Stricta task with their robots alone.

A Stricta is a never ending cycle of life. Meaning that every Stricta that has died on the home planet is considered to have attributed itself to the birth of others through it’s decomposition. A Stricta can live as long as it gains natural energy from the sun, soil, and nutritional food stuffs composed of basic compounds that support a plants cells. This is not to say that a Stricta will never age to a point of death, but it is to say that the race is incredibly long lived. With the current ruler having ruled for the past 600 years.
