Eos (species)

The Eos (singular: Eos) are a race of sentient amphibian-mammalian humanoids native to the planet Jadini. They are an extremely technologically-advanced race, skilled in both machinery and artistry, and with a passion for blending the two. They are also masters of mega-scale engineering, astrophysics, and artificial intelligence. From relatively early on in galactic history, the Eos have remained an extremely important and forefront sentient species, and have colonized a large variety of worlds throughout their native Mid Rim and throughout the Outer Rim. Their Eos Empire is arguably the most powerful interstellar entity currently known in the Milky Way galaxy.

History
The Eos were a race of sentient humanoids native to the planet Jadini. Before the Dawn Era, not much is known about this race, except that they were some of the first species in the galaxy to gain sentience. They were extremely skilled at creating advanced machinery, technology, and artificial intelligence. Most of their dwellings consisted of open-air cities with building styles such as pyramids reigning supreme. The Eos hailed from a low gravity planet, and were as such naturally very tall, lean, and weak. At some point in the Dawn Era, however, they genetically modified their own race to make their bodies more suitable to a majority of worlds and physically much stronger. Their hands had five digits, as well as five toes each. Male Eos typically underwent a natural metamorphosis during the pre-teen to teenage years, shedding their frail figures for a much more powerful new adult body. Females, however, remained thin and lean for their entire life. Both males and females were known to continue to molt into higher forms as they aged.

Biology and Appearance
Eos could be considered a cross between mammals and amphibians. While they did have live births, females lacked breasts and most young were able to feed on regular food early after birth. Due to a large amount of genetic tampering, experiments, and inbreeding over thousands of years, the Eos genepool was both small and weak. This was countered by their mastery of technology, and in the Dawn Era their knowledge of the art was such that they even managed to permanently alter their DNA and evolution, allowing members of their species to gradually outgrow their frail forms. Eos had what would seem to be the remainder of a gill-like structure on their necks, as well as a fat-storage center, implying that in the distant past the species was at least partly aquatic.
