The Hawlat are a Delta Quadrant species who are currently being developed through a Mission on Amity Outpost.
Species Information
The Hawlat are a nomadic race (referring to themselves as "pilgrims"), originally from the planet Hawlathia[1], whose religious commitment to following a species of space born creatures has led them to travel the stars[2]. They follow their 'Angels' in search of a 'Supreme Pasture' - a place which would sustain the Angels and the Hawlat for a longer period of time and allow them to recover their dwindling population[1].
Currently, a contingent of Hawlat have found refuge on Amity Outpost, having escaped persecution on many other worlds[3].
Their religious order contains at least three ranks. In order from most-to-least power, they are Luminary, Acolyte, and Pilgrim[4]. Not all Hawlat share an equal degree of religious devotion, and some may question the wisdom of their religious traditions[4].
The species is humanoid but shares a mild superficial resemblance to earth bovines[2]. They have broad flat noses and are largely covered in a short coarse fur[4].
Hawlat Angels
The Hawlat follow a transient space born species whom they call "Angels[3]" (scientific name: Stellaesirenia Amicus[5]) They consider the creatures to be their spiritual guides who lead them through space "from pasture to pasture[4]." They are very protective of the creatures and are deeply disturbed by any perceived irreverence or disruption towards their Angels.
The Angels are colloquially referred to by benamite miners (and some Starfleet personnel) as "Space Cows"[6] and "Mo-Mo's"[7], due to their similarities to earth manatees - though the Hawlat may find this term offensive. They have demonstrated an interest in 'hitching rides' on spacefaring vessels but otherwise appear docile[8].
The creatures consume gasses and plasmas, such as those found in the stellar nebula near Amity OutpostCite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag.
The Angels produce a purple drinkable substance, referred to as "Angel's Milk," which may have hallucinatory effects on some species. Angels Milk is used in some rituals, including The Ritual of Trust by the Hawlat[9].
