Sirlachan

''"Damn Slaving Plants! If they keep this up, the whole sector will be enslaved!" --Tochuni General after the Fall of Logaz''

The Sirlachan of the Sirlachan Principality, a race of despotic plantoids native to the planet of Sirach.

Biology
The Sirlachan are plantoids, which means they are sapient plants. Sirlachan have two pairs of eyes which gives them increase range of sight than most species. All Sirlachan have two pairs of arms, one pair is used more frequently than the other. Their body and limbs are actually a mobile root system. They, like similar organisms like them mostly receive their nutrients through sunlight when they are adults while children receive their nutrients from the ground. Their lives begin as seedlings, buried in specialized pots in their parents homes. After about a year and half, the child's roots are sturdy enough to hold its weight and begin leaving their pot to explore and play. As they grow older, their secondary pair of arms grows with them; these new pair are often smaller than the first set. When mating, a chosen male and female pair stay in a sealed room. The male Sirlachan then releases its pollen in the air while the female will catch it through her movable antennae-like carpels on their head.

Culture
The Sirlachan are highly regarded as haughty and cocky. They have been taught since birth that the galaxy and overall universe revolves around them and it is their duty to conquer and "re-educate" those who say otherwise. Their religion hammers these beliefs down young Sirlachan throats for them to never question the state and the Prince. After they began enslaving the primitive species around them, the Sirlachan appeared to believe that their slaves owed them for "uplifting" them. This resulted in sort of cultural shift and attitude shift towards manual labor and strength based jobs. They felt it was beneath them to perform such work and only the poor and slaves should do it. Yet this snobbishness almost cost them the Petal War. They believed themselves to be protected by their divine gods and didn't think twice about an all out attack on their homeworld by Logazu forces.
