Height: 6’3 to 6’7
Hair: Dark, slender spines that grow rapidly and have no feeling. Cylirian spines can be cut and shaped similar to typical mammalian hair. The neck bears a “mane” of extremely soft, thick fur, which sometimes extends down to a tuft between the breasts.
Skin: Cylirians possess a mix of features. Fine, soft scales cover their limbs, backs, and some of the lower belly. Scales range in color from silver, white, and grey, with some rare cases of ice blue or black. The rest of the belly, chest, and face are fleshy, and run the gamut of skin colors.
Eyes: Two eyes, in the typical humanoid location. Cylirian eyes each possess three vertical slits within the iris, rather than a single pupil, arranged side by side.
Feet & Legs: Cylirians are bipedal, with feet ending in five clawed digits built for grappling and traversing difficult terrain. Legs tend to be long and muscular.
Wings: One pair of sleek, thin wings shaped similar to those of a moth. Colors tend to be vibrant but dark, with greens, reds, and blacks most common. Cylirian muscles in the back and shoulders are extremely strong to allow for flight, and their wings are both large and durable.
Aging: Average lifespan is between fifty and sixty years, though the extremely harsh conditions on the Cylirian homeworld make this statistic somewhat weighted. Average lifespan in a modern environment has not yet been properly documented.

When the pregnancy concludes and eggs are laid, the young hatch in about two weeks. Cylirian eggs are thick and hardy, and during the species’ primal years, were often abandoned by the mother. Young grow quickly, and can find food and water in a matter of hours after birth. Still, since the species’ Uplifting, it has become progressively more common for mothers to raise their children, or to at least send them to communal “hatcheries” that have arisen on their homeworld, and which care for and educate young cylirians. Hatcheries are sponsored by a combination of the Confederate Youth Protection Association and Steele Industrial Technology, whose late C.E.O. first laid corporate claim to the cylirian homeworld.
History & Society
Cylirians hail from the highly volcanic world of Dragaera, a world noted today for its extremely high metal content and inhospitable atmosphere. While their world has an oxygen supply suitable for humanoid life, Dragaera is perpetually plagued by thick black clouds akin to the worst industrial worlds in the Confederate core, with rare sunlight and high temperatures. Between a hostile environment and sharing their world with several large carnivores, the cylirians evolved to take to their air, and build their settlements in the high mountains away from the myriad dangers of the surface.
Cylirian culture, upon First Contact, could best be described as that of a Templar society: prowess at the hunt and physical strength were both praised highly, but the species had also become extremely religious over the previous two hundred years, worshipping their sun itself as a “Fire Mother,” a giver of life rarely seen or heard. Hunting, or rather combating the mammoth reptilian predators that dominated the surface, was the species’ highest calling, with wings of warriors trained to take down creatures several times their own size.
Still, civilization did not come easily to the cylirians, and only about a third of the species’ numbers were located in the mountainous cities. Feral individuals or amazonian tribes of nomads were common, and conflict was common.
Dragaera was met with First Contact during the 13th Great Planet Rush, discovered in the close shadow of their sun by a team of Rushers commanded by Victoria Steele. Due to the high metal content of the planet, it was a natural claim for the up and coming mining magnate, who after some adventure managed to win over several queens to her cause, enough to pacify a large area of settling land, and began the Uplifting process.
Dragaera’s Upliftment is still an ongoing process, due in part to the hostile nature of the world itself and the militant belligerence of many cylirians. While not as fast as some Steele and Confederate leaders would like, the education and settlement process has not been the slowest in the galaxy, and several generations of cylirians have been raised with Confederate education and technology, and Uplifted cylirians are becoming a more and more common sight across Confederate space.
Technology
Left to their own devices, cylirians could best have been equated to the early Bronze Age of Terra, or the Age of Gods on Ausaril. Cylirians had no modern technology to speak of, and armed themselves with crude bronze or stone weapons and armor. Tools were common, concentrated on farms and in cities. Blacksmithing had become an almost holy profession by the time of First Contact, with smiths attaining a priest-like reverence from typical members of the species, likely related to the solar cult that had taken hold on three continents.
Cylirians born in Confederate-aided territory have access to modern education and are as technologically apt as any other species. Due to their flight and physical strength, many find occupation in the industrial or security industries, while their appearance has helped them quickly grow in popularity in the holovid and service industries.
