Snodateran

Description
Snodaterans are the inhabitants of planet Snodatera. They thrive in arctic conditions. Generally docile in nature they are intelligent beings and have also been met with tragedy in their short existence. They are endangered as a species and have agreed to participate in the galactic settlement program in a bid to safeguard their future.

The Colonial Disaster
The Snodateran's successfully managed to colonise off world long before the humans could have, however this was doomed from the start. Lack of thorough research, misfortune and enthusiasm to make this work, they rushed the construction of the colony unaware of the effect of Snodatera's gravity on their nearby moon. The moon was Threlkk, Slightly misshaped by the gravity of Snodatera. The Colony was ripped apart only months after completion with a full capacity of inhabitants. Several survived, and a planet wide agreement was made following. No expeditions to outer space.

The Intergalactic Settlement Colony
Numbers are thin enough on Snodatera to be considered as an endangered species. The Snodaterans know this and therefore agreed to break their vow on never travelling into space to take part in the Intergalatic Settlement.
