The Dithan Empire
If I can not bend the will of Heaven, I shall move Hell.
A People's Adress
Excerpt from Altair
"People of Ditha, some of you may be wondering about the recent defeat at the hands of the Earthborn scum. I can assure you that this defeat was merely a minor setback and the invasion will continue as planned." Sol had the voice of a commander; his words echoed through the amphitheater and his statements were punctuated by the tumultuous eco of cheering and applause.
"Now, many of you are aware of the rising tension between us and the surface dwelling barbarians. Do not concern yourself with such trivial matters. The Surface Dwellers are less of a threat than a monkey with a stick. They are primitives! They live in squalor their children die of dysentery and their elderly die of cancer. They have less of a chance of building a plane that a child in infancy. Above all, they are scum—worthless baseborn scum. The Earthlings are scum, the Roaches are scum, and the Greyskins are scum... ALL SCUM WILL BE CRUSHED WITHIN THE CLOSED FIST OF THE DITHAN EMPIRE!" With this Sol raised his closed fist thumb pointing out—the universal symbol for Dithan power. The crowd erupted with applause and the amphitheater was filled with chants of Oderint dum metuant.

Demography and Population
Skyfolk
The Skyfolk make up the ruling class and are comprised of the Alpha races. The Alpha races are considered to be superior to the Beta races in Dithan society. The Alpha races include Voidborn, Humans, Caelum, and Alpha Half-breeds. Those of Divine Lineage are considered to be Royalty and have a higher social status. Half-Breeds although retaining first-class citizenship are usually discriminated against. Humans are subject to pity from the other races while Voidborn are envied for their incredibly long lifespans. Although Shadows are now incredibly rare they hold the highest positions in society and amongst the nobility.Average Anual Birth Rates

The Surface Dwellers are seen as undesirable races and are generally enslaved by the Skyfolk or slaughtered on sight. They are comprised of the major Beta races—Roaches, Greyskin, and Beta Half-Breeds. Roaches are very strong and are either used as miners or killed due to overpopulation. Greyskins and Beta Half-breeds, however, are sometimes used as domestic servants. All Beta races are generally stronger than Alpha races and thus get used in the military as cannon fodder.Average Anual Birth Rates
