The Dvar's history with heavy industrial machinery has led to the development massive war machines, making them an ideal choice for a more warlike approach to the game. Their Prospector scouts are equipped with tool that allow them to gather resources from the wilderness as they explore, sacrificing exploration for more profits. They specialize in rapidly producing infrastructure and armies, and making the most of their environment. The Dvar value industriousness and efficiency above all other virtues, and their gameplay style reflects that. They live for the competition with the other Consortia and work hard to further their Consortium’s wealth and standing. Although the cynical, hard-working drinking Dvar regards the rich with distrust, their sense of company community is strong. The Consortiums are led by an upper class Oligarchy of the richest families. The Dvar are organized in Consortiums, where each Dvar is a partner in securing their group’s survival and wealth. This environment made the Dvars to evolve as a bunker dwelling species and see nature as something that needs to be distrusted and looted as soon as a window of opportunity arises. To make matters worse, their world passes through an asteroid belt, causing a yearly bombardment of giant rocks. Visitors to their home world will support that claim, as after the collapse the Dvar’ were marooned on a barely habitable planet with an elliptical orbit, causing it to be scorched during short blazing summers and then frozen by eternal winters. Dvar pride themselves as being the hardest of survivors. The Dvar originate from mining consortia sent out to strip worlds of their natural resources.
