Thyrsian

"Primitive these Thyrsian maybe but they will fight for their right to stand as equals with Zed'drath and their compatriots; preposterous i'd say."-Imperial Trun'chro naturalist ThraaanhThe Thyrsians are the most recent race added to the Imperium's fold. Their quest for equality has strained their relationship with most of the Imperium species.

Biology
The Thyrsians are an interesting species of sort as they share much of their DNA with Humans almost 87% total but there are with some genetic differences that effectively makes them not human. Thyrsian males are physically stronger than most humanoids credit to their increase muscle mass. Females can release pheromones which makes them seems more attractive to the opposite sex. These pheromones can affect their species males and even other species.

Culture
Thyrsian Culture is somewhat depraved by imperium standards. Their hedonistic views about sex and materialistic acquirement would make a Trun'chro blush. Before the Zed'drath, war between clans were brutal and savage. Melee weapons were often complemented with excessive spikes and usually only used to severely maimed targets. Blows inflicted on victims were to send messages to the opposing force. After the Zed'drath invasion and occupation of their planet, most Thyrsians were impressed by the Imperium's advance culture and actively sought to be apart of it. Per Zed'drath customs, the Thyrsians did not prove their worth and were denied many position within Imperium society. Even after the Soremia Uprising they continue to seek equality under the imperium.
