Draguul

An amphibious species that evolved on a large, swampy planet, the Draguul boast traits reminiscent of both mammals and reptiles. Draguul society is rigid but somewhat benevolent. At the top is a very tight group of "Clan Masters" who exercise absolute rule over a caste of warriors who are grouped by clan. The warrior caste in turn has absolute rule over the even larger "low Draguul" caste made up of everyone else.

With a strength born of their homeworld's heavy gravity, Draguul warriors are among the galaxy's deadliest combatants, and their military organization and rapid reproduction make for an empire that is as much a war machine as a civilization. Their only weaknesses are that their species has changed little in the course of their evolution (making it harder for the Draguul to adapt to new environments) and their feudal government structure.

While the Draguul can come across as nothing more than a brutal warrior race, they are also inquisitive, honorable, reliable, and even good-natured towards aliens who they perceive as worthy allies.
