Name: Mobbosans, from the planet Mobbos
Appearance: Humanoid, tall, virtually identical to humans except they typically stand around 2m tall. Few are taller than the tallest humans and they are not significantly different biologically from humans.
Attitude: They are now a neutral people who like to preserve things and promote peace most of the time. They rarely venture beyond their home star system. They still fight when they must, however, and haven't lost their fierce spirit during battle. It is believed the Mobbosans before the dark age were very warlike.
Technology/Backstory: Mobbosan technology can be divided into three ages: The Golden Age, The Dark Age, and The Age of Awakening.
In the Golden Age, scraps of history from various planets seems to indicate the Mobbosans developed advanced weaponry and space travel at an astonishing pace. There is some speculation that an advanced race may have given them technology that they were not ready for but there has been little to no evidence found to support this theory.
At any rate, they were starting to conquer nearby planets when a civil war on the planet the started in about the 18th century quickly ravaged the home planet. The entire population was nearly wiped out by some sort of biological weapon of an unknown nature. Bombs and missiles seem to have leveled most of the cities around the globe. Only a small percentage of the population survived.
It is unknown if any Golden Age Mobbosan military outposts still exist. All known outposts found were taken over by other races.
The people of the Dark Age had about the same level of technology as 13th century England, though they were a little better off in terms of medical technology.
Today, they mainly focus on stasis and ecological technology and have an emphasis on preserving and nurturing things. It's their people's hope today that they have learned from the error of their past warlike ways.
They have researched "interstellar" travel as of the 21st century though their propulsion is only a little more advanced than the contemporary human technology with regard to space flight. Their golden age drive design remains lost to the ages. Their weaponry today mainly consists of stunning devices though if turned up to high settings they can inflict serious nerve damage or even kill.
Present: Mobbosans of today want to build their species up. Modern Mobbosans are a bit xenophobic and do not like going outside of their system too much. Most of the time, they are sifting through artifacts, hoping to find and translate ancient writing that will allow them to regain lost technology. Currently, they are trying to break new ground in looking into ways to rejuvenate their sun should it ever go critical and ways to create liveable environments on the large asteroids in their system.
