Measurement Notice
All measurements of time, size, and distance in this text are those of the Human civilization on Terra.
Note that some things covered in this guide are from the Star Wars film series. The entire "Technology" section was inspired by some Star Wars book.
The Kalarii Race
The Kalarii are a race of anthromorphic (humanoid) otter-like alien beings from the planet Kalaras. The Kalarii are a resourceful people, which may account for their extreme advances in technology, among other things.
A normal Kalarii stands at about seven feet tall, with a tail about 4 and a half feet long.
Kalarii have larger brains than humans, allowing them to process information quicker, which partially means that they have faster reflexes.
The Kalarii may be seen by some as fearsome warriors (think Mongols, but with laser rifles), but this is far from the truth. Though the Kalarii are a largely militaristic civilization, they prefer to stay at peace with nations unless:
1) the other nation is seen as a threat to the preservation of the Kalarii Federation
2) the other nation has attacked any Kalarii vessel (military, economic, or civilian)
3) there has been a formal declaration of war from the other nation
or
4) the other nation has assisted another nation in making war against the Kalarii Federation, even if the said nation has not actively fought against the Kalarii Federation.
Kalaras
Kalaras is a planet, similar to Terra (Earth), and has a surface that is about 60%-70% water.
The planet is closer to it's sun than Earth, giving it a slightly warmer temperature (Kalarii room temperature is equivalent to 76 degrees Fahrenheit), and giving it a shorter year (Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion 
).
Kalaras is slightly smaller than Earth, and spins faster, with a whole day-night cycle lasting about 21 hours.
Kalaras has two major continents (no names yet), and many large islands. Most landmasses mountain ranges, or isolated volcanic peaks
Kalaras has a slight axial tilt giving it subdued seasons: only a fraction of one of the polar regions is frozen at any given time, it almost never snows south (or north, if you're in the southern hemisphere) of the 70th parallel. Because of this tilt, Kalaras maintains a nearly global tropical climate.

Power armour is the heavy stuff, what the commandos wear. Unfortunately, it cannot be mass-produced enough to be issued to all of the troops. Power armour provides full body coverage, as well as a HUD and integrated equipment. N/CD's go to the troops that wear the armour.
