And here we have the introduction study to the Manke, one of the titular original species in the T.A.C.'s original series Manke.Verse (In which their named was used as the first designed species for the project.)

These guys are a newer species to enter the galactic community, finding their way through their absolutely absured tenacity to develop the biggest, loudest weaponry possible.

Evolved on a planet were they were the lowest on the food chain on a planet where the basic predator rivaled a Human double decker bus, their technological emphasis on weaponry allowed them to overcome that obsticle. This lead to them conquering their own planet, all while shaping their culture around war to a very valhalla-esc warrior society where it is honorable for every member of the species to serve in the military for at least a bit of time. Even the fine mistress' of their kind serve until they find a suitable mate to then start or expand a lineage, family, or clan.

More about these guys later...
