Karav are a semi-nomadic warrior culture built around many clans or on the more civilized worlds 'houses'. They are a warrior and martial culture that have long thought that violence is the only way to solve there issues and problems. Diplomacy is laughable and bribery is simple cowardice. All actions should be backed by power and all life should live by the sword. That is the Karav creed.

The Karav as a people are a mixture of multiple near human species that either came form the same home world or where 'honored additions' to the Karva people, all by rite of combat of course. They live across the known universe in nomadic fleets or smaller family units. Not all live this way some have carved out their own nations in a vast amount of territory known simply as: Karav space.

Karav are united in a basic culture, language, and shared traditions as well as the common decency to, generally, look out after the other clans if it is for mutual survival. They are divided however on various clan rivalries and feuds that often lead to small skirmishes and honor duels and at times large scale "Clan wars"

Karav as you can guess love to fight and have been fighting for quite some time this can take the form of actual war's of conquest to settle grievances with their neighbors or these wars could be simply to expand their power and reach even further. Almost any respective power can trace at least one war or skirmish they have fought with the Karav. The most famous of all of these are the 'Grand Crusades' that first put the Karav on the map and wrestled virtually two galaxies into Karav space.

Some Karav belong to no clan or host and instead find their thirst for battle fulfilled as mercenaries for hire. It is said that Karav mercenaries are some of the finest one can hire and they are found in the thralls of the richest, famous, and successful gangs, war bands, or even armies.

Generally all Karav wear similar armor for 'honor' reasons with the same design being used for uncountable millennia and has yet to truly fail the Karav.
