Dwarf

(Homo robustus)

The Dwarves in the Far-Star Victoria systems, who refer to themselves as the Dweorg, have a tumultuous origin rooted in exploitation and survival. Created by Vitatech Labs, a subsidiary of Astraea Corp. on the desolate planet of Erebus, the Dweorg were the product of an illegal genetics project aimed at developing resilient individuals capable of enduring the planet’s extreme mining conditions.

Following The Event, the Dweorg were openly utilized as a slave workforce. The Corporation no longer feared legal repercussions from the Earth Government, leading to a bleak future for these genetically modified beings. They toiled relentlessly, extracting valuable minerals from beneath the planet’s unforgiving surface, all while struggling to maintain their dignity and sense of identity.

However, nearly a century after their creation, a courageous group of Dweorg orchestrated a daring escape from their oppressors. They commandeered a cargo ship and, in a twist of fate, crash-landed on the vibrant planet of Elysium. The harsh reality of their past fueled their determination to forge a new beginning. There, amidst the lush landscapes and abundant resources, they founded a settlement that blossomed into the Republic of Freiheitland—a thriving Dwarf nation characterized by its strong sense of community and unity.

The Dweorg are known for their large families, a reflection of both their resilient spirit and their desire to build a future free from oppression. It is speculated that they are among the most numerous of the post-human races, thriving in their newfound home. Their exceptional constitution not only ensures their survival but also grants them a remarkably long lifespan, permitting them to pass down their stories and culture through generations. Today, they continue to cultivate their identity while navigating the complexities of a universe that remains fraught with challenges and opportunities. As they work towards a brighter future, the Dweorg honor the memory of their past while embracing the possibilities that lie ahead.
