Biological Description                   := Cephalopeian biology is somewhat vague, they are a race that posesses both mammilian and cephalopod genes.  That is to say they seem to be a race of warm-blooded 'squid'-like humanoids.  They have a recessive trait of psychic domination that seems to have been activated by unknown technology.  Apparantly they do not need to breath and are quite at home within a vaccuum.  Their lifespan is 2months 'un-bonded', those 'bonded' with their 'mounts' live a span equal to the mount, which is to say about 50 Earth years.
Society Description                      := They have a completely feudal society where war and battle hold dominance over all else.  There are just no words in their language for 'art' or 'music'.  Conversely there are over 100 different words for 'War' and over 50 for 'Slave'.  They are controlled by a King, the position is hereditary but replacement by force has been known to happen.  Their law system is quite simplistic, he who is strongest is right, the weak are wrong and fit only to be owned.  Slavery is a right and not a crime.  Indeed the only crimes in thier society are weakness and failure, which they deem one and the same.
General History Description              := The Cephalopeia were a race of almost animal-intelligence, a hunter-gathering society, until they encountered a Monolith of alien origin.  It altered their DNA, activating a psychic gene that reshaped their lives.  With this newfound Mental Domination they enslaved the local spacefaring race of squid-like creatures called the 'Y'Rinth'.  They bonded to this race through empathic means, becoming essentially a symbiotic creature similar to the CueCappa.  Their lifespan increased as did their power.  They now ride these once peaceful beasts to conquer the stars.
