ERCA Agricultural

The Home world of ERCA Prime is a lush world teeming with life. It wasn’t always like this though. In the time before the great awakening the planet was mostly harsh and arid. This caused many problems for the Ercans. The Ercans are tall slender humanoids who are resistant to most diseases and bacteria. They possess an extremely long life span of 200-300 years with some living to be over 400years old. Because of this the many tribes were in constant conflict over habitable land.
Then Erca, a great scientist, discovered a way to change substances at the molecular level. With this technology they were able to transform vast tracts of previously uninhabitable land into huge farms capable of feeding large numbers of people.
The tribes soon realized it was easier to put down their arms, suppress their violent nature and work together reshaping their world. They set up a ruling council which was headed by the scientist Erca. The many tribes merged into a few and each of these clans has a member on the council. The King heads the council and is a direct descendant of Erca.
Their technology grew by leaps and bounds as did their population since they had eliminated war on their planet. Soon they developed vehicles capable of leaving their planet. Their expansion into outer space rekindled the need for a military to protect themselves.
Today ERCAN Agricultural Centers are sought by many empires to aid in the production of food for their worlds. The Ercans are generally peaceful in their dealings with other races but because of their violent past the Ercan military is capable of holding its own and isn’t afraid or timid about entering into a conflict to protect or expand the Empire.
