The '''Constellationites''' are a multi-armed, multi-eyed race native to a region of space in the [[Ithassa Region]] that they call "the One Kingdom." They appear silver-grey in color. Their skin glistens slightly and seems to be made up of tiny plates or scales. The Constellationites have in the past clashed with the [[Grendellai]]. It is also known they they prize Gorn eggs, fertilized or not, as a delicacy.

==History==
===First Contact===
A species of contradictions, the Constellationites that the Kodiak recently made first contact with believe in peace, their way of life being one of servitude, yet underneath their spirituality is a widely accepted practice of control, even violence.

Line 23: Line 47:
The rebellion now out in the open on the streets of Triceblessed and the away team caught in the middle, the second half of the device is disarmed by Lieutenants Graves and Lt. Terpes, and the rebels become fewer in number.  Only those who are resistant to the device’s effects are able to advance on the Constellationite soldiers and the away team.  A partial objective achieved, the away team is suddenly beamed back to an awaiting shuttle, the Kodiak is dead in space, and the commanding officers are sent to Deep Space 17 for further diplomatic action where later, negotiations are abruptly ended.

==More about the One Kingdom==
==Government==
The Constellationites have a cone-shaped body, oval head, and four tentacle-like legs.  They are covered in tiny scales, are silver-gray in color, and possess three to four eyes, one being on top of their heads. They breathe out of ventricles.  Their arms extend from their midriff and number from two to one hundred.  The fewer the number, the lower in rank. The highest-known rank below the one hundred armed deity, the Star Lord, is Raja Ulsheen, having ten arms and being the leader of the Triceblessed system and most favored of the Star Lord. Uksheen, another member of the honored Sheen family, possesses six arms and is the younger spawn/sibling and first helper to Ulsheen.  Their arms are present at birth, so their place in the One Kingdom is known from birth, as well.  Their duty in life is revealed by the Star Lord when the child is approximately three months of age.
===Rank System===
The fewer the number, the lower in rank. The highest-known rank below the one hundred armed deity, the Star Lord, is Raja Ulsheen, having ten arms and being the leader of the Triceblessed system and most favored of the Star Lord. Uksheen, another member of the honored Sheen family, possesses six arms and is the younger spawn/sibling and first helper to Ulsheen.  Their arms are present at birth, so their place in the One Kingdom is known from birth, as well.  Their duty in life is revealed by the Star Lord when the child is approximately three months of age.
 
They serve at this level for life, lesser families serving the higher-ranking families. Their bondservants serve the same masters for life and are expected to worship the Star Lord. All serve the Star Lord. To fail in this duty is worse than dishonesty. It is considered blasphemy. Punishments are harsh. The Truth Stone causes severe pain or death to those who lie, and demotion from a Constellationites place in life, their birthright, is carried out through dismemberment of arms.

==Religion==
They worship multiple deities but believe the Star Lord is a living god. The living gods that proceeded Vish IX were Vish VIII and Iskis III, and Trendal VII. The Trendal device was made up of the light of Trendal as she lay dying.


==Technology==
The priests of the Star Lord have fewer arms than Raja Ulsheen, but they earn their place serving the Star Lord by allowing the eye on top of their heads to be burned out by the sun to show their devotion to the living god. Instead of appearing before the Star Lord completely prone and crawling, as the few who are allowed into his presence must do, the priests must simply bow. As they enter his throne room, they dance, their many arms intertwining as they sing a welcoming hymn.  
Raja Ulsheen travels to Deep Space 17 in a long, needle-thin ship, shiny like chrome.  The entire vessel is lit up like the stars and is named Shivari, meaning Divine.  Their warp engines are situated in the aft section. It is 1024.73 meters in length, 50 meters tall, comprising 10 decks, Tritanium single hull, containing three flash torpedo tubes, each holding ten torpedoes each.  Their shielding is minor due to energy nets that can surround a ship almost immediately after initiated, are located aft and port, The energy net subsumes 657,360 TeraJoules of energy. Firing upon it by a captured ship only serves to increase its energy.
The Triceblessed ships of this design can reach warp 4, and there are only a few ships like this one in the Triceblessed kingdom. These ships seem to be reserved for higher-ranking officials, technological advancements being a privilege of the many-limbed.  Below them, the fastest ships are recorded at reaching warp 2.3.  The weapons on these ships are much less sophisticated than their counterparts.  Data collected show offensive weapons consisting of low-yield directed particle weapons, as well as chemical torpedoes.  These ships do not have much for a defensive system.  Polarized hull plating is the best they have.
The Triceblessed also have small, cloaked repair ships and ships called thopters that are used to carry the Triceblessed priests to the Kodiak. . Anti-gravity motivators lift the thopter and a multitude of fins spring up so that it appears much like a snowflake.  The fins contain artificial stabilizers for smooth acceleration.


