Ryz'era

The Ryz'era were a Felinoid species indigenous to the planet Ryzmorr. The females of the species were dominant within their society, while the males played a very insignificant role within the Ryz'era culture.

Appearance and Biology
Lithe, strong, and fast were the three words that best describe this race of felines. The Ryz'era were a race of large blue/black cat like creatures, indigenous to the planet Ryzmorr of the Antares star system. Like all felinoid species, the Ryz'era were extremely fast and nimble, able to acheive speeds of up to 80KPH for short periods of time.

Society and Culture
The Ryz'era culture stressed disipline and knowledge. The young females were sent to school where they are taught Dah'mock Hot'ib ("The Code Of Living"). This code stressed individualism, freedom, and the work ethic. "Any good feline is a working feline." Female Ryz'era were taught the value of their own self and that of the clan.

A powerfull dicotomoy exsisted between the sexes of this race. While the females were revered, the male Ryz'era were kept as ignorant slaves, exsisting to perpetuate the race and perform menial labor. The Ryz'era government was clan-like. The matriachy was set up so that the oldest females rule the society. The cats were strong and territorial, each clan controlling a section of land headed by the Rah'uum Alee ("den mother").
