These leaders, often descendants of veterans of the human empire's conflicts, oversee their clans and uphold Raxxian traditions. The Raxxian military is the heart of their society, but it is not just an armed force; it functions as an all-encompassing public works organization, reflecting their commitment to service.

History
The history of the Raxxian people is one marked by their integration into the vast human empire that once ruled the known galaxy. Recognized for their martial capabilities, they played pivotal roles within the empire's legions and the retinues of noble houses. Although positioned below humans in the social hierarchy, their dedication, discipline, and combat skills elevated them above most other alien species, granting them a status akin to second-rate citizens.
The decline of the empire into civil war saw Raxxians continue to play significant roles. Many remained loyal to the noble houses they had served, while others turned to the life of mercenaries, offering their services to the highest bidder. These tumultuous times tested their adaptability and resourcefulness, traits that would become integral to their identity.
As the empire's dominance waned, the Raxxians seized the opportunity to regain their homeworld's independence. Their long history of service within the empire had honed their strategic thinking and military prowess. This newfound independence served as a testament to their resilience and determination to preserve their cultural heritage.
