Darrian Synopsis

Darrians are a minor Human race, native to Darrian (Spinward Marches 0627).

Darrian Physiology

Darrians are Humans who have developed independently on Darrian. Some Solomani blood is evident as Solomani traders encountered Darrian in -1511 and provided them with sufficient technology to explore the subsector.

Physiologically, Darrians sport a number of adaptations resulting from their homeworld's environment. However most are not apparent at a glance. The noticeable differences lie in their golden pigmentation, slight build, and pointed ears. Their biology remains closely enough linked to allow interbreeding with the Solomani. Ethnic Darrians usually display a stoic, tolerant air.

Their homeworld is Darrian (Spinward Marches 0627).

Darrian History

Darrian Society & Culture

The Darrians have a very tolerant society with inhabitants from many different cultures, who practice many different philosophies and religions (belief systems). Confederation inhabitants are known for their focus in scholastic and technological activities.

One of the primary Darrian values is a strong belief in curiosity and the scientific method. Pursuant to this value, Darrians have formed many different academic institutions, and it is a rare Darrian urban area that isn't a university town. Even some very rural areas maintain significant institutions of learning.
