Gorivin

The Gorivin are a species of sentient creatures from the planet Krittiss, however some believe that they did not originate on Krittiss. However, no viable alternative has been given yet. The Gorivin are renowned for their tireless work ethic and their expertise in mining.

History
The Gorivin were in conflict with their rival inhabitants of Krittiss, the Keu'it, for as long as their history can remember. As their species evolved, so too did their mining skills, and with that came new technology. After nearly a million years 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 take it one step further: They built the first Space Craft of their planet. Unfortunately, none of them actually obtained escape velocity and the Gorivin suffered the consequences of wasted resources. However, Horin explorers arrived just in time and put an end to the conflict. The Gorivin were brought into inter-planetary affairs and eventually were some of the founding members of the Union of Free Planets. However, their hostilities with the Keu'it have persisted, causing many tense situations over the years.

Today, the Gorivin are known for working in many dangerous conditions and for their expertise in mining. Of the two Krittissian species, the Gorivin definitely got the better end of the deal, but the hostilities are reaching a new high and whispers of a coming war are often heard among the populace.

Physiology
Gorivin have 4 large, stocky legs, equidistantly placed around the body. They have a very "Muscular" build and sand-coloured skin. They have two arms with strong hands and a head on top of their body. Their heads are usually very compressed due to the long hours their species generally spends deep under ground with high pressure. They are gruff and often perceived as rude, however they have a high sense of honour when it comes to work.
