The Mauvs are a large humanoid species which developed an industrial civilisation that ended in a nuclear war. The survivors were rescued by the Hurrians who had bee nmonitoring them. They
helped them rebuild their world, instituting a eugenics selection
program to make the Mauvian species more docile. The Mauv were unable to pay for the Hurrians' service as their world had been rendered
resourceless by the war and the whole species, forced to pay in servitude, rather than
material goods, became slaves to the Hurrians.
The Mauvs have thinly-haired bodies, coarse-featured faces,
broad noses and flat cheekbones. There appearance contrasts with
their submissive nature, as they never question authority, and
never disobey orders from the Hurrians.
