Keu'it

The Keu'it are a race of sentient, Magnesium-based life forms native to the planet Krittiss. Although they do not rely heavily on their religion, they are known to reference it and its immense set of deities.

History
The Keu'it were in conflict with their rival inhabitants of Krittiss, the Gorivin, for as long as their history can recount. As their species evolved, so too did their mining skills, and with that came new technology. After many millennia of conflict, cooler heads prevailed and the two sides arranged a truce... Which lasted for 3 standard minutes. After having mastered terranean and subterranean battle, the next route was to the skies, however the Gorivin decided to build Space Craft as well, however they did not succeed and wasted precious time and resources. This allowed for the Keu'it to gain an advantage which they had no problem exploiting. However, Horin explorers arrived just in time and put an end to the conflict. The Keu'it were brought into inter-planetary affairs and eventually became some of the founding members of the Union of Free Planets. However, their hostilities with the Gorivin have persisted, causing many tense situations over the years.

Today, the Keu'it suffer under a pro-Gorivin, anti-Keu'it government on Krittiss. There are rumours of a new conflict in the making...

Physiology
The Keu'it are Magnesium-based organisms, with a rock-hard external layer. They are very much humanoid, but with overall taller bodies, heads, and limbs. Their skin comes in several different stone-colours, most commonly brown and grey.
