Promethean Empire (Battle for Earth: Prime)

The Promethean Empire are a brutal, warrior race that seeks to expand throught the galaxy in an attempt to cope with Prometheus's increasing demand for natural resources. They first began their expansion beyond Prometheus on 20,000 BCE 200 years after destroying another race that inhabited the planet:the Ulmari. As time passed, they began going on a rampage of conquest.

History
The Prometheans like the humans were a brutal and warlike race. The Prometheans are believe to have discovered written language between 80,000 BCE to 60,000 BCE. That around the same time of the Martians discovered spaceflight and expanded into the interstellar age. By 20,200 BCE the Prometheans and their rivals, the Ulmari were reaching the industrial age and eventually fought over dominance over Prometheus. By 20,000 BCE Prometheus was drained of its natural resources, a similar fate that would await humanity eventually somewhere in the 21st century, if not for the alien interference during the 1960s. As the Empire expanded into the vast void of space. The Empire encountered their makers:the Martians. However first contact was disastrous as the Promethean fleets attacked the science vessel that was patrolling throughout this sector and during the initial assault on the Martians, the Empire managed to raze entire worlds to rubble. By 5,000 BCE most of the Martians were destroyed, and the Martians made one last stand on Mars. Even then it was hopeless for the Martians as the Prometheans set fire to the Martian homeworld:Mars. Time passed and as it further expanded, it has conquered about 20 other alien races and has a huge empire across the Orion Arm. In the 20th century the Empire would find the descendants of their former enemies;Humanity and the most powerful and most difficult to conquer since the Martians.

Government
The Promethean Empire's form of government revolves around a form of totalitalian dictatorship surrrounded behind the figure of Emperor. Some people within the Empire attempt to dispose of the Emperor and all these attempts were met with brutal supression. So apparently the Empire to the humans could be considered an alien version of Nazi Germany.

Culture
Apparently the Prometheans before the Great Purge had mainly Polytheist religions revolving around the Martians until the Empire finally purged any and all religion within the Empire. They tend to harvest other alien species not only for trading with other species but also because on Kirmorir being a dedication to the victory over the Ulmari, where the Prometheans eat the harvested biomass of the harvested species as a symbol of Pride and of their continuing conquest of the galaxy. According to Promethean tradition if a female is defeated in battle by a male it is considered a chance of being declared as man and wife during marriage and these battles usually tend to be dangerous and bloody.

Biology
The Promethean physiology is quite similar to human physiology although they have 4 fingers on each hand and foot, they are 6 times stronger than the average human whom would consider this a superstrength and tend to have nostrills but no visible nose at all. They also tend to have reptilian eyes as well.
