On there home planet an Heirloom held a virus that when uncovered spread across the world killing off 90% of their population, the last 10% only being strong enough in their natural regeneration ability to adapt, and then gene manipulation to make themselves immune, upon regrouping under there Supreme leaders they were able to set a goal, one that would unite the Kongs they would head for the stars and personally destroy any trace of these Heirlooms and anyone who uses them.
They often employ nukes to do so if their obliteration teams cannot perform the task.

Using gene manipulation they are extremely resistant to Poisons and Disease and anything that does get through is held by their natural regeneration until an immunity can be made usually.

History

Kongs really came into their own around the time Tuleons made first contact with humans. Taking to the stars under their Dictator rulers. Under the Title of Concord. Many kongs are willing patriots of the Concord, but they hold the distinction of having more deserters from their homeworld and moons than any other species. Kong immigrants are often accepted into the shady governments, syndicates, Consortium, Technocracy, Hegemony, and Confederations. So far, only the Zenith races refuse to accept them as their willing use of Heirlooms causes much conflict. Uncommonly, though,kongs are still loyal to the Concord, and do whatever they can to help out their people, especially in war. Some bad eggs in the population work as mercenaries or pirates, however, and they are often considered the most outgoing, rambunctious, and disorderly of the species. They are directly ruled by the Concord.
