Duros

Duros are a race of humanoids, native to the planet Duro, with blue-green skin, red eyes with narrow slits, and bald heads. Their planet Duro was united under a world government in 1954 A.D. The Duros and their planet were discovered by Vulcans in 1988 A.D., and soon after first contact with Neosapiens occured. The government of Duro was traditionally democratic and elected. The traditional religions of the Duros are either monotheistic or polytheistic, but never have been influenced by the Progenitors or the Cult of the Allspark. The planet Duro has suffered raids by Space pirates, the Cylon Empire, the Dalek Empire, and the Klingon Empire over the centuries, although since 2499 A.D. the planet has been an autonomous member of the Earth Alliance. The Universal Church of the Celestial Sun has made an increasing number of converts among the Duros, and the Russo-American Mercantile (RAM) has increasingly used Duros as employees. Growing number of Duros have settled in various worlds of the Earth Alliance, Church Space, and RAM Corporate Space.

During the time of the Intergalactic Wars, the planet Duro was at first part of the Earth Imperium, but in 3006 was conquered by the Alliance-in-exile. Later, during the war pitting the Alliance in exile against the coalition of the Earth Imperium and the Drule Supremacy, the planet Duro again came under control of the Earth Imperium. The democratic elected government of Duro was dissolving during both occasions of occupation by the Earth Imperium.
