Spartoi

The Spartoi are a race of humanoids that are native to the planet Spartax, in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Biology
The Spartoan race appear externally identical to Humans, with only subtle differences to tell them apart from one another. As a whole the Spartoi race can live over a thousand years, as individuals who reach a hundred are still considered young adults. They have superhuman strength, and also share a common ancestry with the Shi'ar.

Culture and society
Though not technically allies the Spartoi and the Shi'ar have a mutual understanding of one another and don't consider each other as enemies. The Spartoi Empire spans over the outlying systems of the Large Magellanic Cloud, with the emperor and a council of ministers ruling them all. Council ministers can prevent an heir to the throne they deem unfit to rule from taking the throne for a time, and future emperors are trained as servants, miners, poets, soldiers, and pilots across several planets of the Spartoi Empire. In addition, direct orders from the emperor can banish nobles from Spartoi space, and during the end of Emperor Eson's reign, the council ministers effectively ran the empire, making Eson more of a figurehead.

Technology
Spartoi technology is highly advanced, including vessels capable of casual interstellar travel and teleporation technology. They can also create life-like androids, capable of either being servants or spies, able to carry recording devices within themselves. While these androids appear intelligent and able to perform tasks just as well as an organic, they are non-sapient. Spartoi technology is also able to keep elderly Spartoi alive through devices that appear to be crystal boxes, keeping the body suspended within, but it is ultimately unknown if these are truly life support/stasis devices, or elaborate holographic projectors.
