Their civilization developed with little conflict until the time of the Disbelief. Small oases sprang up and soon the Uva Mosk turned their planet into a hospitable world. Rotting pieces of the Tree of Life were cut off and moved to other parts of the desert. This huge canyon is called the Bed of a Thousand Tears. Over time the Tree of Life rotted away leaving a deep canyon where it had once lain. His name is still reviled in many an Uva Mosk gathering. His weakened section of the tree snapped and the Tree of Life crashed on top of the napping Tuka. Eventually the wind blew towards Tuka's area. A fierce sandstorm arose and tossed the Tree of Life about. The tree grew weak on that side because the slothful Tuka would not keep it strong. He would rather bask in the shade of the great tree and dream about all the care he would give it when done napping. Unfortunately, one gardener, named Tuka Dimx, was very lazy. Each Uva Mosk was responsible for tending the different areas of the tree. The Tree grew to astounding heights because of the care given it by the Uva Mosk. The Uva Mosk were created to tend the Great Tree and protect it from the harsh sandstorms. Only one part of the planet supported life - a small fertile oasis around the Tree of Life.
The legend has it that their homeworld was covered by desert. Uva Mosk literally means "Of Tree" as they believed their species originally bloomed from the Tree of Life.

Uva Mosk are born as medium-sized eight-legged larvae. The smaller the government, the better off they feel they are. Once the colony feels they that no longer require the services of this great shaman, the Grand Hortus retires to tend several lush gardens.īut even though they recognize the need for a single leader, the Uva Mosk have a huge problem with authority. All military and economic actions become this Grand Hortus's responsibility. This high shaman, called the Grand Hortus, watches over the well-being of the Uva Mosk colony. The Uva Mosk only allow one individual to guide their revolution. These reserves give huge bonuses to any building placed on that square in the settlement map. By performing a shaman dance mission, Uva Mosk Command Corps can detect hidden reserves of natural resources. Only their food production falls second - as Tarth farmers produce larger crops.Īs Uva Mosk grow older this skill of observation becomes a science. An Uva Mosk settlement always produces more natural resources than other colonies and so they have plentiful supplies of food, wood, iron, energy, and endurium. Nothing escapes their meticulous topographical skill. Spying infantry can then go undetected inside enemy territory and launch a guerrilla attack, taking the other colony by surprise.Ĭareful observers of nature, they note all the variations in plant growth and rock outcroppings. Their soldiers change their body colorings to fit their surroundings this makes their Scouts and infantry hard to see. All their infantry units have the ability to spy.

Gallius IV would be the perfect world to prove the justice of their revolution. The Uva Mosk believe that their way, the Uva Mosk Revolution, will slowly convert other races into following Uva Mosk ways. Unfortunately these polluting, wasteful beings escaped into space, spreading their blight to other planets. They believe that if it were not for space travel, these races' homeworlds would have killed all of them off. The Uva Mosk are horrified by what they feel is the wanton waste of all the other galactic races. Their view of themselves is that they are parasites that live off a host planet. Throughout their culture, they believe that planets are living things that support life and so they always treat them with absolute devotion.
