Jeru

The Jeru are a reptilian humanoid species originally from the destroyed planet of Katur.

The Jeru are a reptilian shell-less turtle-like species with red spots running along the backs of their heads and along their arms. Their eyes also resemble turtle ears and they have reptilian nasal passages and two ridges above their eyes.

By 2142, they had exhausted their planets natural resources and riots began to break out across the planet. As a result, they terraformed and established colonies on their neighboring planets Tavin and Kov and began to extract resources from the planet. In the 2340's both colonies demanded their independence, which led to a massive war in the system. All three planets were soon destroyed, with surviving vessels escaping the destruction.

In 2480, their vessels reached a planet which they deemed their new colony. However, the planet was colonized by the Terran Federation many years prior and became the colony. Although many wanted to welcome them in, several government officials said there were not enough resources for twelve million people. A referendum was soon made and it was decided that the Jeru would settle on the colony.
