===History===
<blockquote>
The planet Origaiz is a small rock with minimal axial tilt, which only just falls within the habitable zone of its white hot sun. One side bakes in merciless heat whilst the other freezes to the core with a rapid turnover. All life upon it has evolved the ability to survive both extreme heat and cold, drawing in energy during the day, dissipating it in the night, invariably burying deep into the planet’s crust to escape the temperature and to access aquifers. With food upon the surface at a premium, the tarratch evolved early on to transfix prey with their shimmering collar displays, forcing thoughts and memories to the surface of their simple minds so that the whereabouts of their nest could be accessed. The hostile and fast-changing conditions of their home meant the tarratch developed a capricious, variegated and ruthless civilization revolving around internecine warfare and slave-taking; with the best resources moving constantly with the band of temperate weather between day and night the idea of lasting societies with long term goals was a complete mystery to them.
