Mor'Cris

The Mor'Cris are an avian descendant species who occupy the third planet in the Eta Volantis system. Their society is on the cusp of industrial revolution, with pockets of less technologically advanced culture further from the city centers. Their planet has one moon and four continents.

Government

Eta Volantis III is divided into a number of countries, each with their own governmental structures, ranging from monarchies to elected representation. Though small skirmishes and disagreements over territory and resources occur from time to time, the planet has mostly enjoyed a peaceful existence in the last few generations.

$_CMcountry

$_CMcountry is a constitutional monarchy, and one of the two largest powers on Eta Volantis III. Their territory extends over most of the largest continent on the planet, and they are often the authority that steps in to enforce peace among the other countries. Their influence extends beyond their peacekeeping as well: the monarchy is well known for their support of the fine arts and scientific research, resulting in both thriving and influencing the other larger countries on the planet.

$_HDScountry

$_HDScountry is a hybrid democracy with strong socialist leanings, and the second of the two largest powers on Eta Volantis III. Most government funded research is focused upon technology and knowledge that will allow for better sharing of resources and care of its people.

Biology

As avian descended humanoids, they still retain a number of bird traits such a feathers, beaks, and claws. Their wings have started to evolve into hands, and as such while having fingers and hands at the end still have a strong resemblance to the wings of their ancestors. While they have lost the ability to fly, some of the less technologically advanced cultures have maintained at least the knowledge and ability to glide though the air from impressive heights.
