The Borneck
« on: December 22, 2009, 11:10:26 AM »
INFO: Bornecks were Near-Humans who inhabited Vellity. Their skin tones varied from pale yellow to orange-brown. They were patient, sensible pacifists, and farmers who enjoyed hard work and holidays. They lived to an average of one hundred twenty standard years. Danetta Pitta hid the fact that he had a Borneck ancestor.

Many Bornecks migrated to the agriworld of Draenell's Point.


RACE: Borneck
HEIGHT: 1.8 to 2 Meters Tall
SKIN: Rich brown to orange to yellow
DISTINCTION: None apart from skin color and height
LANGUAGE: Velity

HOMEWORLD:
Vellity was a planet located within the Vellity system of the Mid Rim.



BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE:
The Borneck are near-humans native to the temperate world of Vellity. They average 1.9 meters in height and live an average of 120 standard years. Their skin ranges in hue from pale yellow to a rich orange-brown, with dark yellow most common.

A peaceful people, the Borneck are known for their patience and common sense. They posses a vigorous work ethic, and believe that hard work is rewarded with success, health, and happiness. They find heavy physical labor emotionally satisfying.

CULTURE AND HISTORY:
Borneck believe that celebration is necessary for the spirit, and there always seems to be some kind of community event going on. The planet is very close-knit, and cities, even those which are bitter rivals, think nothing of sending whatever they can spare to one another in times of need. The world has a stong family orientation. Most young adults are expected to attend a local university, get a good job, and get to the important business of providing grandchildren.

Vellity is primarily an agricultural world, and the Borneck excel at the art of farming. They have also developed a thriving space-export business, and Borneck traders can be found throughout the region. City residents are often educators, engineers, factory workers, and businessmen. Wages are low, taxes are high, but people can make a decent living on this world, far from the terrors of harsh Imperial repression.

Borneck settlers have been emigrating from Vellity to other worlds in the sector for over half a century, and the hard workers are welcomed on worlds where physical labor is in demand. Their naturally powerful bodies help them perform heavy work, and many have found jobs in the cities in warehouses and the construction industry. They are skilled at piloting vehicles as well, and quite a few have worked their way up to positions on cargo shuttles and tramp freighters. Despite their preferences for physical labor, most Borneck despise the dark, dirty work of mining.

Yet another race that has a lot of cool potential but have never been able to shine because they've always been restricted to the game.   At least they've been mentioned in other sources...  Maybe they will appear the EU somewhere someday, I'd like to see that.
