The Procyonsare a sapient, spacefaring species that originated on the frozen planet of Laar, the capital of the Procyon Expanse. Known throughout the Malica universe to be a territorial, and fearsome race of warriors, the Procyons were one of the major rivals of the Terran Empire and the United Galactic Federation. When the Empire of the Heartless emerged as a greater threat to all three major powers, the Procyons suffered greatly by the Heartless, decided to join forces with their former rivals/enemies against a mutual foe, the Procyons decided to the United Commonwealths of Worlds.
History[]
Early History[]
The Procyons hailed from the frozen planet of Laar, presumably their earlier ancestors adapted to the changing climate as their homeworld enters an ice age or moved further from its orbit of the host star. The Proycons' earliest known civilizations were feudal tribes, they fought one another until at a certain point in history they came together under the banner of the Procyon Expanse.]
Stellar Age[]
The Procyons achieved the development of interstellar travel, expanding their territories beyond their world, colonising neighbouring planets in their native region of their home galaxy. the Procyons first discovered there be other civilizations with their first confrontation against the Terran Empire.
Biology[]
Procyons are a mammalian bipedal species that resemble the Racoon, they are on average smaller than humans, often standing at chest height, and have a thick fur that provides warmth on their homeworld of Laar due to its cold temperatures. Thus their clothing tends to be more for ornate or protective rather then for warmth. Despite their size, Procyons possess a 20% higher muscle-to-bone ratio than Humans putting their strength on par with one another.
Procyon fur ranges from various shades of brown and rust to jet-black and can include white-striping and greying streaks in older members. The size and intracies of the patches under the eyes reflects social rank, and the noblest of Procyon families have the largest patches. Because of this, Procyons who have managed to rise through the military and social ranks will wear ornamental eye masks in order to enhance their appearance among their peers.
Although they resemble Racoons, Felinids have been known to depreciatively refer to them as "rodents", though this is mostly an insult, since they seem more biologically similar to raccoons, which belong to the order "Carnivora".
Culture and Society[]
Procyons are widely known to be very inventive, territorial, and predatory race with a long standing warrior tradition. Procyons usually only have one name, which is usually a two syllable name, such as: Evar, Boas, Rygan, Gunnar etc. Some Procyons use titles such as 'Lord' or 'Duke', which would be followed by their name.
