you mean like "post-nuclear holocaust" sorta thing? the guys who got stuck on the surface or only hid in caves and sufferred severe disfigurement through the generations thanks to the radiation and hate the normal humans who were able to escape the planet or hide under the surface because they have life so good and offerred them no protection... the outsiders, the survivors, or the Under race. These people are treated as 'less-than-human' by the Humans, although the Humans simply choose to ignore their existance, disgusted.
This 'race' suffers a higher rate of cancer and other radiation related diseases. They also suffer a severe amount of disfigurement throughout the generations. The type of disfigurements vary incredibly, ranging from missing legs to extra fingers to siamese twins to missing organs (eg only 1 lung or half a kidney). This in itself means that there is a high rate of still born or infant death due to lack of growth. This figure may well be upward of 50%, but figures are hazy due to the lack of organised or publicized records or health systems, and the fact that it is simply accepted as a fact of life.
At first the race hid in caves and tunnels beneath the surface, or in abandoned or disused subways and sewers under the cities. From here the Underrace would launch terrorist attacks, occasionally managing to take out a seior public offical or two. However they lacked the ability to produce any large organised military or government due to their need to remain in hiding. At this time the Underrace existed in tribes, with 'soft' alleigences between eachother. They existed this way for a hundred years or so until in 2257 a plan was formed to forge a life for themselves away from the rotting sewers and crumbling mine shafts. A 30yo Underrecian called Andlo Kallegston organised a meeting between 48 major european and african tribes. He presented to them a plan to capture a number of large cargo vessels which would be landing in Paris later that year. The tribes built up a stockpile of weapons and supplies and loaded these and themselves into cargo containers. With the help of Human sympathists they managed to switch these with the cargo that was SUPPOSED to be loaded onto the cargo ships. Once the seven cargo ships were in orbit, the Underrecians burst from the containers, fully armed, and took possession to the ships, murdering all humans on board. With these ships they escaped the Solar system and discovered another planet on which they could establish themselves, free from persecution. These Underecians became known as the People of the Seven, who established a government consisting of representitives from the 48 tribes as well as a preesidential chancellor and two vice chancellors, elected by a majority vote of the representatives.
Over the next 50 years the People of the Seven launched several missions to Earth to rescue remaining Underecians. However, as time passed, the People of the Seven became more concerned with the civilization they had established and Underecians on Earth became less of a priority. The rescue missions became less and less until they were topped altogether. The Underecians of Earth are now known as The People of the Dust. There is now very little communication between the two peoples, usually only when necessary. They consider themselves different peoples today, although an unspoken alleigence exists that means that the two civilizations would be more than willing to combine forces if it meant the obliteration of the Human race.
Due to a lack of infrastructure, the People of the Seven were forced to scavenge parts and machinery from wherever they could. Usually this meant attacking supply convoys and small pirate bands and stealing what they could. For this reason, most of their technology is made up of antiquated equipment or patchwork combinations of ships. For this reason each Ship of the Seven is different. In addition to this, almost every cockpit of the seven is different, due to both the combinations of equipment used to build them, but more importantly the variance of forms within the race. For example some cockpits are built for Underecians without legs or arms, others are built for Underecians with extra fingers. The upside to using a hodg-podge of parts for these ships is that although they can be somewhat unreliable they are extremely easy to repair.
After a period of 50 years of scavenging, building, and thinking, the People of the Seven have begun large scale organised terrorist attacks upon humans. They also seek to establish under-the-table relations with non-humans such as the rlaan, which has been a tense issue at confederacy-rlaan peace talks. While the People of the Seven mobilize to make life difficult for the humans in major space operations, the People of the Dust continue their century-old terrorist attacks upon Earth, with reports that these Underecians have begun to develop more as a community and have begun to secretly infiltrate extra-terrestial operations with evidence of small Dust factions found in 3 other systems.
How does that sound guys?
Besides, it looks nicer red =D
