The Hemos

Main Information
Humans with extordanarily pointy ears/ noses, cant grow hair. Most advanced civ currenty.

A brief history
The Hemos were a peaceful species. Their people were united against the harsh conditions of their homeplanet. Due to this, they developed technology quickly. They were the first species to develop spaceflight, and as such were the leading power in the galaxy. But, when another species they discovered, the humans, declared war on them, they realised what a weak race they really were. They learned of warfare, weaponry and murder, all in one event. This made the Hemos focus on developing military power, to ensure no other species destroyed themselves when they reached the level to contact the hemos. When enough species were spacefaring, they developed the Galactic council. Now, the Hemos have the most control of the galaxy, and often develop the newest technologies first.

The Hemos King
The Hemos have, and always have had, a king or queen. This title has been inherited through generations of the royal family, but anyone can become part of the royal family by marrying the prince / princess. The heir to the throne is decided in a test of intelligence. When a new heir needs to be elected, the current children of the king/queen need to make a massive three day test, varying each election by decision of  the current ruler. Young princes / princesses train from a young age to become the next ruler, and those who do not get the title often get other high positions in the kingdom.

The Hemos Grand Court
The Hemos grand Court is the advisory council for the Hemos representatives in the Galactic Council. This council is made up of a large staff, who is spread throughout the galaxy as ambassadors on different planets, ships and stations. Every power that the Hemos see as significant, has an ambassador to inform the Grand Court. The court itself is housed in a large tower on Alpha I, where all rapports of the ambassadors come in, which are then processed and worked through and set into a daily rapport for the royal family.
