The Hawlat follow a transient space born species whom they call "Angels<ref name="Providence2"/>."

The Angels produce a 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<ref name="Milk">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/xCUf1mAUAQc/m/rVcZaSbKAQAJ "Angel's Milk"], [[Kivik]], [[Amity Outpost]]</ref>. | The creatures consume gasses and plasmas, such as those found in the stellar nebula near Amity Outpost<ref name="WhatYouEat">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/hw2xurxg6SY/m/dYGMXACWCAAJ "You Are What You Eat"], [[Kivik]], [[Amity Outpost]]<ref>, which they use in the formation of their carapace. A byproduct of this is that they are hard to detect amongst the gasses they are consuming. The Angels also appear to be attracted to Starfleet Vessels and Mining Equipment due to their vibrational frequencies, emitted radiation, and/or vented plasmas<ref name="Squeezed">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/rR_2gZIFJIs/m/rBoexd5YAgAJ "Squeezed for Time], [[Kivik]], [[Amity Outpost]]</ref>. | ||

The Hawlat are a nomadic species that wandered on space following the creatures they call Angels, after a period of what they call, dark past, these Angels were seen as a sign of good fortune and thus they began building ships to follow them into what was believed to be a path for a better future. That led them through space to different systems along the Delta quadrant, finding other species, some peaceful, others, not so much, suffering loss of ships and pilgrims along the way. Despite that, they managed to follow these Angels waiting for a signal to tell them that their journey has ended to settle somewhere where they'll have a brighter and peaceful future. | The Hawlat are a nomadic species that wandered on space following the creatures they call Angels, after a period of what they call, dark past, these Angels were seen as a sign of good fortune and thus they began building ships to follow them into what was believed to be a path for a better future.
