Vargr

The Vargr of Lair (Provence 2402) are a bipedal canine slightly smaller than the average Human. This species resembles Terran wolves and it is generally understood that the Ancients genetically manipulated wolves into a bipedal form, either in an attempt to create servants or for some other inscrutable reason. The Vargr developed the jump drive in -3810. The Vargr culture and society is dynamic with social controls based on the personal charisma of individual leaders. Charismatic rulers appealing to the intense racial pride of the Vargr can establish strong unified states, but only for as long as they can maintain personal appeal. For this reason, they have great difficulty maintaining lasting polities, but tend to splinter into new groups with each change in leadership.
The Vargr Extents is the general term used for the area of Charted Space dominated by Vargr polities, which are unstable and short-lived by the standards of Humaniti.
There are a large number of Vargr states, almost all of which are variable in government types. The only commonality is that Vargr states tend towards the extreme ends of the government spectrum, either towards highly decentralized government in the form of confederations, or highly-centralized governments in the form of empires with supreme autocrats, though these often last for only one generation.