The Constellationites riddle their sectors with magnetic minefields that react to warp signatures and radiation output.  Navigation of these fields is difficult and deadly.
==Mythology==


The Constellationites communicate by stepping through a sheet of pure light.  It makes the person seem to appear in another place, even up to hundreds of light years away. Instead of viewscreens, they have crystal spheres.  Hand-carried weapons are spherical objects that shoot out a miniature version of the Shivari’s energy net.
==Society==
The Constellationites view themselves as a blessed collective.  They believe themselves to be superior to all other species, but they do tend to respect those of a higher rank within Starfleet, like Admiral Hollis. The Triceblessed don’t believe in fighting their natural rulers. They don’t understand the Federation, especially the Bajoran people.


==Triceblessed==
The Constellationites refer to Itahassa space as Ulsjifga.
Triceblessed architecture reflects monolithic towers and spires. Their water is controlled by pipes and aqueducts.  The tallest buildings are temples and they are also the most opulent. As the more affluent are seen as more richly blessed by the Gods, so too are they richly adorned.  Raja Ulsheen’s house is like a mansion, encrusted with jewels and expensive fabrics.  The Triceblessed pray while viewing images of their homeworld during travel to ensure safe passage.  The people of Triceblessed gather outside temples for worship every day.  Often crowded, those still outside when the chimes sound must worship outside.  They immediately drop to the ground and begin chanting.  The away team reported a sense of calm and peace while on the planet before the Trendal device was activated.

* The enslaved Grendallai are smaller in stature than their free ancestors.  They also tend to have multi-colored fur, unlike the primarily brown and gray fur of the free Grendallai. They were domesticated over the years by use of devices just like the Trendal device.  In its proper use, it was intended to inspire feelings of peace and servitude and is how the Constellationites now extend throughout sixteen systems.

==Customs==
==Technology==
===Ships===
There are three distinct types of ships within the Triceblessed System
====Main Ship Design====
The ship design of the TriceBlessed System is a long, needle-thin ship, shiny-like chrome.
* The warp engine design compromises the aft section, 1024.73 meters in length and 50 meters tall to compromise approximately 10 decks.
* Hull composition is Tritanium.
* Three torpedo bay tubes, each holding ten torpedoes each.
* Shielding is minor due to energy nets that surround each ship almost immediately after initiated, which are located aft and port. This energy set subsumes 657,360 TeraJoules of energy. It has an added advantage from direct fire from an enemy combatant ship in tractor, increasing the shield energy output.
* Warp speeds can reach 4.0, but there are very few of this specific warp design, primarily a privilege for many-limbed ranking officials
* Standard warp speed: 2.3 max
* Weapons systems: Low-yeild particle weapons and chemical torpedoes.
* Defense Systems: Polarized hull plating
====Repair Ships====
These are small, cloaked ships that service the main of the Constellationite Fleet.
====Thopters====
These small ships are dedicated for the Triceblessed priests (originating from the ship that landed on the [[USS Kodiak]]), boasting anti-gravity motivators which lift the ship and a multitude of fins springing up to give the appearance of a snowflake. These fins contain artificial stabilizers for smooth acceleration.
===Communications===
*The Constellationites communicate by stepping through a sheet of pure light.  It makes the person seem to appear in another place, even up to hundreds of light years away.  Instead of viewscreens, they have crystal spheres.
==Military==
===Defensive Systems===
The Constellationites riddle their sectors with magnetic minefields that react to warp signatures and radiation output.  Navigation of these fields is difficult and deadly.
===Personal Armament===
Hand-carried weapons are spherical objects that shoot out a miniature version of the Shivari’s energy net.
