The Alejia of Marinagua (Theta Borealis 1517) are a technologically competent Minor Non-Human Race with a Non-humanoid appearance.

Description (Specifications)

The Alejia are flexible, long necked, long-limbed, and are described as never still or constantly moving.

Psychology

The Alejia exhibit recognized characteristics of intelligence:

• Conceptual thought, including abstract language.
• Social structure, including social organization.
• Tool use, allowing environmental manipulation.

Alejia psychology is driven by factors common to many sophonts:

• Acquisition (stemming from the need to gather adequate nutrition),
• Preservation (derived from the need to continue their personal existence), and
• Perpetuation (the urge to continue the species).

History & Background (Dossier)

Suspicious of each other and actively hostile to outsiders, Alejja usually hide rather than fight if they don't have a 2-to-1 advantage. They are hoarders, with excellent memories for the hundreds of places they choose to hide their treasures. Cache-invasion, no matter how inadvertent, results in violence. As of 1105, their society is in the grip of an apparent breakdown, with most areas outside fortified strongholds now essentially lawless.
