Tabaxi

Tabaxi are a resilient race of feline humanoids from the jungle planet Pulkra. The tabaxi were nomadic tribes that followed the ever-changing rivers of their jungle homeworld. At First Contact, the Tabaxi were very primitive compared to the other known systems.

History
Pulkra's forests are divided amongst the different tribes of the tabaxi. The tribes send representatives, called Chieftains, to meet at the capitol city of Umatlan for a worldwide government called the Conclave. Historically the Conclave is slow to make any kind of decision, mostly due to infighting amongst the wishes of the Chieftains. Much of the economic and political decisions are based on ‘eye for an eye’ transactions.

Tabaxi were the least advanced of the former-IPA races and tend to stay with the familiar. They favor being on-world and tend to use more out-dated and traditional armor and weaponry. For this reason, the tabaxi learned to be quick and stealthy during the Jalek Expansion. During the Allied-Covenant War they established themselves as lethal mercenaries and assassins, and many of the most accomplished of them sit amongst the Conclave. Their druidic tendencies allow some bloodlines a pure, innate connection to the natural thread of magic.

Strangely, the tabaxi speak Common as their main language, although no contact with Erathis before First Contact has ever been recorded.
