[[Category:Races]][[Category:Expressions]][[Category:Coraab]][[Category:C'Ora]][[Category:Tal]] The '''Unliving''' are summarily referred to as ''lopta'' in the language ''[[Coraabish]]''. The word ''popthara'' then synonymizes the "Unliving brood", the entire race with all its tribes and subtribes. In the language ''[[Zomb'Skaraa]]'', an Unliving is called ''tothar''. =History= These days, [[Coraab]] is probably the only world in [[Coraabia]] inhabited by "indigenous" [[Unliving tribes]]. Earlier presence of the Unliving was repeatedly proved on other worlds as well (e.g. [[BaMal]], [[Khnu]], [[Ertu]], [[Bolga]]) but that heritage remains solely in the realm of historical fragments and fleeting memories. ==First traces== [[File:Untethan_by_Tariq_Raheem.jpg |thumb|400 px|right|alt=A |The mighty '''[[Untethan]]''' - one of the mythical Unliving leaders from ancient times. <br /> ([[:Category:Coraabia Artists|Coraabia Artist]]: '''[[Tariq Raheem]]''')]] The Unliving arrived on [[Coraab]] along with the [[Dumpers]] around [[Timeline|-36,000 Tu]]. Many traditionalistic [[min-log]]s claim that the [[Unliving tribes]] were created in times immemorial by the omnipotent [[Nu'Beings]] who viewed them as their perfect offspring. Nevertheless, it has already been scientifically proven that the Unliving flew on [[Coraab]] aboard the gigantic [[Dumpers|Dumpers']] ships. Most probably, the Unliving were obsolete or faulty servants of the [[Haze cultures]] that were for some reason deported to the central regions of [[Coraabia]] along with other kinds of waste. The Unliving then spent long millenia adapting to the harsh climate of [[Coraab]] and gradually claimed power over the planet. First concentrated settlements were founded on the banks of the radioactive [[Lake Wat-Pagae]] already around [[Timeline|-20,000 Tu]]. These individualistic societies eventually transformed into ancient civilizations, the so-called ''[[Unliving states]]''. The first major proven [[Unliving states|Unliving state]] was the ''[[Empire of the Circle]]'' born by uniting several [[Ilokaj]]ish settlements together in [[Timeline|-3450 Tu]]. The [[Unliving states]] were at the peak of their power between [[Timeline|-800 Tu]] - [[Timeline|0 Tu]]. In the end, the [[Unliving states]] vanished one after another, with the city-state [[Min'Ora]] left as the most important one still standing today. The Unliving tried to build a developed and proud civilization for centuries but a single event forever changed the course of [[Coraab]]ian history. ==The Arrival of [[Miners]]== [[Timeline|0 Tu]] – ''This [[Tu]] was the most significant turning point in the modern history of [[Coraab]], linked with the arrival of a civilization later known only as the [[Miners]]. It was not entirely clear where these living humanoids came from, but it went without saying they possessed technologies far beyond anything the local Unliving could even dream of; this imbalance could have been one of the causes of the first conflicts. [[Miners]] were systematically harassed by the Unliving in the north of the planet, which induced their hostile reaction. After hydrogen bombs obliterated several [[Unliving states]], both parties reached a mutual, albeit fragile agreement. The [[Miners]] did not travel the staggering interstellar distance in their giant cargo [[magrav]]s without a reason – they were fascinated by the [[Dump]], the ancient planetary superstructure stretching beneath the thin layer of [[Coraab|Coraab's]] soil, for it contained an astonishing amount of precious metals and substances which apparently seemed useless to the old [[Haze cultures]]. However, it represented a source of immeasurable wealth for the [[Miners]]: platinum or [[tri-buroten]] from the ancient spaceship [[interware]], loads of defective synthetic diamonds, uranium from dormant reactors, the [[T'ung matter]] - all this gave cause for establishing huge mining stations and docks for [[Miners|Miners']] spaceships on [[Coraab]]. In these so-called [[Tal colonies]], the Unliving were used by many [[Miners]] as cheap labor. Plenty of them met their end in dump mines – heaps of rust and corroded alloys collapsing under their own weight, sealed toxic containers infecting large areas upon accidental damage – all this cost hundreds of thousands of workers their unlives. After thousands of years, the [[Dump]] once again opened its insides on many places and sowed death...'' The arrival of [[Miners]] had a truly devastating impact on the [[Unliving tribes]]. It is estimated that as much as 155,000,000 Unliving workers died during their forced labor in the [[Tal colonies]]. The casualties among individual ethnicities were enormous. [[Dung]]s, [[Ilokaj]]i, and certain subspecies of [[vatters]] were affected the most. After the abolishment of [[Tal colonies]], a significant part of the Unliving moved to the newly built [[centropolis]] [[C'Ora]]. There they still had to face intolerance and discrimination from the [[Miners]]. The situation finally got better thanks to the ''We'Rahhta Pathae'', [[The Great Coraabian Declaration]] issued in [[Timeline|3491 Tu]] that finally equalized the rights and status of living and Unliving. ==Present== [[File:Nezivi_by_PumpkinPie.jpg |thumb|left|250 px|alt=A | The legendary [[Zomb]] of the [[Gwah]] branch, known under the alias ''[[Dolwe]]''. It is still unclear whether [[Dolwe]] was not inadvertedly confused with [[Radiocarbon]] himself in the ancient [[sub-log]]s.