Temperament: Esoomian philosophy is best summed up by Survival of the fittest. They hold loyalty to themselves first and the to their tribe as a distant second. On whole, most Esoomians are selfish, violent, and warlike. Whenever a “pacifist” (still relatively violent by human standards) Esoomian is born (one who does not wish to fight or spends to much time helping others) it is immediately killed and eaten once its nature is discovered. Most intelligent Esoomians qualify under this pacifist nature.
History and Culture: Their home world Esoom, located in the Kroutrak sector, may also be one of the hardest to survive on planets in the whole universe. The food chain is severely out of whack. There are not as many herbivores as there are omnivores and carnivores. This has lead to the majority of the high order predators becoming prey themselves. To combat this fatal situation the Esoomian ancestors developed sentience. The primitive Esoomians were able to out think their predators and achieve relative dominance in the food chain. The Esoomians built small villages, with semi-permanent dwellings if anyone was to stay the night there they had to help provide food for all. Over hundreds of years these loosely knit villages eventually became barracks and armies of Esoomians went to war over land and hunting rights. These wars were always incredibly bloody and involved hand to hand combat. The winning army would normally eat their dead enemies. Which helps explain why the Esoomian population never sky rocketed and why the planet’s other fauna were not hunted to extinction. It was during the feast at the end of a battle that scouts made first contact with the Esoomians. They were so disgusted by the ghastly sight that they immediately left placing the planet under quarantine. Once the Empire was established it came to Esooma and subjugated the species with typical imperial force. The Imperials established a base their and forced the Esoomians to work in labor camps, while exporting them in ver limited number as slaves. The planet is currently under a strict quarentine. Predictably, the Imperials have had problems with riots and rebellions.
Trade and Technology: The Esoomians themselves had never experienced and agricultural revolution, they did however make strides in weapon technology and were in a late bronze age when they were discovered. The only galactic trade from Esooma is the slave trade with the Esoomians themselves.
Esoomians in the galaxy: Esoomians will normally be found as Imperial slaves doing grueling labor. A small number have been smuggled out of by crime lords to serve as guards and hired muscle.
