Ithenite (Preserve)

The Ithenites are a race of blue-skinned humanoids from the world of Ithen. Their homeworld was locked in a planet-wide ice age many millennia ago, and they were forced to flee the planet as a species in order to survive. They are all well-muscled and tall, with jet black hair and glowing red eyes. While their history has been marked by nearly continual warfare and conquest of other worlds, the Ithenites are generally not violent. They prefer to extend themselves only from a defensive posture, and viewed the idea of a pre-emptive strike against an enemy as if it were murder. Within Ithenite society, children matured very quickly, never truly having an adolescent period before becoming adults.
