Physiology of inhabitants:
The Prime evolved from a bird race, this avian heritage has lead to inverted knees and the feathers have evolved into a hard chitin exo-skeleton. However due to the higher gravity the Prime have evolved to be incredibly strong and have got a extremely high peak fitness. Every member of the planet is subject to gene modification meaning everyone is the best the species has to offer. As stated before there are large deposits of uranium and element zero the uranium granted a unique radiation resistance. The prime have implants, which are placed in the skull, which allow certain gifted individuals the ability to harness the power of element zero into force like abilities known as biotics. Primes live very long lives (2000), by the age of 100 they are considered teenagers, by 500 young adults. They are only called "old" when they are reaching near to 1500 years.

Military: As the Prime are a militaristic race, their military is huge the last count released to the public was 20bn but many suspect it is larger. They have a strict honour code but are not afraid to do what needs to be done to win. There technology for war is highly advanced as all their R&D is focused on the forwarding of the Prime empire. Biotics are respected members of the race and are usually found in leadership roles. The Prime are masters of subterfuge and have highly trained black-ops units. The rest is classified. units don't break, Even if their entire line collapses, they fall back in order, setting ambushes as they go. A popular saying holds: "You will only see a Prime's back once he's dead."
Boot camp begins on the 20th birthday. Soldiers receive 10 years of training before being assigned to a ship; officers train for even longer. Most serve until the age of 800-900 years, at which most are trusted advisers or politicians for the prime race and other races across the stars. Even if they suffer injuries preventing front-line service, most do support work behind the lines. The Primes also have the largest fleet which is run by the admirals commanded by Vius. It consists of 9 Dreadnaughts (the largest warships in Alpha Centauri system. 16 carriers, 20 Capital ships and destroyers and frigates and fighters that number in the 10,000s; and a little secret ship still in development.... The merchant fleet is a lot smaller consisting only of frigates, they are usually protected by a few destroyers from the main fleet.

Economy: The prime economy consists of extensive mining operations across many worlds. They have created entire planets whose sole focus are on manufacturing and distribution. This has led to a very stable economy as raw materials and manufactured goods are always needed throughout the galaxy. The military is supported by a well-developed infrastructure. Manufacturers such as Armax Arsenal and the Haliat Armory produce advanced, reliable equipment.
Technology: The Prime are highly advanced species they pride themselves on their technological achievements. Only Jake's inter dimension traveling beats the prime on tech. The prevalence of element zero has led to extremely effective space travel and unique weapon technology. The Prime have control of man made fortress worlds which are used for controlling sectors of their space and manufacturing for the empire.
Politics: The Prime politics and everyday life are extremely strict. the government is Lead by one ruler advised by many consorts, this is currently Vius the youngest ever reader. However that all said this system has only failed for the prime once and it was sorted by an age old tradition of mortal combat through biotic strength alone. Prime enjoy broad freedoms. So long as one completes their duties, and does not prevent others from completing theirs, nothing is forbidden. For example, there are no laws against recreational drug use, but if someone is unable to complete their duties due to drug use, their superiors step in. Judicial proceedings are strict, while the primes enjoy many freedoms, dereliction of duty and failure is not acceptable. Primes have no qualms about sentencing dangerous individuals to life at hard labour for the state or death by hanging.
The Primal imperial anthem is called "Die for the Cause."
