Vendorian: Difference between revisions

Psychologists theorize that the harsh reality of daily life on their home world would translate to a mentality that encourages personal survival over more altruistic motives. Limited social interaction, as evidenced by scans taken to this point, would suggest a mentality that does not trust easily outside of their own group. There is anecdotal evidence with respect to limited contact with individual Vendorians on two separate occasions; in both cases, the individuals in question proved to be deceitful, capable of subterfuge and betrayal. Both individuals were concerned with their own survival and appeared to lack understanding of the concept of working for a 'greater good'.  

Scans from space have revealed no statures, monoliths or other artistic endeavours. Requests for surface facilities that would allow this species to be observed and data collected that might prove the existence of cultural interests and activities has so far been denied. Considering their environment and obvious intelligence most scientists believe that only close contact or observation will result in useful data.
