Vanaarans Homeworld The Vanaaran people are native to the M class moon Vanaarus which orbits closely to a large gas giant in a sytem with twelve planets Other Worlds Ocenacia, an ocean world where the Vanaaran science ministry has moved it's headquarters and here they have built the Ocenacia subaquatic shipyards where Vanaaran exploration craft are built Mustarn, a stark harsh world home to the Vanaaran military, here are located the military training facilities as well as strategic command and the subspace relay nexus. In orbit is the military ship contruction and repair yard. Tanlarith, This jungle world is where Vanaran military servicemen go when they have retired from active service as military personnel are forbidden to set foot on the homeworld save the two military elders. They have any number of outposts scatted about the sector and a little beyond. Technology Their technology level is for the most part comparable to pre enterprise earth starfleet. Culture & outlook They are a peaceful spiritual people with a deep conection to nature with a philosophyo f cherishing life and living at peace with their world disturbing the natural order as little as possible The one acception is their fleet service which is staffed by a kind of draft. Draftees are chosen when they are very young and grow up being trained to be soldiers, and have almost no interaction with normal Vanaaran civilization. This was started long ago due to their pacifistic nature that no one wanted to fight and the governemtn had to have a fighting force to defend their world from would be agressors. Thos who serve in the military are forbidden to procreate unless autorized by the highest echelons of the military. Physical appearance They are taller than humans though generally slighter of build they range from low six foot to mid seven foot range. Their scin ranges from dark blue to indigo to black with silver or white hair which follows a mane like pattern dwon to their upper backs. Their eyes are green or yellow and somewhat large in appearance. They lack noses having instead gill slits on their necks. Certain parts of their bodies have a scaley textture natable outer arms and legs. Vanaaran's do not sleep on beds as do most humanoid species they prefer to recuperate in a fluidic bath, these are usually infused with regenerative flids which are often used to treat minor injuries. Mark Hunter (Exobiologist) coments that Vanaaran physiology has many base similarities to a type of Denobulan Amphibean. Racial Abilities Able to see with little or no light able to breath air or water Unableto cope well with low oxygen environments Government Vannaran society is ruled by a trilateral cgovernemnt The largest and lowest brange is the grand assembly which is basically all of norvakan society andyone can come to one of the great assembly halls and take part in political discussion debate and vote on culture wide issues. The next level up is the Senate or Conclave of representatives, this branch handles much of the day to day work of drafting proposals and aproving or overrulling decisions of the other branches. The Council of Eldars is the highest branch and is often tasked with hancling issues that need immedite attention or for settling disputes by the lower branches. The council consists of 9 eldears five are drawn from normal Vanaaran society two are drawn from the science ministry and 2 are drawn from the military. The high elder is always chosen from normal Vanaarans non military or science divisions. |

Norvan Homeworld It is unclear whether the current Norvan homeworld is the one they originated on or not. It is a harsh desert world scattered with ruins of ancient and powerful civilization. Most Norvan settlements are underground as the surface is baked by two suns most of the time. Technology True Norvan technology is fairly primitive, no warp capability, no subspace technology of any kind, no transporters. Weapons consist of chemically propelled missiles. Ships are defended with polarized hull plating. Through study of the ancient ruins on their world they have begun to use the following technologies. Ultra light materials for construction comparable to starfleet, as well as transparent aluminum. A soloton base Engine allowing them interstellar travel subspace weapons others to be determined... Culture & outlook Until recent times the Norvan culture was based around a war like clan structure. Within the last century the Norvans have unified under an ruler which would roughly tranlsate to a Khan. Physical appearance Norvans appear similar to humans of about the same hight. In leiu of hair they have bony protrusions which come in a myriad of patterns over their skulls usually in spikes and points. Their skin is a burnt golden color and their eyes range from green to red. Tatoos are symbols of status for Norvans the more battles he wins the more honor he wins for his clan the more tatoos he is likely to have. Racial Abilities Extreme endurance to heat Government Norvan society is ruled as it alwaysh asbeen by a feudal system of clans, however in recent times all the feudal lords pay homage to the grand overlord who is lord of all Norvakan society. He is supported by various lords and landed vassals who function like generals and governers of various parts of the planet. One lord might preside over a city or ancient stronghold while a lesser one might lord over a type of outpost and afew hunting shelters. Ecch lord from smallest to the most influential has his own army who are pledged to the greater service of thegrand overlord. Each lord provides crew for starships and scientists to study ancient ruins for more technology the norvakan war machine can use. |
