The Galasu of Gzaedhkirrg are a non-humanoid Minor Race native to Gzaekfueg Sector.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The Galasu display powerful psionic abilities.

General Physiology[edit]

Galasu are oxygen utilizers, but absorb it from their environment rather than the atmosphere.

General Psychology[edit]

Galasu 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).

Native Culture[edit]

  • Heterogenity: 4 (harmonious)
  • Acceptance: 9 (friendly)
  • Strangeness: 3 (somewhat typical)
  • Symbols: 1 (extremely concrete)

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Galasu homeworld lies on the trailing edge of the Windhorn Rift. It is a non-aligned world.

Demographics[edit]

The total known population equals 90 million individuals.

Urbanization[edit]

No information yet available.

Astrography[edit]

This race is primarily located in the following areas:
Charted Space - Vargr Extents:

Homeworld[edit]

The homeworld of this race is:

Local Technology[edit]

Gzaedhkirrg possesses a Technology Level of TL–0.

  • These worlds often contain a Proto-Sophont species beginning to establish a nascent civilization and society.
  • This world is in its Alpha Period and has not yet been interfered with by a higher technology civilization.
  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Bodily communicative apparati, courier-runners, and smoke signals.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Bodily muscle.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Bodily locomotion, riding beasts, and litters or sedan chairs.
    • Water: Swimming, rafts, and canoes.
    • Air: Typically not available unless a bodily ability.

Local Government[edit]

Gzaedhkirrg is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to draft the policies voted upon. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by the voting population.

World Military[edit]

No information yet available.

Local Law[edit]

Gzaedhkirrg has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.

World Listing[edit]

Significant communities of this race are known to dwell within the following systems and worlds:
