Telvanian

=History=

The Telvanians are a carnivourus sentient wolf like species that are native to the planet Telvan. The Telvanoians evolved out of highly intelligent pack creatures that hunted large herbivores known to the Telvanians as Telvantii. Early in their evolution an astroid struck the moon of Telvan and destroyed the moon. The result were radioactive meterorites that struck the planet. As a result the Telvantii the Telvanians hunted became mutated monsters determined upon killing off the Telvanians. The Telvanians (being a sentient species) united to destroy this new threat. After the last Telvantii was killed the Telvanians held a huge celebration. Years of peace followed and the Telvanian culture florished.

Discovery
In 47 ABY the Galactic Alliance discovered the Telvanians when a trading ship crashed on Telvan. The surviving crew sent a distress signal to the Alliance. After the transmission was sent the Telvanians stumbled upon the survivors and invited them back to their villiage. The Telvanians , being a primitive species, marveled at the technology the traders carried. When the Alliance rescue party arrived they granted the Telvanians full protection by law and offered them a position in the Alliance. The Telvanians accepted eagerly setting up a permanent government on their homeworld.

=Lost=

Three years after their discovery the Telvanians suddenly cut off contact with the Alliance. All scout ships that went to investigate were never heard from again. Just before this however, a mysterious race known as the Zarks appeared and began setting up contact with the Alliance. The Zarks were accused of causing the loss of contact and they cut off contact with the Zarks. The Zarks have now been seen attempting to make alliance's with enemies of the Alliance proving this theory correct. ]]
