Native Sophont: Tapazmal[edit]
Physically, the Tapazmal are little different from the rest of Humaniti. One notable feature is their low birthrate, believed to be a result of geneering by the Ancients. This modification likely served to limit Dlaekan's population in Ancient times, thereby conserving the mountains' scant resources.

Linguistic Topography[edit]
The most commonly heard languages are:

- Dlaekan Languages (many dialects)
Urbanization[edit]
As Dlaekan is an extremely hot world, most settlements are located high in the mountains where temperatures are more bearable. Since Dlaekan also has a high level of tectonic activity, population relocation from a region becoming unsafe is not uncommon.
The Tapazmal are known for their great architectural skill, combining modern technology with traditional styles and motifs, considered artistically pleasing by most Humans.

Dlaekan is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.

Dlaekan has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

In this world's Tapazmal society, individual roles are strictly defined. Individualists defy the old standards at substantial risk. Nonetheless, this is considered a pleasant world, the inhabitants hard-working and at peace.
Historical Data[edit]
Interstellar contact came around -4700, when the Loeskalth began intermittently raiding the Tapazmal for artwork and other valuable objects. These raids continued until the Vilani came to Dlaekan several centuries later. The Tapazmal eagerly accepted Vilani offers of technological aid and protection, at the cost of submerging their native culture in the Vilani Way. Tapazmal civilization grew under Vilani custody, but it never reached beyond Dlaekan. During the Rule of Man, however, cultural records were unearthed and studied, and the Tapazmal tried diligently to return to the ways of their distant ancestors. With Solomani support, they established several colonies in nearby systems.
