The Caldari are a fictional race in the EVE Online MMORPG. They are one of the four playable races in the game. The Caldari State is built on corporate capitalism and is run by a few mega-corporations which divide the state between them, controlling and ruling every aspect of society. While the Caldari State may not be nearly as big as that of the Gallenteans, let alone the Amarr, they are still universally feared and admired. Caldari society is steeped in military tradition. As a people, its members had to fight a long and bloody war to gain their independence, and even had to surrender their home planet to their hated enemies, the Gallenteans.

Caldari Bloodlines:

Deteis

Symbolizing the Caldari in every way, the Deteis are efficient, hard working, and duty filled. The Deteis are commonly found in positions of authority, both in administration and the military, something that suits their temperament well.

Deteis Females tend to be neat and composed with a wry sense of humor and a no non-sense outlook on life.

Deteis Males are generally tall and well groomed with a fair complexion. They strike an imposing chord with their haughty, detached demeanor.

Deteis Ancestries:
Merchandisers

There is nothing the Deteis love more than having total control over all their activities and this holds true for producing items. They want to master every aspect of the process, from mining the materials, the actual production, and finally the dristribution and marketing.

Scientists

The Deteis beautifully combine efficiency with inventiveness, making them superb researchers and scientists. It's the ability of the Deteis to continuousy create hi-tech devices and the combat abilities of the Civire that together make the Caldari State such a formidable force.

Tube Child

Acutely aware of the small population of the Caldari State in comparison with the sprawling Gallente Federation, the Deteis have for decades untilized artificial procreation to increase their population. These tube-children are then raises in inhospitable, State-run orphanages, making them tough and self-reliant.

Civire

Providing the backbone to the Caldari Empire the Civire are cool, levelheaded, and relentless in their approach to either trading or fighting. Civire can handle pressure extremely well, an invaluable aid in combat or other stressful situations. Many of the best bounty hunters are Civire.

Civire Females are not very tall, but lithe and supple. They are ardent and committed workers, never willing to give up.

Civire Males are big-boned and masculine, preferring a clean-shaven chin and closely cropped head.

Civire Ancestries:

Entrepreneurs

Civire are usually not known for their business endeavors, but when they go into business they do it with the same aggressiveness and confidence as when fighting a battle. To them, business is war, and should thus be pursued with the same vigilance and ruthlessness.

Mercs

Civire love the brutality of battle and take every opportunity to engage in one. This is the reason why so many of them sell their services as mercenaries - it promises a constant supply of combat. For many families, a merc career has become mandatory for every member before he can settle down for a quiet family life.

Dissenters

The cold, disciplined Caldari society does not appeal to everyone, nor are eveyrone happy with the stranglehold the mega-corporations have on everyday life. These people are not rebellious, but have for years been trying to actively change the system from within. One of these days the State will want to deal with them once and for all.

Achura

Achura has been part of the State for three centuries and joined and left the Federation at the same time as the State. Yet the Achur have always remained a mystery to others. Intensely spiritual the Achur are as reclusive and introvert as one can be and still partake in galatic affairs.

Female Achur are greatly sought after as teachers and mentors. Their intense interest in the metaphysical world give them great knowledge of everything from quantum physics to the human psyche. More importantly, it gives them the patience and modesty to look beyond their own petty interests, allowing them to truly relate to others.

The Achur male is reserved in deeds and manner and is a master of disguising his own thoughts and emotions. Never rash or impulsive, he likes to meditate on every decision of importance. Compassion is not alien to him, but his tendency to look at the bigger picture makes it easier for him to sacrifice short-term gains for long-term benefits.

Achura Ancestries:

Inventors

Creativity is a prized attribute amongst the Achur, as inventions are considered spiritual rather than strictly scientific in nature. Only those in touch with themselves and the universe can 'tap' into the universal consciousness and return with novel ideas.

Monks

Thousands of monasteries are scattered around Saisio III, operated by dozens of different monastic orders. While each order has its own code of conduct regarding member behaviour, celibacy and other issues, they all agree on one thing; that only by perfecting the body can you perfect the soul.

Stargazers

While the spiritualism execised by the Achur is not an organized religion in any sense, the Achura nation still holds seers and visionaries in high esteem. While the Achur are realistic enough not to attribute them with supernatural prophetic powers, these individuals are still regarded as possessing uncanny understanding of what makes the universe, and humans, tick.
