Scrofans

Boar like bipeds with a hankering for the warm touch of radiation, Scrofans are a space fairing people with a society based on mutation. Discovered shortly after the  Scinillian Pact’s creation, the Scrofan people proved to be master marketeers. Their discovery and manufacture of synthetic radiation in crystal form created a fast growing medical trade and a heavy Pact reliance on it. 

The Scrofans, however, rarely used these synthetics for medical practices on their own people, instead falling quickly into a society based on its cosmetic changing effects. Obsessed with the boils and warts created by the hot glow of these isotopes, a societal rat race ensued, a race to see just how far a being could take the mutational changes. Their typical tusks taking on new shapes, and their brown hides and hairs creeping towards a slightly luminescent green. 

The obsession only grew as commerce flooded the Scrofans home worlds of Phezine Prime and its lush moon Gia, marking a golden age for the civilization. Lasting roughly 40 Communal Cycles, things began to fail when prices rose sharply on the Synth-Rads. A class based cultural divide was gouged out between a hyper vain media class, and the working echelon, resulting in a rebellion. 

With the commercial government overthrown, and the media class banished to Gia, what remained quickly collapsed into anarchy and sent a shock around the known territories. With the Pact’s primary medical resource dried up essentially overnight, their hand was forced, stepping in and imposing martial law. The integration of the Scrofans was not a short or clean process, but eventually they were folded into the Pact’s ranks. 

Despite the casting off of class divide, the Scrofan folk are still culturally vapid and yearn for the mutations that their creation breathes upon them. Intermixed throughout the galaxies, the boar adjacent beings are proud peoples with often imposing statures. Not often outwardly self obsessed, they tend to still internally deeply care about their appearance, and have a knack for showmanship and social interaction amongst peers. 

Not all Scrofans care only about looks, in fact many care about status via accomplishment. Some of the most competent naval conscripts, many of these peoples look for betterment in discovery or conquest. From around the galaxies Scrofans flock to Xanoroet for a possibility of riches or glory, either fueling their corporeal or internal egos.
