Cat
The Cat is a domesticated small carnivorous mammal that has quickly overrun the Galaxy of Astraesto following the species rediscovery in 4729AC, before then the species was believed extinct. With the last known member of the species dying in 39AC.
During the initial colonisation of the Galaxy, only about 20 cats were sent from the Homeland, with an additional batch of many thousand embryos stolen from the colonisation ship Omaha. For many years the way in which the embryos were stolen remained a mystery. This mystery was solved when the Federation Navy landed on the believed uninhabited world of Cryios VII, to determine if the colonisation of the planet could be attempted, or if additional terraforming would be needed. What they found instead was a huge number of wild cats, many of whom were initially aggressive to the naval forces.
Additional expeditions were soon underway to determine what the mysterious species on this planet was, and if it was a threat to the Federation of Anfieden and Allied Planets. A bunker was soon discovered, deep within a forest, with accounts by an unknown group, of how they had stolen the embryos from the Omaha. The group had eventually died out, having been stranded on the planet, but the cats continued to thrive without the interference of Humans.
Domestication of the cats found on the planet has begun, with domesticated cats finding themselves on planets across the galaxy, from the 4th Empire of Jerace to the Republic of Osheni.
