The Erganites are a evolved from a reptilian race on Erinax. They have oval shapes heads and sturdy jaw lines. While the females have slightly thinner heads they still have quite thick jaws. They have two arms and two legs, with remnants of what was once a tail. They have somewhat pointy chins, which with their wide mouths contribute to their look as a hunter.

Their faces are dominated by their large features. Their noses are wide and flat, and they have around 2.5 million olfactory receptors in them. Their two eye are slit vertically and are larger than most species. They can focus at both short and long distances. They are diurnal creatures, with their vision being more adapted to daylight conditions.

Their skin is strong, covered in thick scales. Their scale colors are between light grey and dark purple, which tend to become lighter as they age. The nature of their skin means they are hairless. Erganites also shed their skin every 6-8 months. They will often the skins the night after they completely shed them, in what's called nara’esh, which translates to ‘The Burn’.

Being a reptilian race, the Erganite species reproduce via eggs. Once fertilised, an Erganite egg is put in a special area in their home containing a small pool. It sits there for around 12 months, before hatching. Once it hatches the Erganite youth, or pane’, remain in the room with pool for their first 10 months of growth. They are, at this point, quadrupeds. It is during this initial year that they first begin to walk on just two legs. During this phase, their legs continue to grow at a faster rate than the rest of their bodies, enabling them to learn to use only 2 legs more gradually. They also have a horn like bone on the sides of their heads. They usually get their first bone growth within their 4th or 5th year. It starts off below their eyes, and then gradually grows around the eyes then through the back of the head.

An Erganite adult male can grow to between 165 cm and 225 cm tall, while females can reach between 150 cm and 200 cm tall.

Physiology

Erganites are naturally more aggressive than their Ravager counterparts. Their hands and fingers are particularly thick, and quite strong. The bone structure on their heads also gives them a substantially stronger skull bone to most creatures, with the exception of perhaps the Klingons. The tips of these horns can be used as a weapon. This, in conjunction with their thick scaly skin, makes them a formidable opponent, who could easily hold their own against a Klingon. This is one of the reasons they make up a bulk of the Wi’u’Kai military.

Homeworld

Erinax is the homeworld of the Erganites. A large portion of military training facilities of the Wi’u’Kai are located both on Erinax and it's orbiting moons. There also some ship building facilities in orbit.
