Chumakh

[Kenneth New]

The Chumakh are an insectoid race that walks on four legs and uses two arms. They're xenophobic, religious fanatics with extreme intolerance of all aliens and dissenters. They live rimward of the Earth Alliance, the Shoomari Empire and the Tekkaren Federation.

[Kenneth New]

The Chumakh war is technically still occurring. Although there's an undeclared cease fire along the frontier, the allies fear that conflict could erupt anew at any time. This is the main reason for the Treaty of New Lexington and the new cooperation between the Shoomari Empire and the Earth Alliance.
