THE MANTIS
The Mantis are a proud insectoid race of paleontologists and explorers bent on unravelling the secrets of the universe. For generations they have documented their planet's history, dug up every speck of dirt, and scoured the land for fossils and lost relics. Their homeworld of Proximus lies in ruin, desecrated by the mantis' insatiable desire for knowledge. It has become tradition for mantis to venture into space when they come of age and explore to their heart's content. Their habits have caused them to develop a mad lust for amber—a decorative gemstone made from hardened resin known for its ability to preserve and fossilize exotic lifeforms. Ships clad in amber and eyes to the stars, the mantis embark on lifelong voyages in search of the unknown.

As of RIGHT NOW, it has a decent amount of weapons (which need better names) and no armor. However, I've just partnered up with someone who is going to help me work on armor in the near future.

Thanks so much for reviewing! I know there's still a lot to get done, but I'm working hard whenever I get the chance.
