The Alejia of Marinagua (Theta Borealis 1517) are a technologically competent Minor Non-Human Race with a Non-humanoid appearance.
Description (Specifications)
The Alejia are flexible, long necked, long-limbed, and are described as never still or constantly moving.
Suspicious of each other and actively hostile to outsiders, Alejja usually hide rather than fight if they don't have a 2-to-1 advantage. They are hoarders, with excellent memories for the hundreds of places they choose to hide their treasures. Cache-invasion, no matter how inadvertent, results in violence. As of 1105, their society is in the grip of an apparent breakdown, with most areas outside fortified strongholds now essentially lawless.
Psychology
The Alejia exhibit recognized characteristics of intelligence:
- Conceptual thought, including abstract language.
- Social structure, including social organization.
- Tool use, allowing environmental manipulation.
Alejia 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).
