Human of Sako

The Humans of Sako are a species of Human-like animals native to the planet Sako.

Biology
The Humans of Sako are large-eyed, their muscles strung for speed and agility rather than massive strength. Their bodies gleam a light bronze color in the sun, and Kieran noticed that the men are beardless and smooth-skinned. Both men and women have long hair, ranging in color from black to tawny, and very clean and glistening. They are a beautiful people, as deer are a beautiful people, graceful, innocent, and wild.

Culture and society
Primitive and feral, unlike their terrestrial counterparts, these Humans are regarded as beasts by the dominant Sakae. They are migrant animals, constantly on the move while foraging for fruit, and act similarly to orangutans.

History
On Sako, as the Sakae developed they competed for land and food with the Humans. Eventually the Sakae prevailed, hunting down most of the animals and driving them from their territory.

The existence of the Humans was revealed to the Humanity Party on Earth who believed aliens should not rule over any Human race in the galaxy.
