Majorans

Living on the Planet Major, near the edge of the galaxy, the Majorans are one of the most recently developed sentinent species the UNSC has encountered. The Majorans,are a low tier race, still using swords and shields, instead of more advanced ranged weaponry, though the Majorans have shown to have a brilliant amount of knowladge in the use of Gravity weapons.

Physical Description
Majorans are generally short, with 5'5 being the average height. Majorans are Purple skinned, as and see in Ultra-Violet, they have large Yellow eyes, and spikes circle they're face, these spikes serve as a conductor to special glands in the Majorans cheeks, that continously generate friction, allowing Majorans to exert electric charges at foes. Majorans are also incredibly long lived, taking 58 human years to reach the Majoran equivilant of 18, as they age at a rate roughly 3.2 times slower.

Technology
The Majorans are to modern standards, a rather undeveloped race, though due to the species age as a whole, they are developing at a phenominal rate. They have clocks, fireworks, cranes (a much more primitive version then in modern times), an extrordinarily advanced telescope, among many other common pieces of technology. In weapons the Majorans still use swords and shields, but have in the past 300 years been developing Gravity weapons, similar to the Brute Gravity Hammer, as well as, remarkably, a far more efficeint version of a Gravity chair. Recently a Majoran Baron threatened the Seperasts with a gigantic Gravity based weapon, which threatened to use to cause H'ck's moon to collide with the planet.

Political System
Major is divided into several countries, each of which is run by a Baron. These Barons control all matters, in a similar fashion to kings, though the title of Baron is not hereditary, rather it must be claimed by the most intellegent Majoran in the country after the previous Baron's death. This is normally done through a huge Trivial Ritual, that pits the wits of the Majorans against each other.

In each country, the towns are each controlled by Mayors, who are in direct control of the proceedings in each town, these Mayors are chosen by each Baron as they are instated, and can be changed at the Barons whim.

Arts
The Majorans are skilled instrumentalists, creating a wider variety of instruments and musical genres and songs then on Earth. They are also skilled artists and Dancers, and these 3 subjects seem to be taught at an early age, and seem to be among the more important subjects taught to the children.

History
Very little is known of early Majoran history, as they have failed to keep detailed records. Though their history involving Humans started in 2557, when The Mighty Red Falcon landed their after realising it was populated, as they had recently aided the Grunts set up a civilsation on H'ck. The Majorans of the country the Crew landed in were suprisingly kind, thinking of them as messiahs, to tell of the End Days, when the boiling moon would fall upon them. Judas Rimmer, unaware of what they were saying, unintentionly in Majoran said the word 3, causing the Majorans to believe they only had 3 days left to live. This caused horrible confusion around the world, as riots broke out. The crew succeeded in explaining the situation, though one of the countries Barons was greatly angered and offended by these, "fake Messiahs", and he with his recently developed Gravity weapon, which could move small moons, threatend to destroy H'ck, until convinced otherwise. The Majorans have since developed a freindly relationship with the UNSC and Seperists, who are aiding them develop further.
