Description:  Gorene average about 1.8 meters tall and weigh in around 100-120 kg.  They are humanoid.  Their skin ranges from pale to dark green, and they have no hair anywhere on their bodies.  Their most notable facial features are their four ovoid eyes, arranged in a semi-circle along their brow.  Their eyes range in color from blue to purple.  Other than that, they have a small nose below their eyes, and an even smaller mouth below that.  Their hands consist of two long triple jointed fingers and an short opposible thumb.  Their bodies are fairly muscular, and appear similar to humans' save for their green skin and different muscle patterns.  Before the gorene-kybus war, the gorene dressed in fine garmets and military attire.  Now however, they dress in whatever their kybus masters will give them.

History:  The gorene evolved on a beautiful Earth-like world, Gele.  By the time they were in PL2, the gorene had formed huge nations (mostly through military and diplomatic conquest).  These nations remained at peace for several hundred years, with technology developing slowly but surely, until war broke out, and the world was plunged into a dark age, where much knowledge was lost.

Finally, the various nations that were still left called a truce, as they all were weary of fighting, and they saw that their wars had destroyed a lot of the countryside.  Only through careful negotiations was a second major war averted, but in this time, science advanced by leaps and bounds, as the various nations were all competing with one another for a technological edge.  Soon after space travel was developed by the Pymian Sect (the largest nation) the other nations fell into line as the Sect placed weapons orbitals in orbit around Gele.  Soon, the Pymian sect changed its name to the Gelian Enclave.

FTL travel was developed, and extensive exploration of the galaxy began.  The gorene set up nearly a hundred colonies around their homeworld.  They then found the kybus.  They saw the kybus as a race of primitive savages, and began studying them.  When they found the kybus didn't need to breathe, the Gelian Enclave command decided to "reposition" many of the kybus on worlds hostile to the gorene, thereby removing the costs of expensive atmospheric renewers and certain environmental domes.  The kybus didn't go willingly, so the gorene just took them against their will and made them into slaves.  The gorene saw them as nothing but primitives, and treated them as such.

Two hundred years later, the Gelian Enclave was faced with rebellion.  The kybus were smarter than the gorene gave them credit for, and began using their own technology against them.  The gorene at first held their ground, but the kybus went to any lengths to ensure victory.  They killed any gorene they got their hands on, went on suicide missions, and commited senseless acts of destruction to drive the gorene away.  With the seizure of several heavy warships by kybus troops, the gorene-kybus war officially began.  It lasted for nearly 150 years, but finally the gorene were defeated, and their homeworld was bombed by the kybus.  The remaining gorene were made into slaves, to be the play things of the kybus.

Today, the once proud gorene race is nothing more than a group of slaves, used by the kybus for their own amusement.

Culture and Psychology:  The current gorene culture is none-existent.  They have no rights in kybus society.  Their lives are made into living nightmares.  As for psychology, two overwhelming thoughts are in their minds:  freedom and revenge.  As one gorene rebel leader put it, "The kybus had better hope that we never come to power again, for we will not enslave them.  Instead, we will wipe every single one of them from the face of the galaxy."  Before the war, the gorene were a friendly, but fairly stuck up race, who had a rich culture.

Gorene are very versatile and can be anything.  Most of them are free agent slaves.  They can be combat specs, and there are a few rebellious gorene like this.  There are also a few diplomats who serve as nothing more than entertainers of the kybus.  Tech ops are very rare and are watched closely by the kybus.  Gorene can be mindwalkers but because of the kybus' lack of mindwalking powers, the kybus kill any gorene who possesses such skills.
