Editing Lizardperson (section)

=History=
Echoes of Humanity's dark distant past and their treatment of alien species remain well entrenched in modern day Human society. All alien species, including Lizardmen, have always been treated as second class citizens in Human society.

In 2550 Nanotrasen made history with the creation, and signing, of the Species Equality Act which paved the way for Lizardmen to be hired into low level jobs on-board Nanotrasen space stations, typically janitorial positions, as well as being the first corporation in existence to sign such a act. However in 2554 a amendment to the Species Equality Act, known as article 66, authorized the promotion and hiring of Lizardmen into most available station based roles.

This proved to be a significantly controversial amendment that was met with great disapproval, undeterred the change was pushed through by Nanotrasen. However the threat of the United Earth Government terminating Nanotrasen's top secret plasma mining contract forced the addition of article 67 which barred Lizardmen from assuming a command level role outside of extreme circumstances. Nanotrasen was quick to use their new Lizardmen employees to shore up gaps in their workforce. 

The top secret Space Station 13 was no exception.

'''Even More Lore'''

This is a record of the history of the major space lizard clans, who have existed for millenia alongside humanity in this universe but have only encountered each other for the last hundred years. While human history records are very accessible and common in human civilizations, the same cannot be said for the history of the lizard race. This book will make lizard history more accessible to those interested.

While lizard civilization varies greatly, a substantial part of lizard life was made up of the great lizard clans. Such clans were the equivalent of human dynasties and ruled worlds, solar systems, even entire galactic subsectors. The largest clans were the Warnow, E'play, and Knoises clans. All three clans still exist and command considerable influence over the Kalixcis Sector, even in the age of human megacorporations superceding most traditional forms of human government or rule. 

Indeed, sovereignty from the power of a megacorporation is a rare characteristic. Although the lizard clans are on cordial trading terms with most human corporations, the continued refusal and defiance on part of the lizard clans stem from the popular belief that this is a 'race war'. The unspoken sentiment amongst corporation executives on the great lizard clans is that they are an obstacle to profit- the lizard clans see their survival as the only guarantee against slavery.

In any case, the survival of the three great lizard clans to this day is a feat in itself. Although they consider each other allies in the face of human corporations, the three clans had only ceased outright hostilities only in 2124, a full century after their first contact with the human race. Like the human race, the lizard race under the great clans would engage in perpetual warfare in some form or another. The great clans warred with each other often. Local civil wars between minor clans, proxy wars waged between competing clans, all the way up to large-scale sector wide conflict, were all carried out to benefit one of the great clans.
