Praedonia (Battle for Earth Reloaded Map Game)

&nbsp The Praedonii (singular Praedonis) are a species of travellers, attacking cargo ships and other vessels for the food they need to survive. They possess high levels of intelligence, and are experts in genetic technology (an invention unique to them). Despite their crude hunting techniques, the species has expanded steadily for many years.

History
Praedonius was once a powerful planet, with over ten billion inhabitants at its peak. However, the people were warlike and had many arguments. A previous missile network had been built up throughout the planet to defend against any invasion. However, when the tension between the countries was expelled in a declaration of war, the missiles were launched, all of them hitting their targets within nine hours.

Many countries were not directly hit by the strikes, but knew that soon the radiation would destroy them. In desperation, they launched every available spacecraft, saving as many lives as they could. The survivors were given one objective: find another planet to colonise and don't mess it up.

They returned back to their homeworld many times but it was deemed impossible to recolonise due to the radiation and the infertile land.
