Homebrew Arelan Orc Species Details
Orcs are the most common Goblinoid in The Cluster, they are known for their hulkish strength, and they're typically not the brightest of folk however they long to be in a group more so than any other race, this is due to their homeworld of Ureach being an extremely savage world where everything wants to kill you, scholars theorize that this worlds biosphere was the result of a failed terraformation effort by Lemori but this cant be confirmed as the known lemori to be alive do not know if this is the case.
The Orcs are known mainly for being pirates and scavengers due to them functionally being, a late E-civ, however occasionally they get their hands on tech made by other races, despite their inferior tech and lack of understanding however, the Orcs never cease to amaze as they band together to figure out and utilize tech at great efficiency sometimes even better than the creators especially in war, it's unknown why they can do this, however, it’s speculated that the fold has effected them somehow with its psychic influences, either way, they never ever give up which often results in some marvels that seem impossible to even the remaining Lemori.
