The Inari (Second Human Empire: Hamo Cuik'uni Suikn'ni) are a genetically engineered subspecies of humans and inhabit the planet Inaris. The Inari joined the Axis of Empires during their occupation ofand for protection from the Magog and the Chimera until the revival of the Systems Commonwealth made the Inari to turn against the Axis in favour of joining the Commonwealth and the Alliance of Nations.
Physiology[]
he Inari have one major physical difference from their Human cousins, their boney head ridges which hide extra nerve sensors, they are made for survival in low-light volcanic environments, due to their lower amount genetic modifications, they can still interbreed with standard Humans.
History[]
When humans from the Vuytti verse first joined the Systems Commonwealth, genetic engineering became commonplace among their civilization. The Inari were one of the first human derivative races. The first INaris settled on planet they named Inaris as their homeworld.
During the Long Night, Inaris managed to avoid many of the problems faced by other worlds in the three galaxies from their universe. Unfortunately, the Inari were tricked by a male, purple skinned being into engaging in a civil war. By the war's end, over half of their population was killed and large portions of the surface of Inaris lay devastated. They came into contact with the Axis of Empires and gave no choice but to offer their support for them in return for protection from the invading species like the Chimera (Ruui'iio). Since Inaris has almost no natural resources to keep their economy running, except elements produced by the volcanic network on their planet to trade for the Axis to keep their end of the bargain, the Inari soon had to rely on a black market trade of ammonium phosphate with the Pyrians. To the methane breathing Pyrians, the ammonium phosphate produced by the Inari was an addictive and fatal narcotic. However, the Pyrian government caught on and demanded that the Inari cease exporting the substance to Pyrian space. However, corrupt mining guilds that controlled the Inari government rejected their demands and began to silence any opposition to the trade, so the Pyrians attacked any Inari cargo vessel that carried the drug.
When the Andromeda Ascendant came to enlist Inaris for a new Commonwealth, an Inari faction that required the drug trade lied to Dylan and claimed that they had no idea why they were being attacked, and asked them to stop the Pyrians from destroying their ships, nor why how they remained untouched by the Axis for many years. However, when the Andromeda and her crew discovered the truth, one of the Inari officers was arrested and handed over to the Syrians.
Meanwhile, a Professor Logitch interrogated Trance Gemini, believing that she was on Inaris to pick up where the other being like she left off; he even tried to develop a means to kill her, to prepare the Inari for defense if beings like her return, but it had no effect. She told him that her predecessor was just bored and she was not like him.
Inaris signed the Systems Commonwealth charter and became one of its first new members when they officially cut ties with the Axis of Empires in favour of the Alliance.
