Homeworld: Duunfall
Galactic Population: Abundant
Appearance:
Orcs are tall, broad, and heavily muscled, built for raw strength and endurance. Their faces are marked by wide features and distinctive tusks that rise from the lower jaw, giving them an immediately recognizable profile. Most orcs have green skin tones, though red and grey hues are also known. Lifespans are short, rarely exceeding fifty years, but their fertility is high, keeping their numbers strong across the galaxy.
Overview:
Orcish culture traces back to the brutal warring tribes on ancient Duunfall, where survival demanded ferocity and endurance. That legacy left a lasting mark on their species: each orc carries within them a deeply ingrained primal rage, a force that can overwhelm like a second self. Many orcs embrace this fury, channeling it into warrior traditions, mercenary work, or other high-conflict roles. Others resist, struggling to tame or redirect the rage toward calmer pursuits. But this inner battle is a constant part of their lives.
Because of this, orcs are often viewed with caution, their reputations tied to volatility and violence. Outsiders expect them to be dangerous, quick to anger, and destructive, even when an individual proves otherwise. Still, orcs live boldly, their short lifespans encouraging them to act without hesitation and take risks that others would avoid. Though rarely counted among scholars or diplomats, they are respected as fearless fighters, survivors, and people who live with intensity unmatched by most species.
