Trondytes

Trondytes are an alien species and a member of the Alliance. Their homeworld is Aurima in the Yagra system. They joined the Alliance in 2133, and have remained a steadfast member ever since. Trondytes are humanoid with orange skin, four eyes and a head styled like a Corinthian helmet. The type of government on Aurima is a constitutional monarchy, where the king or queen is elected into office and serve for six years. A famous Trondyte is D'nok Bri, who oversaw the Aberloth Campaign during the Alliance-Somakian War. The average life expectancy of a Trondyte is between two-hundred and two-hundred and fifty years. The Trondytes were the first known species in the galaxy to discover interstellar travel after the disappearance of the Ancients, about two-thousand years ago. Using this drive, they spread and colonised many planets. The first alien species the Trondytes encountered were the Gylarians, twenty-six years after their discovery of the SL drive. The Trondytes were a peaceful and helpful species, and they gave the SL drive technology to the Gylarians. They did this several times with many other species as well, and eventually there were hundreds of FTL-capable species. Humanity was given the SL drive technology by the Gylarians and the Tarvarkians in 2125, after helping them repel an invasion by the Somakian Empire.
