Mystiks (My-stiks)
Mystiks are not only a certain number of species, but it is used to refer to every species under the Mystik Confederacy umbrella.
There are six major species within the Mystik Confederacy including offshoot species Primes, Tsun (offshoot species), Ravai (offshoot species), Onei (offshoot species), Bakaie, Tikka
Industry: Due to Psionic use, Mystiks eat alot, and at least two restaurants can be found at every corner. Food production is serious business and lavish benefits are afforded to food producers including being able to have up to four children. Their medicare industry is top notch and the major break through in the industry was the invention of the gene therapy pod which can heal next to any injury, the medical establishment keeps a tight grip on these machines. The night life is big business, due to psionics, Mystiks are eager to put their ability to increase their sensory stimuli to use. Fighting dojo's also bring in alot of revenue due to the fact that the Dulae tend to recruit there.

History

Historical events from before, what's called, The Mystik Cataclysm are few and far between. The Cataclysm was a mysterious destructive event that occurred many thousands of years ago causing the Mystik species to become stuck on various planets and evolve separately, rapidly producing various unique offshoots of the Prime species template. Space travel was lost as more pressing concerns arose. Histories and technologies were forgotten and faded into legend as survival became paramount.
Arguably, the first to crawl out of this disaster were the Primes with a few industrious, forward thinking families at the head. They rediscovered space travel and found a need to spread their influence. These families formed, what we now know as "Aristos" or aristocrats. Each family was clan clan unto themselves, some were staunch egalitarians, Some abused their power to increase their family holdings, others were the definition of warlords.
There were many wars between the Aristos, some were fought with words between peers within a much needed "Aristo council" but many disputes ended in the death of thousands, causing multiple rebellions from the common folk, some of those rebellions won their independence, but few survive to this day.
The rule of the Aristos came to an end after a number of mistakes starting with the fall of the House of Cer, a much loved Aristo family who members were virtually wiped out in one night by the Aristo council, but they failed to take them all out which came to haunt them later on. Tired of Aristo rule a group called The Tomorrow Revolutionaries was formed, this was a group made up of subspecies and various others. The Tom Revos started a number of bloody conflicts with the Aristos and managed to grab alot of ground during the conflicts. The fighting seemed to last forever and the common people were tired of it, but the war seemed to have no end.
From seemingly nowhere, after twenty years, the last of the Cer's emerged, and determined to end the conflict between the two groups. His name: ?Coron Solmun Roe Cer. For the first few years both sides had a vested interest in his death, and often he would escape by the skin of his teeth, but his psionic ability grew more powerful and he gained the love of the common people, and after a decade of fighting the Tom Revos, The Aristos, along with other threats, he was able to bring the two sides to the table to talk, and out of those conferences emerged the Confederacy. Roe Cer famously refused a seat on the newly formed council, and instead founded the Dulae who act as highly trained peacekeepers, diplomats, and in times of war, generals.
A new golden age ensued, not to say that there were no conflicts, but noone can deny the unprecedented prosperity that the Mystiks have experienced for the last 52 years. Then the Av'Arul came, they parked their warships outside of the Kye-Roe belt and the Confed came to great them, the Mystiks made a great show of force by all accounts, but what truly frightened the Av'Arul was the sight of Roe Cer in space with no protective gear, landing infront of the cockpit of the Av'Arul capital warship and issuing an ultimatum, as a result the Av'Arul Empire left the Mystiks alone... for awhile.
Skirmishes with the Av'Arul was a constant throughout the years. The Mystiks started training for a war that they knew would break out one day. Roe Cer's thirteen year old daughter was kidnapped, Roe Cer went on a rampage within Av'Arul territory and this started the first galactic war. the war raged on for years and the Confederacy only allows two children per family unit so it was not long before a lose of man power became a huge problem. The war ended in a truce after an event simply called "The Destruction" destroyed a large portion of the galaxy.
