Phoenix

Phoenix
Homeworld: Welstar
Description: The Phoenix is a mythical bird-like race associated with the
rumored-to-exist sun god Re. According to these legends, the Phoenix lives
in desert terrain, near an oasis. Each morning at dawn, it bathes in the
water and sings such a beautiful song that Re stops his chariot to listen.
Phoenixes are very rare, and are said to be so rare that many believe that
only one phoenix can exist at a time.
When a Phoenix feels its death approaching, (every 1461 years), it builds a
shelter of aromatic wood and sets it on fire, allowing itself to be
consumed by the flames. When it is burned, a new Phoenix springs forth
from the pyre. It then embalms the ashes of its predecessor in an egg of
myrrh and flies with it to the 'City of the Sun' where it deposits the egg
on the altar of the Sun God.
The phoenix symbolizes immortality, resurrection, and life after death. It
is usually depicted as a heron or an eagle with humanoid features.
