THE FOUR RACES OF GURHAL
The Gurhal System is home to four races.
Each race was originally born of humans.
The Gurhal System's long history is filled with bitter struggles between the races.
To end the 500-year war, although humans are the most prominent race, they consented to being placed in the lowest social position. One hundred years have passed since the Tripartite Treaty was signed. At a glance, the Gurhal System appears to be at peace, but throughout the system there is racial prejudice and flames of war still smolder.
CASTs
Artificial lifeforms with free will: CASTs
Originally created by humans for labor, artificially created life forms, CASTs, currently rule the planet Parum. Because their spiritual abilities are less than that of the other species, they are unskilled with TECHNICs, but they excel with guns due to their precise mechanical abilities. They also have the ability to wield huge weapons called "SUV weapons." They primarily live on Parum.

Historical background
|
CASTs were originally created by humans as laborers, but problems arose when sentient CASTs began demanding rights. As a result of their war for independence, a system of CAST supremacy over humans was established.
After the CAST supremacy was established, Parum welcomed a period of overwhelming peace, unheard of in the days when the lands were divided by human-controlled governments. Ironically, the "dangers of machine rule" that were touted by human politicians during the war never manifested, and the reality is that the social system was welcomed by the majority of the public who wished only for peace.
They are machines, and hence rationalists. Their strong point is in management, but because of their inflexibility, they are disinterested in the subtleties of human emotion.
