Eyung

Eyungs are an extinct species of imperialist humanoids experimented on by Celestials, native to a Jupiter-sized planet in the Andromeda Galaxy. Eyung is the name of their planet, the baseline branch of Eyungs, and their Eternal branch. The last of the Eyungs was Grom, the Eyung Over-mind.

Biology
Eyungs were externally identical to Humans, although Eyung Eternals stood at 3.5 meters tall, weighing 340.19 kilograms, and were naturally stronger, faster, and more durable than Humans. It is unknown if Eyung Latents or Deviants were any different externally or internally. Eyung Eternals lived for incredibly long periods of time, although they do visibly age, implying that their lifespans were finite.

Culture and society
Eyungs were an imperialist, xenophobic warrior race, with the Eyung Latents, Deviants, and baselines being enslaved and exterminated by the Eyung Eternals, who were described as inherently savage despite their many advancements. Eyungs were ruled by a monarchy that set out to conquer other worlds, sanctioning warfare as a way to keep their own population numbers in check. Races from conquered worlds were enslaved, with slaves and creatures from captured planets used as enemies for Eyung warriors in gladiatorial games, as the population of Eyung grew bored of constant victory. The Eyung gladiatorial games lasted until a worthy planet to conquer was found, and Eyung gladiators competed to be declared the champion of champions. Within the arena, Eyung gladiators wear light armor and salute officials presiding over the games with a Roman salute-like gesture. It appears that slaves sent to fight in the arena could win their freedom, but it is unknown if any were successful in besting an Eyung warrior. If Eyungs are unable to conquer a planet, they will simply destroy it, but Eyungs are willing to put millennia of fighting into attempts of conquering a given planet. After millennia of easy conquest, Eyungs became overconfident, ironically leaving themselves vulnerable to counterattacks from sufficiently advanced powers. Eyung clothing often consisted of robes, with the Eyung monarch wearing yellow robes with armored shoulder pads and a yellow round helmet. Eyung soldiers wear armored exosuits, normally with green torsos and bronze helmets and limbs.
