Taldarian: An Info Dump
Physiology and Anatomy
The Taldarian are what one might call a model design in humanoid appearance. In nearly every sense they match up with the human hailing from Earth, perhaps even sharing a similar ancestry.
Like humans, Taldarians possess a similar dental pattern containing molars, premolars, canines, and incisors. Taldarians are born with an extra set of canines which gives off a somewhat menacing look. The male facial structure is built in a more rigid manner commonly giving them square jawlines and strong cheek bones, while women typically have rectangular faces and sharp bone structure.
Taldarians are built somewhat sturdier than humans, their denser bone design provides a more filled out and equal frame for the men. The women are similar in that few are built lanky, and while their legs and arms somewhat longer than their male counterparts they seldom develop a slender build. Since they are in line with the galactic average of humanoid forms Taldarians are capable of mating with nearly all other compatible races. Offspring can only be produced with a genetically similar makeup, however. Most children are conceived within the harsh winter months, but mating can occur at any point in the year if a whim is struck. Female Taldarians give birth in pairs of fraternal twins, one female, and one male. Higher volume pregnancies are extremely rare but possible. In these circumstances, the mother's life is often at risk and surgical intervention is required. The twins are connected throughout their lives through a mental connection and are raised almost inseparable until adulthood. Mental development is increased with the twins feeding of their sibling's experiences. Physical maturity is reached in their mid-teens similarly to humans.
Taldarians are bipedal, with two arms and two legs.
Taldarians have four fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand, and five toes on each foot.
Taldarians irises are commonly colored in dark/light browns, or amber, though rarely they can be a deep blue or silver coloration.
Taldarians hair and skin coloration vary from region to region as it is with humans living on Earth. Skin and hair pigmentation is darker the closer one gets to Voskova's equator, and fairer Taldarians populate the far north or the far south. With the ease of travel on their homeland, a mix of attributes can be found all over the globe.
The average Taldarians male lives to be 120-126 (earth) years old.
The average Taldarians female lives to be 132-138 (earth) years old.
The average Taldarians male is 5.11-6.2 feet tall.
The average Taldarians female is 5.3-5.5 feet tall.

Planet Voskova's details and composition
Voskova is a planet within the Beta Luporous Star System. The first of two life sustaining planets in the star system, Voskova is unique in that is comprised of one continuous continent surrounded by a mega ocean. Genova is the name of the massive landmass with its internal borders divided into numbered regions. Home to the central government and base of the main military force on Voskova, Region one protects and governs the seven other zones from within their mountainous bunkers that make up their relatively minute territory.
Regions two, and five are sprawling counties committed to food production for not only themselves but exporting it to other regions without the means to sustain their populations. Industrious and selfless people, they prosper with little government intervention within significant portions of the grasslands and temperate forests living relatively simple lives.
Region four is the largest of all the territories consisting of the coastline surrounding all of Genova. With such a wide swath of territory this region is a jack of all trades. Deep ocean mining, fishing, hydro energy production, naval defense, scientific research, space programs, and general housing for individuals wishing to live by the sea of which there are plenty make up just some of the duties taken upon Region Four.
Region three and six are geographically opposite one another on each pole of the world. Each is devoted to similar purpose, interstellar monitoring, global climate conditions, and regional conflicts. Few choose to live in the harsh arctic and tundra environments, but those that do are compensated nicely. Both of these zones consist of a handful of protected facilities, but the southern one perhaps the most so as it had to be built on an ocean platform.
Region seven is the second largest of the zones. It would be considered the typical cityscape. Built of business highrises, the financial districts, entertainment, medical, housing, and other various necessities, region six has carved out a swath of the natural landscape throughout Genova to make an advanced home for most of the citizens.
Region eight is similar to region seven if you replaced the lavish lifestyles and towering skyscrapers with miles upon miles of gray covering the land. The industrial region has torn apart the earth, smothering it in advanced factories producing the technical marvels Voskova exports around the universe. With just one look inside these colossal production halls, one might just understand why the Taldarians have devolved into technophiles.
Scattered across the vast ocean surrounding Genova lies numerous islands and archipelago chains, many of these lie uninhabited with few individuals seeking exile from the rest of the population. Some are held however for corporate and government research facilities, unnamed prisons, or conservation zones for dying indigenous species.

Inhabitants
Taldarians: The singular sentient species living on Voskova. In appearance, they could easily be considered the average humanoid. Where their ancestral roots lie has never been determined, the most common theory is that Taldarians are an offshoot of the same space particles that gave way to the humans of Earth.
In the modern era, the Taldarians face little in terms of natural predators save for the monstrous beasts lurking in the expansive depths of the ocean. Alien threats give the Taldarians only a slight pause. Savants with a circuit board, the united government of Voskova boasts a daunting advanced space fleet to any would be invading force.
A civilization on the bleeding edge of technical advancement, Taldarian society could be considered by some to be utopian. Nearly every square inch of their Pangea continent has been mapped out and settled for use in either city structures, resource mining, research development, farmlands, or industrial factories. Nearing the maximum sustainable population, the Taldarians spread out to their twin moons and other nearby planetoids to develop livable colonies.
Overpopulation is a constant issue as all births come in pairs of two, one male and one female. These twins have an empathic connection to one another from the moment they develop in the womb until the second either dies. It is believed that this development in their evolution has allowed them as a species to reach the heights they have in such quick order compared to others. This mental link imparts the strength of a second mind to ease any emotional trauma or distress the other might feel allowing for greater focus on matters at hand. Regardless of the distance from their sibling, they can always be sensed as if right by their side. Most studies from research institutes give credit to this connection for their astonishingly low crime rates, as it acts as a set of checks and balances to keep ill thoughts at bay. There are always outliers of course.
World Population: 8.2 Billion Taldarians
Largest agglomeration: Region Four and Region Seven.
Most Widely Spoken Languages: Tal'Rasch, Galactic Standard.
Government: Each Region elects a council member to be seated in the governing headquarters in Region One to determine policies concerning Voskova as a whole.
Religion: Numerous religions exist on planet Voskova. Several have grown on home soil while many others were brought in from across the stars. However, the majority hold their faith in the spirit within the circuits; a belief that by worshiping technology the light of divinity is shone upon them. Beyond that, a fanatical subsection has been rising over the recent decades. Their belief is that by merging one's own flesh with machine, that one is able to ascend closer to spiritual enlightenment.
