Tiziran
The most prominent lizardman species in the Milky Way, Tizirans use their cold-blood to their advantage, integrating into climate-controlled space environments with ease.
History
Pre-Split
The Tizirans, Unathi, and Ashwalkers encountered on the frontier share a common heritage. Each trace their lineage back to the arid aquifer world of Tizira. The earliest recorded evidence of what would be considered recognizably Tiziran culture dates back around 2200-2400 years before mankind first developed FTL capability.
The sun, Atra'Asl; the moon, Atra'Kor; and the low and high tides, Kor'Taku and Asl'Ton respectively; all hold significant cultural and religous meaning dating back to antiquity.
Circa 2000-2200 years pre-human FTL, under the influence of these natural cycles and the partially nomadic populations of early Tizira, two broad ideologies came to light. The first, associated with Dawn and the High tides and popular among the working class, stressed the collective good, personal decorum, and outward effort as ideal.
The latter, associated with Dusk and Low tides and popular among scholars and the educated upper class; stressed animistic harmony with the natural world, tradition, and the betterment of the self.
Tizira was not a unified planet at by the time its people had developed their first FTL drive (*200-400 years pre-human FTL*) The schism between conflicting ideologies had only deepened over the preceding centuries. A nascent stratocratic republic had reduced the monarchy to little more than a figurehead. Animistic tradition seemed to be slipping out of the mainstream of Tiziran society.
In the face of increasing marginalization, and struck with wanderlust at the opportunities of space, the progenitors of the Unathi and Ashwalkers struck out into the void aboard lizard kind's first interstellar voidships.
