The Mithgiln have a rather colorful history, civil war plaguing their past up until the formation of the Conclave. The Conclave was formed after the Mithgiln nearly obliterated themselves in civil war, prior to achieving space flight. The population greatly reduced, they formed the Conclave, making sure that no bias found its way into the Conclave. Truthfully they saw that their fighting and their prejudice where Castes were involved nearly killed off their people, and decided that enough was enough and turned their civilization around. The Conclave was the driving force behind all of this. The wisest members of each caste were chosen for the Conclave, and when the Conclave met it was in secret, so that no one outside the Conclave would know who favored what. The Conclave decided that it would forever speak with one voice, for the good of their people, they would never be seen to fight or disagree. The population believed their wisest members had actually found ways to agree and that there actually was always agreement between the Conclave members. They developed the system to break ties, so that each Caste had equal time with in the year. All the general populace knew was that their wisest leaders had come out with one voice and demanded that there be peace. That no caste could exist without the others, as each caste worked in service of the others, and the life of one caste would be worthless without the other three castes. The fighting stopped, and their civilization took off like a rocket. With the focus on service, the Mithgiln quickly rebuilt their ruined cities, the lessons they learned in their wars never leaving them. What has once been only duty to the Caste, became duty to the people at large and, after interstellar travel was available, service to the greater galaxy. | |||
After the Castes united under the Conclave, technology took off like a rocket. Space flight took them to their moons and the next planet out in their system. With the development of basic impulse the Mithgiln started exploring further out in their system. The first full impulse ship, The Galandar, bore a mixed Caste crew to the outer planets in the system. The Ship approached the last gas giant in the system for the first in person study of the ring system of the planet. Moving amongst the ring system were five massive creatures, the largest slightly larger than a Galaxy class starship. The Bull of the group began advancing on the Galandar, and the crew of the science ship began a quick retreat only halted by the lone Religious Caste member of the crew who happened to be a telepath. The Telepath claimed that the creature was trying to make contact. Soon enough full contact was made with the creature and the rest of it’s herd. The Creatures, still without a good name, communicated with each other telepathically and were interested in communicating with these new tiny creatures. | |||
Over a number of years the Mithgiln opened a dialog with these space faring creatures, using the Telepaths of the Religious Caste as intermediaries. As time moved on more of these Creatures began visiting the Mithgiln home world, interested in meeting these planet dwelling people. The Creatures, now known now as Shonora, had a legend among their kind that they once traveled with partners, smaller creatures that dwelled inside of them using them to travel among the stars. Why those first partners left is lost to time, but the Shonora always hoped they would find new partners in the world. It was readily apparent to the Mithgiln that the Shonora had been bio-engineered at some point, whether they were created whole cloth or modified from an already existing space faring creature is unknown. The Shonora are living ships in all ways. Once goodwill had been developed, the Shonora invited the Mithgiln to board them. Inside they found the Shonora capable of support a crew, space was set aside where people could live an work without interfering with the Shonora. Areas of the ship had clear places where power could be interfaced from the creature to mount screen. The telepaths of the Religious Caste formed a new Sept comprised of telepaths who worked with the Shonora. These Guardians became interpreters and advocates for the creatures, and most crews carry a senior Guardian and an number of junior guardians. At the back of the Bridge and in a few other spots on the ship, there is a node, a platform of sorts, where the Guardian has a more direct contact with the mind of the Shonora. This place allows the Guardian to share the Shonora’s senses and have easier conversations. Many guardians spend entire shifts in communion with their Shononra. While crews come and go, Guardians are much more stable, and while the Mithgiln are fond of their ships, the Shonora are exceedingly protective of their guardians. A sister Legion in the Military Caste sprung up at the request of a number of the Shonora to provide protection to the Guardians, especially when they are not on the ship. One of the few times Guardians change Shonoras is when a new Shonora is born, typically one of the junior guardians is chosen to become a senior guardian on the new ship. Some instances of hyper protective parents have involved a Senior Guardian from one of the parents being moved to the new Shonora. | |||
