Catalian

Catalians are a race of four-armed humanoid creatures with accelerated motor functions. They are naturally intelligent creatures, and they prefer a reclusive life on their home planet, Ramas. The Catalians are known for being the minds behind many intergalactic projects, such as Titanus.

Biology
Catalians have four limbs, each with a hand that has six fingers. Their motor functions, such as arm and finger movement, are very accelerated, allowing speed that cannot be replicated by others without cybernetic enhancements. Their relatively closely packed population on Ramas allowed them to remain unified and isolated, promoting quick mental development and innovation.

History
Catalians developed close to each other, so the entire history of the species can be tracked down to a single piece of land. The creatures developed mentally very quickly, and were already building advanced tools within the first century of their evolution. They were one of the first species to begin exploring Space, using some of the first recorded space ships to travel.

At some point, a group of the brightest in their species met on a small planet nearby a supermassive black hole, and instantly their minds began to think of a way to use it. The project, nicknamed Titanus, went through several decades of thinking before they eventually finalized it, and began to search for workers. They found the Zanef, who they used as their political workers, and the Brathax, who they used as labor. After several decades, Titanus was complete, the greatest achievement of the Catalian species.

Culture
Due to their close development, the Catalians are a unified species. There are little cultural deviations, and they generally focused on advancement and innovation rather than religion. They are known to be curious creatures, trying to improve whenever they can, to the point of it being an obsession. The Catalians have a council that they treat as their leaders, however the members are interchangeable through a simple voting process.
