Known lifeforms: G10 - Onix An unforgiving planet dominated by Lava flows. Very predatorial life. Known lifeforms: Oni-Ren Description: Named by an early Kawashita explorer whose crew was taken hostage and eaten by one of their smaller clans, the Oni-Ren of G10's Onix have developed a reputation throughout the galaxy as a backwards people. A.L.I.E.N. refuses to work with them, since the Zoid are considered a delicacy by the Oni-Ren, and the uncooperative feeling is mutual. They are one-eyed humanoid sentients with a tough hide and high heat tolerance. The Oni-Ren are universally matriarchal, and not egalitarian, with the males of the species unable to hold positions of power, and often serving as foot soldiers during times of war. The largest organized government of the Oni-Ren, the Gongen Empire, dominates almost the entirety of Onix's north pole where some of the most fertile land, and greatest deposits of copper can be found. The empire is characterized by lack of trust for Offworlders, and maintains a policy of isolationism. The Oni-Ren from the empire and those within its range of influence all follow a similar religion featuring a pantheon of celestial figures for whom many copper statues have been erected. Recently a deadly illness has spread to the Gongen Empire, known as "Black-Eye"... the Gongen Empire lacks the technology level to effectively combat the illness and refuses to work with outsiders who may be able to help them. Threat Level: Medium to High. Depends on what clan or faction one encounters. Many are openly hostile when encountering offworlders. The consumption of sentient species holds no taboo to the Oni-Ren. Even among more "civilized" factions, outsiders are often treated poorly. Source: Octan's cultural informant, Ba'al-Ba'al Jinks.
