Cultural Information: Margians

By Xanxa Symanah

 


Little is known about the culture on the four worlds of the Margian system — Margis Alpha, Margis Beta, Margis Gamma and Margis Delta.  Margians tend to be impractical dreamers who yearn for the glories of bygone eras and try to model themselves on legendary folk heroes. 

The Margians operate a strict and well-trained military organisation.  Warrior crews live a semi-nomadic existence.  They build camps in wilderness regions where they put their soldiers through a rigorous training regime.  Their whole lives revolve around fitness training, battle training and warfare practice.
