Albino human race native to Halka/Menorial (Trojan Reaches 0510). The Halkans are not true albinos, and their adaptations seem to be the result of natural adaptation to their bright M9III star rather than deliberate engineering by the Ancients. As a people they were peaceful, a preferred a pastoral existence.
The Florians contacted the world in 211, and quickly subjugated the inhabitants. The original Barnai rulers took the simple lifestyle of their new subjects as a sign of inferiority, and employed them as slave labor. This practice continued for some time after the world was absorbed into the Florian League, and only ended after a public outcry in the 900s. Emancipation landed most Halkans into destitution, and most remained as tenant farmers for their former landlords.
