(for what ever reason wiki didn't want to post this on the lore board)

Ancient by even Rin standards, wicked and vile even too the Rin, it's the Thrall. While the Rin are the descendants of the Angels the Thrall descend from their ancient rivals the Mu. This has lead to lots of bad blood, frequent clashes, and general hatred yet each is far enough from the other (power base wise) that out right war has never really happened. Anyways enough on history/politics to the faction itself.

The Thrall are an oligarchy or species with one, the 'Pure blooded'/'Untainted' being the 'master race' and the other known as hoardlings or well the Thrall (from which the faction takes it's name). Mixed in are the slaves they take, war beasts, and other monstrosities. While the Rin see beauty in order and perfection the Thrall see beauty in chaos and imperfection (really just failed perfection for them) a almost mirror image of each other just like their ancient fore mothers.

Thrall society is dominated by the lower class by "Might makes right." and the upper classes by unregulated greed and hoarding as well as plenty of fun power struggles. Their law tends to be rather brutal and one sided with the ruler ship really winning ever case, struggle, and feud at the expense of the lower classes.

Now the upper classes are known as the 'Pure Bloods' this mainly comes from the either proper natural birth or the 'clean' cloning they use which keeps their race looking fair, 'pretty', and strong.

The lower classes are born by semi-natural means now turn industrial. The Hoardlings are reptiles after all and thus are born in large 'breeding vats' the Pure Bloods just have now made them larger and put in chemicals for both more productivity and larger breeds.

Thrall society and the Thrall Amalgamation (seeing as they aren't a united state) revolves around the petty warlords and tyrants fighting to expand their own fief while only coming together in dire need. This means while their territory is expansive it is also fractured and divided with many worlds being highly contested and in perpetual war between two or more clans.

Thrall warfare is the same way massive competing war bands that some times can capture worlds quicker due to rivalries and other times they get annhiliated completly. Really it dosen't matter as the Thrall have massive hoards of excess to throw at the enemy (they actually have to keep fighting due to the industrial amount of troops costing more resoucres then the Thrall can handle)
