Editing Myenru (section)

==History==

The Myenru race possesses a rich and vibrant history filled with warfare, marvelous artistic ages and periods of rapid technological advances. As a race the Myenru are naturally unwilling to accept other cultures, beliefs and points-of-view, and they instinctively distrust most other species.  The Myenru people possess a great deal of aggression as a whole and naturally make excellent soldiers and police. Myenru culture is carefully organized around the heredity castes that developed on their home world. This organization is present throughout their history and cultural identity.

The Ancient Myenru believed that a God created them for the purpose of warfare. They generally believe that they are prefect in their design, and therefore constantly strive to prove their superiority.  This is done through Military conquest and when necessary, completely genocidal eradication of their opponents. The Myenru hold military rank and honors as a high privilege, and maintain several thousand schools of military science. 

The Myenru Race have experienced several violent periods of warfare as a result. 

Myenru Anthropologists believe their species to have originated on their world in the last 300,000 years. Early Myenru were efficient hunters, capable of sustaining themselves in a brutal and competitive environment. Early Excavations indicate that the Myenru mastered the concepts of stone tools and basic lift principles within 1,000 years of their appearance on the planet. The many artifacts recovered from these sites included crude flight capable  toys, advanced spear slings, and indications that they had developed the lever and wheel as tools.

After a period of several thousand years, the Myenru evolved from the Stone Age into the Metal Age. This period in their history is characterized by the sudden appearance of metal tools. These tools were usually improvements upon the same basic tools that had seen heavy use during the Stone Age. This period of Myenru history is also the time when the first Hierarchical organization is seen. Ancient Burial Sites indicate that a series of social evolutions also took place in the organization of the Myenru.  And although there is no empirical evidence to the fact, it is widely believed that it is in this period of time that the Myenru first showed signs of organized religion.

After further social development, roughly 10,000 years, we begin to see the distinct trappings of civilization. This is evidenced by the sudden appearance of art, language and writing.  It is believed that the Myenru organized themselves into clans during this period of time. The stimuli that caused this sudden social organizational shift are unknown, but it is suspected that the need to protect their individual resources became of paramount concern. It is during this period in their history that we begin to see the organized military competition for resources that will come to characterize the Myenru Culture for thousands of years.

For the next 6,000 years of Myenru development, we see a distinct advancement in woodworking, pottery, ceramics, stone masonry, agriculture, animal husbandry and military technology. Additionally we see the first development of religious philosophy and moderately advanced governmental science. These developments combined to create a primitive city-state civilization. 

A series of Wars and religious upheavals reformed the Myenru society, their ability to adapt quickly to military and social change and to adopt a unified religious belief system, allowed even greater social and scientific development to take place.  Unlike most races, the Myenru never really approached a level of social disorder that threatened their survival. This time of warfare and religious conflict is called “The Subjugation”. This period of Myenru history is the most hectic, and rapidly developing. During this time, their concepts of religion, medicine, philosophy and science lead the way to the future. It was also during this time that the Prelates established their roles in society. 

the Myenru entered into a series of astounding technological breakthroughs.  With the discovery of microbiology, the basic concepts of Medical Disease Transmission, and the base concepts of physics; the Myenru significantly reduced their mortality rates, established larger urban centers and developed industrial manufacturing. These techniques were already underway, and in widespread use, while the Greek city-states still struggled for supremacy on Earth. 

It is not certain when the Myenru developed powered space flight, but it is clear that they rapidly developed warp technology. The subsequent expansion of the Myenru was undertaken by the Religious Caste. When the Myenru encountered their first sentient non-Myenru species, they conducted a religious crusade against them and subjugated them. These slave races would serve in various positions inside the newly formed Myenru Empire. Later those species that would be encountered and would offer any sort of resistance to the Myenru religious system would be pacified. This entailed their complete genocidal destruction.  Myenru starships began to be produced for the sole purpose of expanding the Myenru religion among the stars.