<br />([[:Category:Coraabia Artists|Coraabia Artist]]: '''[[PumpkinPie]]''')]] [[Timeline|4223 Tu]] - ''The Great Coraabian Stem Cell Genebank ([[G.C.S.C.G.]]) is founded. By gathering high-grade Unliving genome, traditionalists want to maintain the "quality of the race" on the current level since the newest studies of scientists from [[Orbital University]] show that the genome has been dramatically deteriorating in the last few centuries.'' The continuing degeneration of the Unliving genome (cor. ''anree'') is probably the most serious problem the [[Unliving tribes]] have to face on today's [[Coraab]]. With each passing generation, the amount of genetic diseases and disorders grows and more and more [[lachto]]s, [[yello]]s, and other hideously deformed creatures crawl from the [[Reproducing vats|vats]]. Another existential danger is the thinning out of [[Zomb]]ic ranks. In [[Timeline|4249 Tu]], the last [[Zomb]]s finally left [[C'Ora]] and returned to the cradle of the culture - the ancient [[Min'Ora]]. The problem is in their inability to reproduce - their numbers have been firmly set at the beginning of the history of [[Coraab]]. The dark side of most Unliving nations is their total isolation from the rest of the world and sometimes fanatical xenophobia they demonstrate against visitors arriving on [[Coraab]] from all corners of civilized [[multiverse]]. As the Unliving are a highly maladaptive ethnicity, the rest of the [[Coraab]]ian society does not want to have anything to do with them so they have to solve they problems among themselves. The numbers of the Unliving on [[Coraab]] are constantly decreasing. The most sceptical predictions assume they will die out by the end of this millenium. =Physiology= The Unliving are sentient beings that do not require air, water, or food for their continuing existence. In the vast majority of cases, the Unliving resemble their living counterparts, they often have two pairs of limbs and a face with basic characteristics like eyes, nose, mouth, and teeth. This has been a long-standing question among experts - why were they equipped with organs they do not need? The scientists now agree their visual similarity to other races was probably an intent on the part of their ancient creators who simply wanted their Unliving servants to resemble themselves (or their other servants). Some tribes (primarily [[Dung]]s, in exceptional cases even [[Ilokaj]]i) do consume food but purely as a ceremonial act - mostly as a form of ritualistic cannibalism or as a manifestation of superiority or power. The Unliving are a very tough race, they easily operate in anaerobic environment, extreme temperatures and pressure, and they are highly resistant to radiation and toxicity. With some minor exceptions, the Unliving reproduce asexually. The [[Ilokaj]]i use [[recycling pouch]]es (cor. ''ilokho''), the [[vatters]] have been crawling out of [[reproduction vats]] (cor. ''umkha'') for millenia. [[Zomb]]s do not reproduce at all. The term ''Unlife'' is often misinterpreted by members of other races at first. Many think it means resurrected dead bodies or mindless machines. Nothing could be farther from truth. The distinctive feature of this ethnicity is their unliving genome. It carries signs of a sophisticated bioengineering manipulation and it a highly complex genetic structure that grants Unliving their many extraordinary powers. Experts claim the Unliving are the ultimate stage in the design of bio-robots as their bodies are void of any mechanical components. It has been long established the Unliving are artificially created beings. The Unliving have their of kind of "cycle" (cor. ''[[uatta]]''). It's progress varies dramatically across the individual [[Unliving tribes]]. It is also the reasoned why they can "die", basically terminate all their unliving functions. The reason for this might be mechanical damage or developed genetic degeneration that prevents proper functioning of the central nervous system. The end of an unlife is referred to in ''[[Coraabish]]'' as ''rooa'' (zomb. ''reei''). =[[Unliving tribes]]= [[File:Osteodon_by_Scott_Altmann.jpg|thumb|right|alt=A |'''[[Osteodon]]''' - an extinct hybrid of the Unliving and [[Du'Bael]]s. <br /> ([[:Category:Coraabia Artists|Coraabia Artist]]: '''[[Scott Altmann]]''')]] The Unliving are divided into several main [[Unliving tribes]] (cor. ''lopthakarr''). Those have a complex hierarchy between themselves. '''Higher [[Unliving tribes]]s''' * '''[[Ilokaj]]''' * '''[[Zomb]]''' * [[Kavokh]] '''Lesser [[Unliving tribes]] - so-called ''[[vatter]]s''''' (cor. ''Bumtha'') * '''[[Dung]]''' * [[Joobo]] * [[Hypomor]] * [[Lasturo]] * [[Yello]] * [[Festerr]] * [[Lepront]] * [[Lachto]] * [[Frenetic]] * [[Latent]] * [[Corostenno]] * [[Hanth]] * [[Ruuga]] * [[Polyhag]] * [[Brinee]] * [[Bzang]] * [[Chon]] '''Extinct [[Unliving tribes]]''' * [[Paga]] * [[Atomo]] * [[Wigit]] * [[Osteodon]] * [[Zombo]] * [[Culturo]] * some [[Dung]] subtribes ([[Unh]], [[Bogg]]) '''Mythical [[Unliving tribes]]''' * [[Nu'Zomb]] =Trivia= [[File:Coraabopedia_the_Unliving_by_Manuel_Augusto_Dischinger_Moura.jpg |thumb|none|350 px|alt=A |The idea of a union between an Unliving and a [[xalien]] is the worst nightmare of many traditionalists.<br /> ([[:Category:Coraabia Artists|Coraabia Artist]]: '''[[Manuel Augusto Dischinger Moura]]''')]] [[File:Coraabopedia_the_Unliving_by_Doug_Williams.jpg |thumb|none|350 px|alt=A |An Unliving [[vatter]] is spawned in a [[reproduction vat]].
