The Alvanian (pronounced Al'vae'nee'an) are a humainoid race oringating from the planet Alvania.

Physiology

While having the appearance of normal humanoids resembling Terrans, Alvanians vary greatly from other humanoids. The first major difference is in regards to their stomachs, in which they have two instead of the traditional one. Also, they have a highly advanced liver which is extremely efficient in the absorption and detoxification of foreign substances. As a result of this, Alvanians have a very complex diet, but in return have a high resistance to many poisonous foods and drink.

Culture

While being known for Alvanian Brandy, the Alvanian's primitive culture revolved around their imbibement of many different substances for various occasions. It has been theorized that this the reason for their somewhat unique physiology.

Around the 22nd century, the Alvanians achieved warp drive and soon after achieved provisional federation status. Since then, their technology has ceased to grow and is more focused on development of different, and usually alcoholic, substances for trade with other cultures.

Other planet information:

Alviania viewed from space appears to be a dense rainforest with few seas and oceans. With few open water areas, much of the planet's water remains underground in the form of springs. The climate as such, Alvanians try their best to live with the environment instead of conforming it to their own needs.

Wildlife tends to be widely varying and dangerous to off worlders due to their low tolerance of poisons. Examples of creatures on this planet are; Alvanian Bees and Alvanian Tree Sloths
