The Sisterhood of Morrgna is a humanoid clade living on the border of The Zuran Expanse and the territory of the Alliance. The dark ages after the fall of The Radiant Polity fashioned their society into a machine for war and made its members famous throughout known space.

Physical CharacteristicsAs the name would imply, the entire Sisterhood is female (though excessive male hormones have led to some being androgenized). They are genetically derived from baseline humanity; all Sisters are cloned from less than a hundred genotypes, but they are further modified for certain caste functions. Most appear as roughly baseline humans, but their are hypertrophic muscled shock-troops, vacuum-adapted space-sisters, and ambigenitaled comfort sisters.

The most heavily modified Sisters are perhaps the queens (or "mothers"): macrocephalic beings, whose vast brains allow them to monitor every aspect of hive function.

Psychological Characteristics: The Sisterhood is unusually eusocial for a human-derived culture; while they are individuals they are more hive-like in group action than baseline.

Society: Only one Morrgna hive exists currently, a moon-sized artificial habitat (called Morrgna) with a single queen, but in previous times the Sisterhood was more expansionistic and sent out war wombs to generate hives on numerous worlds. Most of these were destroyed in conflict with other cultures; some fell to inter-clade strife.

Names: Sisters have a single name denoting their base genotype and a title for their function or some notable deed or trait.

Examples: Sister Zora Wayfinder, Battle-Sister Ausra Massive, Sister Usha Swift, Mother Roxana Strategos, Sister Sahar Tech. 

Backgrounds: No primitive or criminal backgrounds under most circumstances.

Classes: Psychics are nonexistent.

Attributes: Standard, though based on caste, one Sister’s statistics may vary wildly from another. 


Special

Caste: The Sisterhood is divided in castes and genetically and physiologically modified for those functions. A few examples include shock troops with hypertrophic muscle and possibly implanted weaponry, vacuum-adapted ship crew, and high intelligence strategic thinkers. Most player character suitable castes will be close to baseline.
