Character Summary - Ca

The Ca are a race from my "Venture" series. Below is a general background of the race.
Characteristics
The Ca are tribals, heavily bound in long years of tradition. They are often wiry individuals, and the average adult Ca is just a bit shorter than a Jincar (most Jincar range from 6'-7' fully grown whereas most Ca range from 5'8"-6'7"). Their skin is typically a deep purple, and their heads are usually longer than those of other races. Their teeth consist of only canines, and their eyes are completely red. Their legs are incredible strong, and slightly resemble the hind legs of a feline. The Ca are known for their natural strength, their home planet's gravity being about 1.5G.
Origins
The Ca are a very tradition-bound race with many unique characteristics. Originating from the small, tropical planet of Aldi, the Ca have had the longest history of dealing with foreign races. Many thousands of years ago, the Ca were responsible for the destruction of two other sentient races on their planet. It is said that the other two races were allied, and started chopping down the Ca's forests for lumber. The Ca tribes entered their enemies' villages under the cover of night, killing many without drawing any attention to themselves. When morning came, they retreated back into their jungle homes, leaving only a pile of corpses as evidence of their presence. It is said that the two races' populations were halved in under a week, and became fully extinct after one year (using Ghasha's time scale). hundreds of years after this, the Ca had their first contact with the Vard. Their ship landed in the middle of the jungle, destroying many trees in the process. When the Vard emerged, they were met with a hail of spears from the treetops. To this day, the empty husk of the old Vardic ship is used as the first major Ca city. It was many decades after that that the Vard sent a larger force, and, despite a vast number of casualties, eventually managed to overwhelm the Ca tribe leaders with their presence. The leaders subjected themselves and their people willingly to slavery under the Vard, as a show of respect for their superior military force. The Vard were not merciful. Over the next few years, thousands of Ca were shipped from their planet to Ghasha to work on the City of Gold.
Tradition
Being a militaristic race, The Ca have a very high respect for physical strength, similar to the Vard (though less inclined than the Vard towards unprovoked violence). Of the 900,000 Ca currently in existence, about 90% of them are warriors or mercenaries. They have little regard for politics and during wars, they will most often only take sides if there is something in it for them, though once they do take sides they are fiercely loyal. The Ca still living on Aldi do so in tribes. Control of land and borders is constantly changing through physical or diplomatic means, making an accurate world map of each tribe's territory virtually impossible to create. The central hub for trade and commerce is in the refurbished husk of the old Vardic ship that landed so many years ago. Though it is considered their "Capital City", few Ca actually live in this ship, aside from the rare merchant or galactic politician. The Ca, though they have access to them,. seldom use modern technology for combat. All forms of guns are considered "weapons of the weak", and thus, any Ca fighter that wants his or her reputation to remain intact chooses to fight with a different weapon. The go-to weapon among the Ca military is the spear. Though this may sound like a foolish choice against enemies wearing highly advanced suits of armour, the Ca have advanced the craft of their spears to a more modern level. The tips are made with a rare element  currently known only to be found on the Avaari homeworld of Atvar, known as Atvarium. It is a light green, clear, ethereal substance that most commonly takes the form of a gas. In exchange for being taught by the Avaari how to craft weaponry from Atvarium, the Ca tribes send some of their best warriors to Atvar to bolster the peaceful Avaari race's defenses.
