Vargans

Vargans are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bipedal, reptilian physiology, possessing tough, scaly hides that range in color from deep emerald to earthy brown. Vargans stand approximately two meters tall and have long, prehensile tails used for balance and manipulation. Their heads are elongated, featuring large, multifaceted eyes that grant them exceptional low-light vision, and rows of sharp teeth adapted for a carnivorous diet.

The Vargan society is structured around a complex clan system, with each clan specializing in a particular trade or skill, such as mining, agriculture, or defense. They are known for their advanced metallurgy and their intricate, subterranean cities carved into the rocky terrain of Xylos. Communication among Vargans involves a combination of guttural vocalizations and subtle shifts in their tail posture.

Historically, Vargans have been a reclusive species, largely uninterested in interstellar affairs. However, recent resource shortages on Xylos have prompted them to cautiously explore diplomatic and trade relations with other galactic civilizations. Their technological prowess, particularly in energy generation and terraforming, makes them a potentially valuable ally or competitor in the wider galactic community. Despite their formidable appearance, Vargans generally value logic and efficiency over aggression, though they are fiercely protective of their territory and their kin.
