Name: The United Tribes of Skree (The UTS)

Leader: Grashnak Longtooth

World: Icica and her moons

Government: Republic of united tribes, leader chosen by non-fatal single combat of leaders of tribes

Race: Skree, a heavily adapted species to their ice world, the Skree have almost completely adapted to their frigid homeworld, Icica. They look like armour plated polar bears, although not as fat and upright, as well as more agile, although their muscles are still big and strong, they need to be to survive. Their blood has a natural antifreeze and they have a different kind of fat to other beings, much more dense and insulating, called brown fat, which means that they can be comfortably warm in sub-zero temperatures. This also means that they don't need a huge layer of fat for it to be effective, and its so dense it forms in plates on their bodies, joined with less dense fat, which forms a kind of natural armor which is effective against sharp objects and blunt impacts, although they can still be easily hurt if you know where to hit them. They live both on the surface and underground on Icica, and are also present on its two moons, from which over half of the annual produce is taken from to send down to Icica. In the event of being separated from its moons, the inhabitants of Icica can still survive on the vast underground fields of mushrooms present on Icica and on the food stored on the planet. Food storage is easy as one need only leave it in an unheated room and it will freeze through within 3 hours. However, all of this adaption means that on other planets and in different climates, the Skree need to wear fully enclosed basically mech suits to stop them from getting too hot and dieing, although they can survive without one for a couple of days. These mech suits are easily upgradeable and configurable for almost any purpose with the right parts, although mean that expansion onto other worlds is both costly and needs to be extremely well planned out. As stated above, the different tribes on the planet live in harmony with each other, although the normal tensions and arguments over territory or resources are still present. As resources are fairly uncommon on Icica, anything that is found is gathered with extreme care and precision, so that nothing is lost or squandered.

Strenths: Very hardy species, extremely resistant to cold, some natural armour and quite advanced technology due to necessity.

Weaknesses: Homeworld half-depends on moons for food and resources, mech suits need to be worn when not in cold temperatures otherwise they overheat, relatively ok economy, although it can fluctuate depending on trade

Other: Nothing much, all I have thought of so far is explained above
