Outwardly identical to Humans, the Argelian race is known for its hedonistic, peace-loving nature, which was acquired after undergoing a period in Argelian history known as the Great Awakening circa the 2060s. At this time their society was fundamentally reformed from violent to placid. Since the Great Awakening, the Argelians have adopted a pacifist way of life, deploring any form of violence. | Outwardly identical to Humans, the Argelian race is known for its hedonistic, peace-loving nature, which was acquired after undergoing a period in Argelian history known as the '''Great Awakening''' circa the 2060s.

Some Argelians possesses psychic powers, but it is not a common characteristic to this race. This pleasure-loving cultural trait makes it necessary to import administrative officials from other worlds to maintain order. This pacifist philosophy almost resulted in a planetary judicial crisis when in 2267 three murders were committed, a crime for which the punishment would have been death by slow torture due to laws from before the Awakening. Fortunately the Argelians did not have to execute anyone as the murderer turned out to be a non-humanoid lifeform. | Some Argelians possesses psychic powers, but it is not a common characteristic to this race.
