Curdias

Curdias are a fictional species that first appeared in the novel "The Obsidian Star" by author Elara Vance. They are described as a reptilian humanoid race known for their highly structured and militaristic society. Physically, curdias are depicted as having tough, scaled skin, sharp claws, and keen eyesight. They are typically taller than humans and possess a formidable physique, adapted for combat and survival in harsh environments.

The curdian culture is deeply rooted in honor, discipline, and loyalty to their ruling council. Their social hierarchy is rigid, with individuals assigned roles based on merit and lineage. They possess advanced technology, particularly in the fields of weaponry and spacecraft design, which they utilize to maintain control over their territories and project their influence across the galaxy. While often portrayed as antagonists due to their aggressive expansionist policies, some narratives also explore internal conflicts and dissenting factions within curdian society, suggesting a more complex and nuanced existence than their outward appearances might imply. Their motivations are frequently driven by a belief in their own superiority and a desire to impose their order on other species.
