In the late 200s Ediishudir suffered a revolution that put a military dictatorship into power. It restricted access to close orbital positions around the planet as well as access to much of the world’s surface. They failed to provide a good reason for the order and various off-world interests began to doubt their motives. The Scout Regional Headquarters (then located on Kimalad (Dagudashaag 1506)) detached a small research group to perform a covert detailed socio-political examination. The scout team discovered that over one third of the population were physically androgynous: that is, they were neither male nor female. There was no direct evidence of genetic interference by the Government but shortly alter the survey was published a second rebellion led by a cadre of off-worlders overthrew the dictatorship.
It wasn’t until the mid-800s that the cause of the androgyny amongst the population became apparent. It is caused by a regressive gene that has so far only been identified in genetically pure Vilani. The then Government had attempted to restrict access to the world in the mistaken belief that the problem was a disease being spread by contact with offworlders. In fact off-worlders helped solve the problem by adding to the gene pool. Despite this, Ediishudiri are still notoriously (and occasionally hideously) inbred even to this day and are the butt of many distasteful jokes.
