History

Avian Legend

Long ago we lived elsewhere. We lived in peace, at one with our world. It was a golden age. No poverity, hunger, disease or want, but we angered the gods and they banished us to the stars. For time beyond memory we wandered looking for a new world, a new home. Finally we found one that the gods would allow us to tread. Our homes dropped from the stars and we were finally allowed to soar upon the winds. Free from the confines of the space arks that had been our jail for countless years. We learned that we were not alone on this world. Others lived here who were not like us. They attacked and killed some of us. We were stunned, afraid. So we stayed away from them. Even when they stole the tablet of truth from us, we did not seek to retrieve it. But that was then, someday we will regain it. On that day the stars will weep and the gods will again show us the bounty of their favour.

Feline Legend

In ancient times the wise ones kept peace on Kallca, while they traveled through the skies. My people were happy and had no worries, but then the wise ones made a mistake and brought the Avians here, thinking that they would be a food source for the Felines. But although some of the early Avians were eaten, my people found them distasteful, so the Avians were freed and banished to the mountains. We co-existed in peace as long as they stayed in the mountains, but the wise ones were displeased with us for not accepting their gift of food and left us the machine.

Stone of Destiny

My father told me that using the machine we learned how to make the fisheries, and other things we needed. When the wise ones came, they mated with the early Felines, and as far as I know, all Felines are now descendants of the wise ones. So the machine was not hard for us to master, but it was my father who figured out the complexities of sky travel. His dream was to find the wise ones. When the revolution began, my father broke the stone key to higher calculations. He said it was too much temptation for any one person not to destroy the Avians. He put two of the pieces in places where I would have much difficulty getting to them. And in places where the Avians could not find them in case they succeeded in capturing the palace. Theo brought me one of them, and my father entrusted me with one. So now I have in my possession two of the stones. With all three stones I can open the calculations and bring peace back to Kallca, but that would mean the destruction of the Avians, and I don't want to do that.

True History

Kaclla II is the native homeworld of the Felines. The Avians did not appear until more than 500 years ago. They fell from the sky in enormas vessels that lite up the night sky for hundreds of miles. Over night the world now had 2 totally different intelligent races seeking to survive within 1 ecosystem. Fortunately their needs for survival were sufficently different that they were able to co-exist with fairly minor conflicts that never grew in size or degree.

Native Felines (Pifili)

The natives are a feline race who are on average 5' to 6' in height and weight between 175 to 225 lbs. The ears and head are atypical of Earth's domestic cats but with a face that has more human like characteristics. They still have the whiskers, fur and eyes of a feline but the other aspects of their faces appear extremely human like.

The upper body and arms are also humanoid, with the exception of the paws for hands. Even with that these paws do have 2 extra very short joints that allow them to pick things up and perform fairly delicate work when they need to. They have extremely sharp claws that they can retract or extend at will. From the waist down they are totally catlike with muscular legs that give the appearance of being extremely strong and agile. They can walk upright or on all fours with about the same degree of ability.

They are covered all over with fur that ranges in color from white to brown, black to orangish and just about every shade inbetween On most it is short but on the hereditary leaders it grows longer and appears to be more silky in nature. They have tails but these tend to only be a few feet in length.

Settlers Avians (Aarakocra)

The new race to this world are an Avian species. They are taller and lighter than the felines being on average 5'8" to 6'6" in height and weighting between 135 to 175 lbs. The are very slim and covered in small, to tiny feathers everywhere except for their wings, chest and the top to back of their heads.

Their feet have 1 toe sticking out the back of their foot and 2 long toes sticking out the front. All these toes end in extremely sharp talons. They can use them to walk on or to grasp objects.

Their arms/wings are one complete limb extending from their shoulders. They have a 3 fingered hand with very long slender fingers about halfway along their wing. This is the location of a major joint that allows then to fold their wings back out of the way so they can function almost like other humanoids. These hands let them perform many delicate tasks even thou they look to be very clumsy. On average an adult male will have a wing span of 12 to 15 feet.

They have a chaste system that seems to be based on the colouration of the feathers on their chest and heads. This feathered ruff comes in many different colors. Some of them are deep purple (leadership), dull brown (security), jade green (managers), brilliant blue (engineers), blazing red (medical), pure white (prophets) and dull green (farmers).

Environment

The planet has a mild weather pattern with only a rare storm developing that is capable of creating damage. The growing season is more than sufficient to their needs.

Animals

They has a fairly diverse ecology with many different types of birds, reptiles, animals and sea life.

Economy

Population

According to the last set of cencus numbers they provided to the Federation the Felines number about 15 million and the Avians number around 10 million.

Communities

Felines

They prefer to build their communities on level ground with lots of large old growth trees all around. From above the trees almost conceal most comunities. Most buildings are less than 4 stories tall. Only a few buildings per community are usually bigger than this.

Avians

They have built all their communities and cities high in the mountains. They are built of native stone and tend to be built into cliff faces or the most extreme verticle slopes. Their ability to fly makes the entire city accessable to them. Over half of any communite is inside the mountain carved from the solid rock.

Technology

Both races seem to be fairly close tecnology wise. The Avians use to have a great advantage in certain areas but the Felines very rapidly closed the gap. Their are still a few major differences between them in this regard. The Avians have better flying, defensive and medical tech. The Felines have better offensive, transportation and material production tech.

Space Capability

On 238607.07 during a diplomatic mission to the system by the USS Challenger-A, the crew were able to perform a number of scans of the various vessels in the system. The results of thoses scans have been uploaded to the Federation data base. Prior to this very few details were known about their ships and their capabilities.

Felines

Their ships tend to look a lot like a Y crossed with a triangle. One arm of the ship houses the engines and the other two that face forward end in weapons pods. The bridge is in the front between the 2 weapons arms of the ships and shuttle bays are located along the sides just in front of the engines.

Starfleet Intelligence Files

On Stardate 238503.08 Fleet Captain T'Pen and the crew of the USS Challenger visited Kaclla II. This was in response to their request to join the Federation. However members with in the 2 different races liveing on the planet objected to the need for a unified world government first and joining the Federation as well. See Fighting Stones(Challenger).
