Atuuk

Atuuks are very friendly, but rarely develop sufficient technology to be space-faring. However with their high reproductive rate, Atuuk communities can grow quickly requiring them to find new planets quickly.

They have preserved a detailed oral history reaching back hundreds of generations. Over time they have also developed a complex social order. Each individual must accept their preordained status within the community, or face ostracism.

Their unwillingness to tolerate any innovative thinking has caused their culture and technology to stagnate at a fairly primitive level.

Above all else Atuuks enjoy hunting in the jungles of their homeworlds. Their preferred prey is the striped Caguar, a huge sabre-cat armed with razor-sharp claws. Hunting this enormous beast is extremely dangerous. Atuuks usually hunt Caguars in teams of 30-40, armed only with simple stone-tipped spears.

Atuuks live in crude tree-huts on Continental or Marshy Swamp planets.
