Shorks are a primitive civilization that originates from an oceanic planet. They live in small clans and have ancient and complicated martial traditions. Shorks respect soldier’s honor and victory.
The Seit have seen a great potential in them and now use Shorks as a spearhead of their strike units. Despite their size Shokrs are agile and skillful, thus being extremely dangerous opponents. The Seit did not waste time and resources to advance the Shorks, for Seits’ own security: the more primitive the race, the easier it is to control it.
Instead the Seit allow them to settle on subordinate planets in environments that are convenient for them, and recruit the best Shork fighters for their strike units. For this purpose major competitions are held, where, as Shorks believe, the gods will determine the best warriors to fight in their wars in heavens. These chosen ones receive additional training, fine armor and weaponry.
Remaining a primitive society, Shorks are often worship totems according to tribal traditions and decorate their wargear with ornaments, similar to the tattoos on their bodies.
Shorks are omnivorous amphibians with well-developed muscular system and excellent reflexes. They live mainly on islands or along shorelines, and continue to grow throughout their lives as fish, from which they originate.
