Trakzan
Ethnicity of suons native to the Trakzets Floating Island Cluster, located on Tebburus.
This area of land featured almost no explosive materials at all to use. As such, they advanced their crossbow technology to very high levels, even going as far as inventing a form of crossbow railgun. They would never truly unify until shortly before the Tastein invasion of their island cluster. This happened near the end of the Tebburus Unification War and while it was near continental Tastein.
Trakzanan suons have evolved an even higher ingenuity than other suon ethnicities. This evolution was driven by many years of war rather than environmental changes. However this advanced ingenuity works much better when explosives are not involved.
They have a crimson red skin colour and blue bioluminescence.
The lack of explosive material was thought to make them an easy target to Tasteinian forces, who could easily construct very large cannons which had very long range. The trakzans also had to rely on nuclear and renewable power sources, as there was no coal in any meaningful quantity. However, it would soon become apparent that Tasteinian forces would become quite impressed with Trakzan ingenuity, when they used railgun-crossbows against them. These were powerful enough to damage their forces, even at range. As such, Tastein was forced to up-armour their forces and deploy a proper invasion force with Taidakic airships and other advanced equipment. Larger railgun-crossbows could penetrate them, but were proven to be insufficient to hold off the entire invasion force.Although the ingenuity and imagination of the Trakazanian people were added to that of the Tasteinians for a wartime advantage against Ooblar, they tried to treat the recently conquered people fairly, and allowed them their own culture. As such, no rebellion formed at all but Tastein could still use them to help in the great final war - the war of the giants.
