History and Background

Fathwaas was originally set up as a Bwap colony and is still largely administered by them, as fully 70% of the population are Bwaps. Functioning as an efficient agricultural colony, it supplies food, medicines and soft, lightweight woods that make excellent building material. The bureaucracy of this planet is truly amazing and it is often difficult to get anything done without first observing several dozen rituals. Part of this is due to the general nature of the Bwaps but part of it is also due to Clan Leader Newab-annawap-Onnapas -- a Bwap of very high standing who is considered by all on this planet as the wisest of his age.

Kellerton's Disease originates on Fathwaas. In humans, this disease causes excessive water retention by the skin, making it weak. Bwap and Vargr are immune.

World Government

Abse-eb is governed by a Non-charismatic Dictatorship. A continuation of the charismatic dictatorship, where the original leadership has died or retired and replaced by allies or protégés. The reasons for the change in government remain as well as the assertion of rights to rule.

This world's culture is also overseen by the Grand Council of Crèches, or Atapas-atta-wapawab. Most Imperial authorities view the Atapas-atta-wapawab more as an administrative department within Bwap culture than an actual political entity, and so haven't acted against its influence. Some Imperial political scientists feel that the Grand Council's influence makes Government Code D: Religious Dictatorship more appropriate. Either way, it's a dictatorship with full public support.

World Culture

Bwaps organise themselves into crèches. The crèche is where Bwaps will select a mate, where the eggs will be guarded and tended to, and where the young will be educated by the Satha-a-atta-wapawab (Elders of the Creche). The crèche is also the center of Bwap spirituality, and the focus point of study of the Wapawab (Tree of Life).
