Aekul

Aekul are sapient species from the planet Lirias.

Gelgan Retribution
For their hand in the attack on an aekul world, aekulian scientists would develop a genetic virus that would attack the bodies of the gelgan, causing them to deteriorate at an extreme rate. Through covert means, they unleashed this bioweapon upon the gelgan populace across their worlds which would lead them to a dramatic population drop across their empire. With their people reeling from this attack, the gelgan retreated from the galactic eye for generations, only to re-emerge after developing advanced cloning technics.

Society
Much like the rest of the known species in the galaxy, the aekul are accepting of genetic manipulation to improve any biological fault, but going so far to manipulating children within the uterus to create children best suited for specific lines of work (scientist, soldiers, mechanics, etc).
