The Carinae Alliance is a federation of sentient species spanning several systems within the Carina Nebula, currently comprised of the Solvians, Droleq, and Vakari.
Solvians
The Solvians are an amphibious race of herbivores from the marsh planet of Ardahl. They were the first of the Carinae species to achieve interstellar flight, and possess highly advanced starships capable of traveling up to one light year per hour. Solvians are shorter and frailer than humans, averaging about 5'3 and 100 lbs. Their hands possess only three digits, leading them to develop several types of robotic 'limbs' that are typically built into their suits. Solvians are among the few sentient species that hatch from eggs, and their males and females look virtually identical.
Solvian society is heavily focused on education and technological advancement, with prominent scientists and engineers effectively holding more power than the elected officials that oversee them. Although they at times appear cold and unemotional to other species, Solvians maintain a strict code of ethics. They are loathe to interfere with natural ecologies or a species development, unless they're certain it will yield positive results in the long term. The majority of Solvian art takes the form of stylized devices, typically designed to create soothing or dazzling imagery while leaving the viewer confounded how they function.
The Solvians use automatons to accomplish nearly every 'mundane' task, including warfare. The relatively few live personnel that operate in combat zones are versatile commandos, utilizing advanced cloaking technology to perform recon, demolition, and assassination on high value targets. Their navy functions similarly, with small crews assisted by advanced computers piloting a vast array of warships.
Relations With Other Species
The Solvians are generally considered upstanding and considerate by the intergalactic community, though their reputation within Carinae space is a bit more complicated. Though the Droleq and Vakari are grateful to have been 'uplifted', they're not blind to the Solvian's coercion and manipulation. Despite Carinae policy and regulation technically being determined by democratic vote, only the Solvians are capable of manufacturing much of the technology that the federation relies on. So while a measure the Solvians disapprove of may pass, they can cease to provide technologies or services that would facilitate it, many of which may be essential to the economies or daily lives of every species in the federation.
Thankfully, the Solvians typically use these measures to enforce laws that preserve the freedom, safety, and dignity of all sentient species... or at least they did before the closing years of the recent war. The Solvians have purposefully fomented resentment between the Vakari and the Malakar, fearing what the species would be capable of if they were to ally. While they've been somewhat successful in keeping the pair at odds, neither are as oblivious to their machinations as they believe.
Despite their sometimes arrogant and condescending attitudes towards other species, the Solvians are generally well-meaning and charitable. They're a somewhat uncommon sight outside of Carinae space, and those encountered are typically traders, researchers, or diplomats working on behalf of the Carinae government.
Droleq
The Droleq are a mammalian species of omnivores from the arid planet of Goberna.
Malakar
The Malakar are a mammalian race of carnivores from the volcanic planet of Turkhan.
