The Iotrans were a militaristic species hailing from the planet of Iotra in the Outer Rim Territories. Their military history was long and storied, and they originated several famous military orders, including the Kilandrin Royal Forces, the Lurathi Guard, and the Jengardin Millennial Warriors. From an early age, Iotrans were trained for military service, and in their fourteenth season, (approximately 18 standard years of age) they were inducted into the IPF for approximately six standard years. At any given time, nearly half of the population was part of the IPF in one form or another.
