The population are genetically Zhodani but much about origins remains unknown. What is certain is that I'zhrl was first settled thousands of years ago and that contact was subsequently lost. During their long isolation the inhabitants developed their own native culture, retaining very little of their Zhodani heritage. A system of Psionics teaching was maintained, however, that bears remarkable similarities to modern Zhodani psionics.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.
