Sylvans grew out of the mountain valleys of their home planet, Esylavana, where basic resources like food and fresh water were scarce. This led to the formation of communities around resources, and the tribal skirmishes over them. Thus, a strong martial tradition erupted from the contsant wars that spammed the planet, fighting for what meager resources there were. Population controls became a staple of Sylvan society since the advent of its history, complementing natural biology.

The species as a whole saw technology as the solution to its limited resources - and as world governments geared their economies around technology and the discovery thereof, nearly two hundred years of progress followed. In 2002, however, the Sylvans engaged in what came to be known as the "Endwar" where two of the largest nation-states engaged eachother with nuclear weapons.

The conflict left nearly a fourth of the world's population dead, with roughly three fourths to follow from the resulting cataclysmic climate changes that rocked the planet. However, enduring as always, the species survived, coming together as the Central Emergency Federation, uniting the world's nations in an continuation of government to preserve the survival of the species. Strict rationing, the suspension of political rights, and strict authoritarianism followed.

While the C.E.F led the Sylvan species out of the dire straights of near-extinction, the suspension of political rights and crushing of civil opposition led to a general insurrection in 2067. In what followed, the rebels overthrew the C.E.F. and installed a new, egalitarian government, known as the Coalition of States - or just, Coalition State.

While keeping the ideals of technocratic advancement its fore-bearers had strived upon, the Coalition pursued perfect communal equality and equal distribution of resources, while keeping political rights sacrosanct. In 2097, the Zurviost-Cernaya Fission Hyperdrive was developed, and the Sylvans reached out to the stars.

Biology

Sylvans (silva domus) are the only extant members of the subtribe Silvas. A terrestrial animal, Sylvans are characterized by their quadpedal locomotion. Though largely akin to humans in this regard, Sylvans have many unique characteristics that diversify them from their mammalian or humanoid counterparts. Sylvans posses a heavy fur coat, large ears (or rather, ears with large tympanic cavities) and frontal noses which make them easily distinguishable. Unlike many mammalian creatures, Sylvans possess ambidexitery in all four limb appendages.
