Affiliation #40 

Racial Affiliation

History

The MYR are a territorial race.  Initially they viewed their home 
world as the end-all of the universe.  The MYR do not fight among 
themselves.  However, having dealt with several incursions by interloping 
extraterrestrials in the past, they have a severe distaste for outsiders. 

After managing to salvage an interstellar drive from one of the invading 
alien races, the MYR set their territorial objectives to encompass 
their entire home system of St. Gaudens.  Upon traveling to nearby 
systems they encountered their space-faring neighbors in the Trans-Canally 
Region of the galaxy.

The MYR naturally distrusted these neighbors and suffered an uneasy 
co-existence for many years.  To protect themselves, the MYR developed 
the POSITRON GUN and methods for hiding their colonies from detection.
However, over the centuries the MYR learned to trust the other Trans-Canally 
races. This resulted in the MYR joining the Trans-Canally Alliance (TCA).

Affiliation Description

The MYR are governed by a theocratic ruler who is said to speak with 
the voice of their god.  The MYR give great creedence to the spoken 
word, sometimes even over a written document.

Due to their territorial instincts the MYR are excellent explorers. 
Their ships have been designed to travel very fast and to use space 
efficiently.  Their desires to expand beyond their home system have 
long since disappeared.  They will only do so for the sake of MYR 
honor or as a committment to the TCA.  They do not tolerate outsiders 
colonizing St. Gaudens.

Physical Characteristics

The MYR stand approximately 2 meters tall and are shaped like slender 
humanoids. They are covered with an extremely short, golden brown 
fur.  Because of their arboreal ancestry they bear a resemblance to 
terran flying squirrels. Their physical appearance gives them a strangely 
erotic appeal to many humans. Their slight build is deceptive as the 
average MYR is twice as strong as the corresponding human.
