Ur-Quan Kzer-Za

An imposing Ur-Quan captain

Homeworld:	Unknown
Coordinates:	N/A
Member of:	Controls Hierarchy of Battle Thralls
Ship:	Dreadnought

The Ur-Quan Kzer-Za are one of two subraces of Ur-Quan. They are nearly identical to their Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah brethren, the main difference being that their skin is green rather than black. At least part of their body is covered by a sheath which retracts when the creature experiences intense pain or fear, along with the oozing of their talons. Their race was genetically engineered by the Dnyarri from the main line of the Ur-Quan during the height of the Dnyarri Slave Empire. The Kzer-Za were designed to be the "thinkers," the scientists, technicians, and overseers of the Empire.

The Dnyarri did not name their creation. It was not until after the slave revolt that the Kzer-Za named themselves in honor of the martyred Kzer-Za, who discovered the secret of their freedom.

The Kzer-Za follow the Path of Now and Forever. This doctrine states that they must seek out all sentient life and offer them a choice: imprisonment or enslavement. The Kzer-Za are aware that this way of life may be incorrect and so they willingly participate in the Doctrinal Conflict with the Kohr-Ah.

For several thousand years they have circled the galaxy, enslaving races into their Hierarchy or imprisoning them under slave shields. Even one battle in their long history is an extreme situation in the eyes of a younger race. The Great War that most contemporary races speak of was, to the Kzer-Za, just another of a thousand conquests.

The Ur-Quan Kzer-Za do battle in their Dreadnought starships.

-The Ur-Quan Kzer-Za are one of the two races of the [[Ur-Quan]] species. They share many physical characteristics with their [[Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah]] bretheren, except that their skin is green rather than black. Their race was genetically engineered by the [[Dynarri]] from the main-line of the Ur-Quan species during the height of their slave empire. The Kzer-Za were designed to be the "thinkers": the scientists and overseers of the Dynarri slave empire.

-The Kzer-Za follow the Path of Now and Forever. This doctrine states that they must seek out all sentient life and offer them two choices: annihilation or subserivence to Kzer-Za rule. A species is allowed to chose the way they will serve the Kzer-Za. They may serve as a combat thrall species, whereby they are allowed some autonomy of action including the right to travel through space. Alternatively, a species may chose to become a "fallow" species; these species are forced to live on their homeworld beneath an impenetrable slave shield. The punishment for stepping out of line is annihilation, either for the individuals responsible, or, if the crime is particularly aggregious, for the entire species as a whole.
+The '''Ur-Quan Kzer-Za''' are one of two subraces of [[Ur-Quan]]. They are nearly identical to their [[Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah]] brethren, the main difference being that their skin is green rather than black.

-Currently, the Kzer-Za are involved in the Doctrinal Conflict. It is an agreement between themselves and the Kohr-Ah, whereby both species move in opposite directions across the galaxy, promoting their doctrine upon the worlds they encounter. When the two races meet, they engage in a war to determine which doctrine becomes ascendent and lays claim to the ancient [[Sa-Matra]], a Precursor Battle Platform of immense power.
+The Dnyarri did not name their creation. It was not until after the slave revolt that the Kzer-Za named themselves in honor of the martyred [[Kzer-Za (Character)|Kzer-Za]], who discovered the secret of their freedom.
