Maert (D20 Modern Race)

Maert

The maert are a race that dwells in the dark lower reaches of Orth-Klamon, a planet that belongs to the dakor. But the dakor only control the upper reaches of Orth-Klamon. The lower reaches belong to the maert, a so-called "Nightmare species". Orth-Klamon is the furthest colony of the Dakor Empire, and the last planet encountered by the ill-fated Heavens I. The magnificent ship crashed on Orth-Klamon in 2604, and the remaining passengers and crew were either killed by the maert or captured by the dakor and questioned.
