Knyden

Knydens hale from the planet Knydia, located in the Relkan Sector. Knydia is a sovereignty of the Antrixian Commonwealth, with its own government, which integrates with the Antrixian noble House, Ossian. The Commonwealth provides defense and security for Knydia and its shipping exports within the commonwealth. Females play a leading role within Knyden society, holding most political and corporate positions. Due to the submissive nature of the males, female Knydens are often found in the working class, while the males stay at home to raise families. Female Knydens are the only ones allowed to serve in the Knyden militia, proving themselves as warriors equal to males of other species. Knydens were one of the first non-Antrixian to be allowed to train as Jinsai within the Jinsai Order, although there are only a handful of these. Knydens are built slightly less physically than most humans and are elfin in appearance. Some scholars suggest that the Knydens may have similar ancestry as the Tinar’ri from the planet, Nextro'daala.
