- While the world suffered under the Solomani Autonomous Region, the culture embraced a pacifist and stoic philosophy.
As a result of the Solomani experience, the Khedishi are highly xenophobic.

- Travellers are also advised that the Khedishi government, although required by Imperial law to give all Imperial citizens the same protection afforded Khedishi citizens, is strangely inefficient at investigating crimes against outsiders.
