Their recorded history is over 25,000 years old. In that time they have never fought a war among themselves, crime is almost unheard of and they have developed at a slow even pace. They first developed space travel over 5,000 years ago but few ever went to the stars. Those that did traveled and observed from a distance the races and worlds around them. | Their recorded history is over 25,000 years old. In that time they have never fought a war among themselves, crime is almost unheard of and they have developed at a slow even pace. They first developed space travel over 5,000 years ago but few ever went to the stars. Those that did traveled and observed from a distance the races and worlds around them. During this period they left satellites in orbit of any world that they found interesting, usually those that had some type of life forms on them. | ||
It was because of these observations and the subsequent debates among the representatives in their government | It was because of these observations, that they discovered what to them was illogical behavior by those they considered to be technically intelligent species. All of them displayed violent, aggressive and savage behaviors and the subsequent debates among the representatives in their government and many of their intellectual leaders regarding those abhorrent species resulted in them adopting an isolationist attitude. While some of them they still traveled among the stars they would avoid contact with all other races. | ||
While the concept of war and violence | Another result of these observations of other species was a centuries long series of debates regarding what they should do if any of them survived long enough to develop the technology that would allow them to visit the stars. Many of their leading intellectuals argued that the possibility was so slim as to not be worth worrying about, however the vast majority of the people were not willing to take that chance. This resulted in further debates. While the concept of war and violence was totally alien to them they had to accept the fact that other races could and would employ violent force against others. The result of these debates was the creation of a completely automated defense system. One that they have continually upgraded and expanded upon over time. They also removed all of the satellites that they had left to observe these other worlds and species. | ||
Over the last 500 years only a small percentage of their population has left their own solar system. | |||
