Species
Government
-Name: Ferros
-Homeworld: Pasgeh
-Physical Appearance: Ferros have the remarkable characteristic of being shapeshifters, though their abilities are limited by reality and they can not spontaneously generate extra weight or spontaneously lose it. The agent behind this ability is believed to be conscious stem cell manipulation, given to the Ferros through centuries of genetic manipulation. Ferros society still does support a "normal appearance", a humanoid form with three eyes in a triangular pattern, smooth sandy colored skin, and a head with three prominent bony prongs.

-Average Lifespan: 300
-Protean Alignment: Nether
-Elemental Base: Carbon
-Average ESPER level: 3
-Total Population: 36 billion

Government
-Name: Ferros Empire
-Capital (City Name/Planet Name): Har-Bavel, on the planet of Pasgeh
-Member Races: Ferros
-Current Leader: Emperor Et-Amos Del
-Government System: Constitutional Monarchy
-Population: 36 billion
+History: The Ferros Empire was first founded in FY (Ferros Year) 1987, a very strange political entity when compared to the other states on Pasgeh who had adopted constitutions or had become republics. The strong leadership of the Empire's rulers allowed the nation to make quick decisions as a whole, and it soon rose to superpower status by the year FY 2033. The Unification period began in FY 2048, where the Ferros Empire began the process of absorbing weaker states near it and threatening others to sign treaties of annexation or just bending to the Empire's will. This outraged the great republics of Pasgeh, while other nations saw the strength of the Ferros Empire and wished to form closer ties with it.
Political tensions reached their breaking point in FY 2072 when the first global war broke out, the Ferros Empire and it's allies facing the republics of Pasgeh. The war lasted 6 years, ending in FY 2078, with the Ferros Empire victorious but both sides exhausted. A state of cold war began and once again the Empire was victorious, watching the economic ruin of it's opponents in FY 2139. The Ferros Empire quickly moved to absorb it's broken opponents, and held total control of Pasgeh in FY 2152 ending the Unification period.
A century passed in which the Empire rebuilt and improved it's conquered territories, and in FY 2250 efforts to expand out of Pasgeh's gravity well began. Drastic changes happened, such as the beginning of the genetic manipulation that would give the Ferros their shapeshifting abilities and the social issues that occur when a state leaves the age of scarcity. The nobility was able to finally enforce a limit on the powers of the emperor. The Empire found a way to keep the royalty and nobility, cope with the disappearance of the lower class, and generally retain the structure it had before post-scarcity.
Post-scarcity made goods abundant, and the royal family and nobles held the most of them. The ruling class lived lives of the greatest luxury,every wish they could ever make would be fufilled. The next class, the producers, lived lives of great luxury but not to the extreme of the ruling class. They held the vast robotic workforces that manufactured everything Ferros society needed, the estates to produce all the food that could ever be needed, and maintained the Empire. It was the class of scientists, merchants, and capitalists. The lowest class, the commoners, did not have the power to do much. They ran small businesses catering to other commoners, or did nothing at all, living off of the Empire's abundance of goods. They could hope to earn prestige by becoming a member of the military, now a mainly ceremonial occupation due to the peace brought about by the total unification of the species.
The final great advancement for the Ferros was the discovery of faster than light travel in FY 3023. It let the common class finally move up, with huge amounts of land in other systems avaliable for development, gave the military a new purpose protecting the now interstellar empire from those who turned to crime, and brought forth another age of progress in the Empire.
