Dvar

The Dvar are a thrifty race of survivalists. The Dvar work hard to mine planets for all they're worth to gain as many resources as possible for their consortium's survival and welfare.

Origin

The Dvar originate from the mining consortiums sent out to strip worlds of their natural resources. Dvar pride themselves as being the hardiest of survivors, after the collapse the Dvar' were marooned on a barely habitable planet with an elliptical orbit, causing it to be scorched during short blazing summers and then frozen by eternal winters. To make matters worse, their world passes trough an asteroid belt, causing a yearly bombardment of giant rocks. This environment has caused the Dvars to evolve into a bunker dwelling species who see nature as something that needs to be distrusted and looted as soon as a window of opportunity arises.

“I heard the rhythmic clink-clank of mining machines and dashed down the tunnel following the sound. I don’t generally hang with Dvars, mostly because they really like mining, and I find it difficult to enjoy dirt. But with bugs sniffling my trail, I chose new company. Fortunately, the Dvar had Trenchers. At my warning, they dug defensive trenches. With their shields up, the bugs were repelled by the force of their shield bash. Their spike guns punched holes in the natural armor of the enemy, forcing the creatures to retreat or die.”— Mah Reg’Nib, Observer Officiate, “RV-2246X: Dvar Chronicles”

Do not attempt to overwhelm its defensive capabilities using a grunt-rush technique either.
