Turtlia

Reptillia is a planet in the Maeltir Galaxy. An uncharted T-class planet in the far reaches of the galaxy, beyond even the outer-colonies. It has native insectoid lifeforms but it was accidentally colonised during the Terran Civil War by 3 reptillian Maeltir species.

Colonisation
A community of Pyrotoise (consisting of about 10,000 individuals) had fled from war-ravaged Earth during the Terran Civil War in an attempt to escape the Pavlan and Yalske occupation of Earth. However, a ship full of Cryophibians found their station and began to open fire on them (as they could be trialed for possible conspiracy). Unfortunatley, the Space staion fired back and severely damaged the Cryophibian craft but in the process was left vulnerable. The station's orbtial tracker was soon destroyed and both vessels crashlanded onto the planet. Without a method to get off the planet nor a way to send a distress signal to any nearby ships (as the system is in a mostly desolate part of the galaxy) the 2 opposing factions had no choice but to co-exist on the planet and start civillization over.

Genetic Mutation
In early stages of attempts to escape the planet, Pyrotoise scientists attempted to make a new impulse engine. With Redonium resources sparse on the planet the scientists attempted to mix the amount left on the ship with nearby deposits of Uranium. When the engine was activated, it became too unstable and caused a blast of energy across the islands. Fortunatley the Redonium's painful but non-lethal reaction to life-forms counteracted the Uranium's more nuclear material. Natural life (including the local animals and the Cryophibians) was paralysed for the duration of a few hours. But the Pyrotoise's (whom are descended from a bio-engineered Tortoise) were mutated into 4 strange new creatures. The Redonium re-activated the dormant 'elemental' mutant genes their descendent was implemented with thus creating 3 different sub-breeds of Pyrotoise (as well as enhancing the original species' fire-based powers), each with a different elemental-based physiology (See Below).

Inhabitants
The original sentient inhabitants of this world, as well as 3 alien species, co-exist on the planet but that does not necesarilly mean

Terratoise
The Terratoise is the Testudine race that controls the element of Earth. They are Brown and/or Black and have light green coloured eyes which makes it easier for them to see in total darkness. They prefer dark and dank environments normally preferring to stay underground or in mountainsides.
