Vendalah

The Vendalah

species created by: TheiaTheGondia

Summery:

The Vendalah (Homo Deistultum) are a predatory species of parahuman native to the northern side of the M81 Galaxy, their territory borders on both the Territories of the Nuna and Gondia, the Vendalah have existed for hundreds of thousands of years and prey on more primitive parahuman species using them for food.

Appearance:

-The Vendalah have bluish-pale skin

-The vendalah have red eyes

-The vendalah have tall skinny bodies with very little body fat

-The Vendalah have sharp teeth with enlarged canines

Origin:

The Vendalah are the descendants of the Laurasian Imperium which was a short-lived attempt to unify the parahuman planets after the demise of the Vaalbarans, during this time some of the Laurasians used previously-Vaalbaran technology to travel around the galaxy in an attempt to discover all the parahuman offshoots around the M81 Galaxy and unify under a new empire.

However this attempt failed and the Imperium collapsed, some groups like what would become the Jarans settled down on planets and got on with their lives, but the ancestors of the Vendalah stubbornly kept trying to achieve this failed dream of a unified humanity.

Eventually over thousands of years the ancestors of the Vendalah noticed the many groups of parahumans across the galaxy start to evolve into new species, these pre-Vendalah saw this as heresy and started to view themselves as the only true Laurasians and instituted eugenics and other “genetic cleanliness” initiatives to entire they remained pure.

Eventually the primordial talked to them and posed as a god called “Eloi” and reinforced these backward ideas, “Eloi” told these pre-vendalah that they were god’s chosen people and one day they would lead the Galaxy into a new age.

Over thousands of years however the effects of a low population and selective breeding did the opposite of what was intended and actually sped-up the evolution of the Vendalah as recessive traits became dominant in the gene-pool.

As they lived in their dark ships their skin went pale blue-ish, their eyes went red and they could no longer tolerate high levels of light, and due to frequent inbreeding they lost the ability to create several hominid proteins such as PCDH11X, PCDH11Y and many more. The only way to get these proteins was cannibalism of other parahuman species which they did and this led to even more dehumanization of other human species, as it was the only way they could live with what they were doing.

Due to these conditions and the mania which came from inbreeding they became even more devout in their beliefs and even started to force their religion onto the parahuman civilizations they subjugated, these parahumans were forced to worship the Vendalah as demi-gods and as their superiors.

They even sometimes bred with these parahuman species to create Vendalah hybrids who would be the ruling class while the Vendalah weren’t around, these hybrids often had less severe versions of the Vendalah condition and only required to drink the blood of hominids on occasion to get the needed proteins needed for their body to function.

A few hundred thousand years ago the Vendalah got into a war with the Gondia as they expanded into Vendalah territory.

Feral Vendalah

If the Vendalah fail to receive human protiens then the vendalah's brain and body will start to degrade and they will go feral, feral Vendalah often appear to be rotting or degrading and they have the simple desire to pursue any prey they come across, Their body will become more and more decayed the longer they go without eating hominid flesh until they die but since the Vendalah are cold blooded this can take months to even a year, during this time the Vendalah will experience brain degradation similar to mad cow disease or chronic wasting, this is due to the fact that the Vendalah need human proteins for Their bodies to be able to construct new cells or even maintain current cells, this brain degradation causes a degradation of the vendalah's mental abilities until they are a shambling aggressive mess with the simple desire to eat.

Vendalah Technology:

The world cube:

the main vendalah ships are huge 1500x1500x1500 mile golden cubes which house entire ecosystems and house around 100,000 Vendalah and 1 billion factory farmed humans (each human on these ships is fitted with a neural clamp device which can override their bodies motor function should they refuse to enter the slaughterhouse).

They are armed with 80 positron beams, and 60 gravitational distortion weapons and are protected by a nearly impenetrable photonic-matter shield.

They have 5 decks each with a different artificial environment. The bottom deck is called the underworld cage and it's where they factory farm Their human livestock.

Vendalah ships use a similar FTL system to the Gondia and are also limited to speeds of around 3 light years per day

Expansion modules:

The Vendalah technology is powered by devices called expansion modules that contain mini universes composed of 3d space and potential energy folded in on itself within the module and the module harvests the potential energy of the fabric of these universes, these modules have enough potential energy to last for thousands of years of normal use but eventually the universe inside reaches a state of maximum entropy and then no more power can be extracted.

Expansion bombs

Expansion bombs are devices created by the Vendalah that use an expansion module to create dark energy which can be used to rapidly increase the expansion of the universe within a set region ripping all the matter apart within that region and creating a distorted region of space that is bigger inside than around it, these devices can be used to destroy entire solar systems and work on the same principles as the Vendalah FTL drives.

"Angel Ships"

angel ships are weapon ships with a sphere in the centre surrounded by 2 spinning rings, when the rings align in a certain way a powerful beam is produced which is as powerful as a coronal mass ejection from a star. these ships are usually piloted by one and can travel around 3 light years per-day at maximum warp.

Vendalah General facts:

-the Vendalah are the most advanced species in the M81 galaxy and their weapons are so destructive that their gravity weapons alone could disintegrate a star by cancelling out its mass and having the universe expand with nothing to hold the star together or they could collapse the star into a black hole by increasing its mass, and their positron beams can destroy a planet from a distance, they could theoretically destroy the earth from just outside the solar system

-having the ability to manipulate gravity the Vendalah ships are able to fly in and out of black holes completely unharmed

-although their gravity manipulation weapons are powerful they cannot target a ship in warp as such a ship in EM-warp passing by a vendalah ship cannot be harmed by the gravity manipulation weapons

-the Vendalah themselves are very light sensitive and can be killed by too much exposure to UV-rays as they cannot create melanin in their bodies to protect them

-The Vendalah have very low metabolisms and only require to eat once a month and they can live for several hundred years the oldest vendalah living for 1000 years, additionally they are cold blooded and cannot maintain a stable body temperature alone and must stay in an environment suitable for them much like a reptile

-The Vendalah often use environmental control suits when leaving their ship, this is a full body mech suit that controls their body temperature and shields them from harmful UV rays and the hostile elements, additionally these suits grant superhuman abilities and are armed with particle beam guns

-the average IQ for a Vendalah is 175

-the Vendalah have very little body fat and often appear to be very skinny and some of their bones are often visible under their skin

-the Vendalah also keep desexed humans as pets and make them sing for the Vendalah’s amusement, the songs usually consist of Vendalah religious beliefsbeliefs

-The Vendalah technology is a direct continuation of Laurasians technology, and the Laurasians got that technology from the Ancient Vaalbarans which have been developing their science since the Eocene, so the Vendalah have the most advanced technology of any species in the M81 Galaxy although the Nuna are quickly catching up

-on troublesome planets the Vendalah will occasionally install a ruling class of people who have a mix of Vendalah and the native populations ancestry, these halflings serve the Vendalah and are taught that they are superior to the rest of the population of their home planet, they often have overly pale skin, a sickly appearance and they require parahuman/human blood to stay alive which they must drink on a regular basis

-the Vendalah have psionic abilities such as limited telepathy which they use to both instil fear into their victims/subjects and read the minds of their prey, they are also able to cause hallucinations in other beings which they use to great effect in battle and interrogation, they were given these powers by "Eloi"
