They lived in harmony with one another, enjoyed spirited debates on the various sciences, areas of study and the discovery of each and every new piece of data. As time passed these debates became more and more popular both as a teaching aid and as a means of digging for the truth. While they often do get very spirited, none have ever resulted in violence. | ||

This has created a market for just about everything they build and boosted both their economic power and their reputation in this region of space. | ||
Eventually they developed the technology to study space and learned they were not alone. This sparked a frenzy of new study and technological breakthroughs that got them into space in less than 8 years.

This sparked a frenzy of new study and technological breakthroughs that got them into space in less than 8 years. They also learned that space could be very dangerous; they needed ships and weapons to protect them from other species. | ||
Fortunately for them they were able to develop and build a small but effective fleet before the [[Valcarian]] and [[Caraadian]] empires even knew they existed. They also met and became members of a union of species dedicated to their mutual support and freedom. This has enabled them to grow and maintain their independence. | Fortunately for them they were able to develop and build a small but effective fleet before the [[Valcarian]] and [[Caraadian]] empires even knew they existed.

Every community on their homeworld and colonies are always laid out in logical, precise patterns that ensure that everyone has access to medical, recreational, educational and utilities facilities and services. In the center of every community is their central library and the capitol city has the largest such library in the Expanse. All of their communities are extremely clean but also very bland. No effort has been put into making anything interesting, simply efficient and practical. | Every community on their homeworld and colonies are always laid out in logical, precise patterns that ensure that everyone has access to medical, recreational, educational and utilities facilities and services.

Crime is almost unheard of as is poverty and everyone has access to all services, opportunities and chances for advancement. On the whole they are a happy people, eager for new knowledge and experiences that will result in new knowledge. | Crime is almost unheard of as is poverty and everyone has access to all services, opportunities and chances for advancement.

Any time a group of experts get together to discuss or argue any aspect of any field of knowledge it turns into a massive public spectator’s event. Crowds will watch as it is televised, or sit eagerly in the stands of massive halls and take notes, arguing and discussing every aspect of the debate with anyone and everyone around them. | ||

While they never needed any military forces on their own world for use among their own people they are intelligent enough that once they acquired the technology that allowed them to communicate and listen to sub-space messages they realized that they would need one if they were going to be able to retain their freedom. | While they never needed any military forces on their own world for use among their own people they are intelligent enough that once they acquired the technology that allowed them to communicate and listen to sub-space messages they realized that they would need one if they were going to be able to retain their freedom. | ||
The development of this defensive force did run into a number of different problems. One of which was their natural, some would say genetic aversion to aggression and violence. As a result they eventually settled on 5 different classes of warships but each one has extensive AI systems which can be governed by the crew. They also have a number of automated repair systems and between both of these systems they can man their ships with a third of the people they would normally need. | The development of this defensive force did run into a number of different problems.

Added to this is the fact that the Prelian have few colonies outside of their home system. They quickly realized it would be almost impossible for them to protect them as their fleet is no match for the Imperial arm of the [[Valcarian]]s or [[Caraadian]]s fleets. In fact it is unlikely that they would be able to stop either of them if they did decide to invade. | Added to this is the fact that the Prelian have few colonies outside of their home system.
