Family
The Huth'rec have a strong sense of family. So strong in fact that a betrayal of your family is treason against the clan punishable by death. A Huth'rec never marries out side of the clan, it is considered a betrayal to your family if they cross clans.

Right of Passage
The right of passage happens in a Huth'rec's thirtieth year. It consists of the Huth'rec travaling to the bottom of the Goret or Faret sea. When they are down there they are to meditate for three days to find themselves. one the end of the third day, the Huth'rec it to fight a Cetor'net. By killing it or by other means, the Huth'rec is to take a scale off of it's head and present the scale to his or her clan council. If successful, the Huth'rec will move out of his parents house and be considered a full adult.

Government
The Huth'rec live under different clans. Each clan usually has its own city on Huth'rec'das. Each clan elects a council of elders to rule their clan. Before Norp'Gret (the Clan Wars), This was as far as the government went. Under Yat'Savut (the New Order), each clan elected a member to the Yoz'Gad (High Council). The Yoz'Gad dealt with affairs and laws that affected all Huth'rec'das.

Norp'Gad Clan Councils
Clan Councils have varying member counts per clan. This number, no matter how high or low it is, is always an odd number to prevent a tie. Clan Council members are up for reelection every 5 years. They can serve up to four terms as a council member. The only limit to becoming a clan council member is that you must be over 175 years of age.

Yoz'Gad High Council
The High Council has five members. Each clan is represented by one of these members. Each Clan Council elects these members from their ranks. The High Council members serve for a set term of 20 years. To Be elected to high council, a member must have served 3 terms or more in a clan council and be over 200 years old.

Language and Names
Nateg (Literally words)
Nateg consists of words that are combined with other words to make a sentence. An example of this would be Cad’o’res(The stars are far)or Gerth’o’jav (Warriors are brave). A 's marks a plurall. Name fallow the patten Clan name first then two Nateg words (ex. Doz'Norp'Jav’Cad). These long names are usually reduced to a smaller nick name. The Clan name is taken off and the last letter or two is taken off (ex. Doz'Norp'Jav'Cad to Jav'ca). A Nateg to basic dictionary fallows. ((Will be updated as words are needed in RP))

Before Written History _{Before 31,000 BBY}
The Huth'rec developed in the shallows. Some time around 40,000 BBY the first Huth'rec began to walk on land. After that, the Huth'rec would live on the islands, off the coast line of the Nathur Ring, or and the bottom of the sea.

Early Written History _{31,000 BBY to 13,345 BBY}
The Huth'rec written history begins around 31,000 BBY. It tells of nomadic Huth'rec in the Goret sea and of the origins to the right of passage. Around 28,000 BBY, the Huth'rec had found passage through the Nathur Land Ring. By 25,000 BBY, the Huth'rec had spread throughout the entire world.

In 23,483 BBY, Doz'Norp was founded. They where officially the first clan to be founded. The other clans where founded on the dates as follows. Koda'Norp founded in 23,475 BBY. Gret'Norp founded in 23,455 BBY. Brej'Norp founded in 23,424 BBY. Thus was the beginning of the Four Great Clans.

Clans Were known to fight among themselves. This happened only rarely, about every thousand or so years. But for ten thousand years, the clans ruled Huth'rec'das.

Norp'Gret Clan Wars _{13,344 BBY to 13,167 BBY}
In the year 13,344 BBY, a new clan was formed. Ura'Norp was made up of exiled persons, criminals and plain rejects. These Huth'rec formed the clan on the Nuthur Land ring.

In 13,318 a new council member,*This council members name has been erased from the data banks*, proposed an idea of world conquest. The new clan thought this a good idea and built up a massive military consisting of the entire population.

In 13,309, Ura'Norp declared war on Gret'Norp. The smaller war lasted for only 12 years. Ura'Norp succeeded in a full take over and set up a puppet council. Buy 13,295 Gret'Norp was totally controlled.

In 13,290, Ura declared war on the rest of the clans. They launched an all out offensive using Gret'Norp's troops to supplement their own. Up until 13,279, Ura'Norp was making head way. In 13,278, The other clans hunkered down and stop the offensive. It was a stalemate for over 100 years.

In 13,170, Brej'Norp made an important discovery. A speeder. This craft was the first vehicle that could go over land, water, and in the air. Huth'rec had never seen any thing that could get on both land and water before. Never anything that could go in the air. In 13,169, an offensive was launched against Ura'Norp. Within two years, Ura'Norp sighed a crease fire treaty.

Yat'Savut New Order _{13,166 BBY to 5,362 BBY}
In the year 13,166 BBY, the Yat'Savut Treaty was signed. It established a limited team limit for all clans. The Yoz'Gad was also established. Gret'Norp was freed under the treaty.

Ura'Norp was disarmed and was required to have a ambassador from every clan to monitor its activities for 50 years or until deemed fit. This new order lasts to this day.

Also under the Yat'Savut, the Clans set up an intermingled economy. Each clan took up a specialty and traded with the other clans for what they needed. This would ensure another clan war would brake out. The concept was if you hurt one clan, you hurt your self.

Space Travel _{5,361 BBY to Current}
In 5,361 BBY, Koda'Norp discovered crashed space ship outside its city walls. The Yoz'Gad classified it as top secret. In 5,346, The ship was reverse engineered. In 5,335, Koda'Norp released the discovery to the public. For 11 years, the Huth'rec explored their little corner of the galaxy usually not going beyond there system. In, 5,324 BBY, The Republic contacted the Huth'rec. In 5,332 BBY. the Huth'rec partitioned for admonition to the Republic. In 5,330 BBY, the Huth'rec were accepted as members to the Republic.

All in all, this a very well-made and nearly flawless race. There are only a couple small points and questions I feel the need to touch on.

1) I notice that the five clans are very specialized in their activities. This is almost more reminiscent of a caste system within a larger society as any one of these clans would be unable to thrive without a varied infrastructure. Do the Gret'Norp starve? Do the Koda'Norp share their findings with the other clans? Are the Doz'Norp utterly useless in world affairs?

2) If only a single clan lives on land, I must assume the species otherwise remains in the water at all time. Why would a species with such a lifestyle ever develop the capacity to be amphibious in the first place?

3) How exactly did a single wrecked piece of technology beyond the comprehension of a tribal society manage to sway the war so definitively?

4) On the same train of thought as the previous, 5 years after not developing but finding a wrecked spacecraft and they suddenly possess the capacity to explore the galaxy? You can be sure it took NASA a heck of a lot longer, whether they had a spaceship to work off of or not.

As I said, this is brilliantly written and formatted compared to some of the...other species applications that crop up here. You should read through and double-check grammar, though, just to make it absolutely perfect.

Long time I was gone, May as well finish this...

Awnsers to your q's in order

1) They Specialize in that but they have limited other ways and of coarse there is trade.

2) They have floating cities similar to the ones on Mon Cal. As for the amphibious status.... Why would the Quarren? Why would the Mon Cal? They just did.

3) Wrong time period(s) and as for the speeder, it is kind of like an A-10 going up against a humvee is how it played out. And they weren't tribal tech look at the Technology Eras. they where a little ways past industrialization.

4) They already had Space flight as of 6,353 BBY. This was a thousand years latter and it took them five years to say "oh this is how we did it wrong". I mean look at us today, we aren't maybe 100 years from warp drive (We just can't pin down negative energy but physics say it is there.)

Also if any one wants to use this race once it is approved, I don't care.
