Zapickans are tall sapient human subspecies that live on [[RTzapicky]]. They are very similar to humans but they average a height of 10 feet, and they usually live 230 years or more. Zapickans have a old culture, and they are known for their [[Musastle|musastles]], which are castles combined with museums. There are millions of musastles on RTzapicky, but many of them have been abandoned as their owners die off. Zapickans only let “elders” own musastles, and to become an elder you have to come before the five honored elders, who will look at your good deeds. These elders are the “leaders” of the planet, but they don’t ever command anyone to do anything, and they don’t command a military. 

In the zapickans culture, any elder who owns a musastle is given authority over a village, which typically has a bunch of log cabins. In these villages, there are sometimes a group of militiamen who protect the whole village. These militiamen have long rifles, and sometimes have swords strapped to their waist. Since zapickans advanced slower than most other species, they still haven’t made any cars or gas powered vehicles, they do have boats, which are powered by hand paddles. Even though they aren’t advanced, many people have still visited the planet, and some have even built homes there. All elders have a special title, for example “Cogito the Brave” they usually get this title in relation to whatever good deed you did to become an elder. So someone who gave a lot of his food away would gain the title “benevolent” or “generous”. 

Because there are so little militiamen guarding towns, many raiders come and steal things from them. These raiders usually live deep in the forests where nobody dares to go.
