Tnvaru

The Tnvaru are a near-civilized United Council species. Their latest interstellar colony, the first permitted by the council in over two centuries, was destroyed by a Precursor war machine. They resemble short, four-armed koalas.

Description
They are four-armed, with a difference between catching and gripping hands. Catching hands are on the upper arms have thicker skin on the inside and they are stronger grip/lower endurance muscles. The upper arms are long enough to raise over their heads and have nearly eight inches of reach, where the gripping hands are mid-strength/high endurance muscles with arms that only reach the mouth. They have two stomachs.

Their fur is considered soft and warm by humans. Their patterning is largely smeared spots or irregular splotches. Colors are different shades of brown, dark red, with fur turning white and gray as a Tnvaru grows older. Their eyes are fairly large, suggesting nocturnal origins and they have excellent night vision.

A detailed description of the Tnvaru can be found here.

Most Tnvaru are easily shocked by new or startling experiences, showing signs of emotional distress and often hiding, this distress can be eased by strong embraces.

They are affected by alcohol much like a human with excellent alcohol tolerance due to their preferred method of 'steeping' vegetation to allow it to ferment.

A recently favored dish by Sangbre is Korean kimchi, which Sangre intends on purchasing or otherwise discovering the secret of creating it.

Culture
Very little is known about Tnvaru culture, as it was likely erased by the United Council of Systems. Nakteti, former captain of the Boom or Bust has been trying to restart it by mythologizing her own meeting with Daxin Freeborn.

History
Very little is known about the Tnvaru as a whole. Their homeworld's history was gradually erased by the United Council of Systems over thousands of years of servitude. They have no monuments, no myths, and no recorded history before their occupation by the UCS. It is likely their culture was also obliterated. The Tnvaru were under United Council control for at least 15,000 years.

Their latest offworld colony was noticed by a Goliath, and destroyed in a couple hours. The loss of the colony is often seen as the first battle of the Sixth Precursor War.

Following the purchase of a star system by Nakteti and the demand from the Unified Council of Species that all Tnvaru leave UCS space, tens of thousands of Tnvaru relocated, naming the system Tnvaru Redux, another ten thousand Tnvaru asked the Akltak to be allowed to stay in their new system, the Akltak have welcomed them finding it "nice".

During the sixth precursor war, as Max-a-Millions, under contract with Sangbre, was recovering flora and fauna samples and personal belongings, Tnvaru Prime was completely destroyed by PAWMs. Max and his Junker fleet, breaking contract, rescued as many beings as they could pack into their ships. The results of the destruction were witnessed by Dreams of Something more and her diplomatic team a month later.

Home System
The Tnvaru system has a yellow dwarf star of a fairly young age. One planet existed in the Unified Council Green Zone, and that is Tnvaru Prime. The system had two gas giants and two other planets. Tnvaru Prime had a single continent and calm weather due to a low axial tilt. The main continent was largely covered in forest until the Lanaktallan arrived. It was at that point the majority of the forests were cut away to make room for Lanaktallan industries. This has resulted in "overpopulation" of Tnvaru in their natural habitat, ignoring that the Lanaktallan were occupying 64% of the land mass.

With the destruction of Tnvaru Prime, Tnvaru Redux is now considered to be the homeworld of the surviving Tnvaru.
