Attributes (Cannot be overly OP):
Strength- The Cho' Gnaanth value strength over many other attributes, thus they are a race of incredibly strong creatures. (Roughly twice that of a normal human male)
Sight- Seeing in infrared solely gives the Cho' Gnaanth certain advantages and certain disadvantages. While up close they can see just fine, their long range vision is non-existent,
most Cho' Gnaanth can't see beyond 130 yards, just slightly more than a football field.
Artistic- Though valuing strength over many intellectual attributes, the Cho' Gnaanth are quite artistic, crafting wonderful works of art that are often sought after.

Name: Confederacy of Ra'Salm, AKA Confederacy, CoR(core)
Type of Government: Aristocracy of Chieftains
Leader(s):
Ra'Salm, Elder Chief of Gromalath tribe
Anu'Nudrian, Elder Chief of Drian tribe
Orgath Molo, Elder Chief of Ria'Sark tribe
Wert'yerra, Elder Chief of Gual Shir tribe
Home System: Big Red System
Home Planet/Moon: Pan, a lightly forested, mild temperature planet that easily supports Life. The north and south poles where once frosted over, but following a nuclear war some twenty years prior most of the ice caps have melted and left much of the planet underwater. Now, the planet is formed with three major continents(a map provided below).
a map for Pan, the scaling is a bit off for the map to fit on one image but basically; Kraas Sukai is slightly larger than the United States, Irt Irtis is larger than Alaska, and the Ji'r Archipelago is a massive scattering of Islands that spans most of the ocean on the Planet. Also, I only labeled the Capitols of the four Tribes, the largest city on the planet, and the launch pad area that the Cho' Gnaanth are using to work on their space program.
History: Cho' Gnaanth tribes have dated back before recorded history, many tribes rise and fall as do all great things. Much of the Cho' Gnaanth's history is unknown, the species has never had a written language and instead relied on direct face-to-face communication. This meant if two Chiefs wanted to discuss something, they would organize a meeting place and talk it out, or fight it out, whichever happened last. Cho' Gnaanth relied on "Fate Weavers" to retell history, often times they were the Elder female of the Tribe and would often distort what actually happened to better inspire that particular tribe. Thus, much of Cho' Gnaanth history is legend and mythology, many of the Elder Chiefs recognize this but refuse to change, it has always kept the Cho' Gnaanth inspired and happy and so long as one Fate Weaver didn't spin tales that aggravated another tribe, it maintained peace.
It wasn't until recently when a particularly brutal tribal war over territory almost forced the Cho' Gnaanth into extinction. Under the leadership of Ra'Salm, a neutral party in the conflict they united the Tribes under a Confederacy, united under multiple banners the Elder Chiefs of the four most powerful tribes forcefully indoctrinated all smaller tribes into the Confederacy and the Cho' Gnaanth tribes agreed to utilize each other to the others benefit.
A little bit on Culture/Lifestyle: Cho'Gnaanth are ruled by a strict hierarchy, from highest to lowest it goes; Fate Weaver, Elder Chief, Chief, Chieftain, Brood Mother, Scraag, Youngling, and Bru'ja(brooha) Fate Weavers, as said before are the eldest female of the Tribe, often times infertile and older than the average Cho' Gnaanth, they are responsible for the overall record keeping of the Cho' Gnaanth. Since the founding of the CoR, the Fate Weavers have began work on a written language to better keep the records of the species.
Elder Chiefs are the biggest, most proven males of the tribe. Anyone can become Elder Chief, but they must prove themselves better than the last. This includes feats of strength, skill, and Artistic capability. If an Elder Chief is killed in battle or dies of old age, the next ranking Chief becomes the Elder. If they prove to be incompetent, it is simple for another Cho' Gnaanth to overthrow him. Elder Chief's word is law, what they say goes, if the tribe disagrees with an Elder Chief, they are directly challenging him and his position must be proven against a competitor. He is also the only male that is allowed to breed, now much has changed since the tribal times but their biology is the same. While couples of Cho' Gnaanth is certainly strange, it is not uncommon for two Cho' Gnaanth to have a 'romantic' partnership. They are forbidden however to bear children, as a single female can lay almost 100 eggs from one pregnancy. Those born of any Cho' Gnaanth other than the Elder Chief are known as Bru'ja, the lowest of the low, often times killed as infants, if they grow to adult hood they are almost guaranteed to be forced into Slavery.
Chiefs are just under the Elder Chief, they are powerful and intelligent, they essentially are a micromanager as each is assigned a function and does their job as assigned by the Elder Chief. IE, there is a Chief of Warriors, a Chief of Mothers, a Chief of Art, ect. The Elder Chief tells them what he wants done and the Chiefs get it done. Chiefs are just as vulnerable to being replaced as an Elder Chief, the function is the same.
Chieftains are small time Military Leaders, essentially taking the place of "Generals and Admirals" they can be easily replaced just the same but advise the Chiefs on their actions.
Brood Mother, a female Cho' Gnaanth that is 'wife' to the Elder Chief, she is the sole source of newborns for the Tribe. Elder Chiefs can have as many Brood Mothers as they want, but under the Confederacy the limit is five. This was prevent overpopulation and the NEED to aggressively expand.
Scraags are the common man, they are soldiers, craftsmen, singers, and artists, they are majority of the Cho' Gnaanth. If they hold some position of authority or prowess, it can always be challenged by similar manner as replacing an Elder Chief.
Younglings, they are the children of the Cho' Gnaanth. Younglings mature rapidly, within 3 years they are fully functioning adult if a bit shorter and not as developed physically. When they turn 3 years of age, they take on an apprenticeship to a Scraag or Chieftain and learn the ways of the society. Between the ages 1-3, Younglings are free of all responsibility and can run out into the woods and die for all anyone cares.
Bru'ja, the unwanted children of the Cho' Gnaanth. Often times killed at birth, they make up the majority of slaves in the Confederacy.
Artistic skill is paramount among the Cho' Gnaanth. No matter their job, their way of life, even among the Bru'ja, artistic skill is a necessity. From the lowest Scraag to the Highest of Elder Chiefs, strength alone is never enough. They must demonstrate a work of art that is just as powerful as their muscles, be it a painting, a song, a ceramic creation, they must impress the other Cho' Gnaanth in order to be accepted.
Slavery- Cho' Gnaanth have no qualms about slavery, they are open to enslaving the Bru'ja and Slavery often serves as jail time for crimes committed. Depending on the severity of the crime, defines your time as a slave.
Other: Cho'Gnaanth religion is almost non-existent. Some believe the two moons of Pan bring good luck and most Cho' Gnaanth believe in Fate, that all things that happen, happen for reason but superstition is not large among the Cho' Gnaanth.
Apart from their "the strongest and brightest survive" form of leadership, it is uncommon for Cho' Gnaanth battles to be a bloodbath. Most willingly spare lives and set prisoners free (or enslave them for a few years before releasing them). It wasn't until the recent wars that battles became bloody. Because of their lack of written records, the true cause of this is unknown and the Fate Weavers of the Confederacy can't seem to agree who was more aggressive.
Thanks to a rare metal known as Rae Cra'ir, the Cho' Gnaanth have developed hover technology shortly after the formation of the Ra'Salm Confederacy. This gives their society the illusion of superior technology as floating cars and hovering war vehicles are common place.
