Physical Descriptors.


Humanoid and human-like in appearance. Their noses are flatter, tending towards a dark pigmentation at the tip. Ears droop down. The most striking physiological dissimilarity between a Chadrian and a Human are their horns. They arise from the brow and follow the curve of the skull over the temple and above the ears where they tin to a point. Horns tend to be larger for males than females, though the use of recreational piercing, dying, and the addition of jewellery to the horns is a trait that spans the sexes. This is done for the many reasons that humans and other sapients get tattoos or exchange rings in formal ceremonies.

Key Points


Of the two Chadrian’s currently on record, their world is reported to be a similar analogue to 21st century Earth. There are numerous nation states that make of the supercontinent of their homeworld, though the three that have risen to prominence in the Warp Race were the most technologically advanced.

  • The Caladon Federation: democratically elected senate, with periodic leadership elections. Universal franchise. (Leader is The Prime Councilor)
  • The People's Republic Of Lishst: a theocratic religious state with an appointed Spiritual Leader For Life. Church-based election, restrictive franchise. (Speaker)
  • The Protectorate Of Hilgard: Militaristic state ruled by a junta of officers. Military-based service to receive limited franchise. (Protector General Of The Grand Army Of The People)


It was a Caladon led push for star travel that launched the Suma, the first warp-capable ship of the Chadrian people. It was on its maiden flight, having passed out of the inner planets of the Chadrian star system that all contact was lost with the ship and The Myriad made their presence known.
