Resources

Planetary scans and records show that they have an abundance of organics, heavy, light and industrial metals. They also have gems, radioactives, crystals and rare metals all in useable amounts.

Scans of the moon prior to the construction showed useable amounts of most construction metals. No other resource types were detected. After the construction on all 5 moons most of all the useable amounts of metals have been used. Trace amounts can still be found.

Moons

it has 1 tiny moon, and 4 medium moons

History

According to their histories their race originated in the Galvis Trench, a deep section of the ocean. As they evolved over time they changed from strictly water breathers to where they can now breath both air and water. They believe this was caused by changeing factors in their worlds environment. Now they occupy most of the oceans of their world except the Galvis Trench.

Government

The Mantra do not seem to have any form of government. Their culture seems to be so cooperative and relaxed that formal organization of any kind is not needed.

Natives

The Mantra people resemble a terran manta ray like mammal with graceful lines and soft gray coloring. Their bellies are usually white or a very pale gray. They have optical sheaths which cover and provide protection for their eyes which are located on the top and forward edge of their flat heads. They breath through the mouth and unlike dolphin's they do not have a blow hole in the top of their heads.

Their arms resemble kite like wings which extend from their heads out to the ends of their arms and then back to where they have a long narrow flat tail that they use like a rudder. At the end of these arms, just past where the wings end are 4 webbed fingers that are extremely nimble. They have no other limbs.

Environment

The surface of this large planet is covered by 87% water. The few sections of land being found in one small area in a set of small island chains. The rest of the planet is covered by warm water to an average depth of 2,000 feet. The number and variety of sea life that grows and florishes upon this world is vast and remarkable. It is the homeworld of the Mantra.

Animals

The oceans are alive with thousands and thousands of different types of fish, mammals, crustations and other wildlife. Their are a few breeds of birds as well but no true land dwelling animals.

Economy

They have no need to import anything and export very little.

Agriculture

They do not need to do any work in order to find the food they need to survive. The oceans around them easily provide all the food they could ever use and then some.

Communities

They do not build communities like most other races as they are constantly in motion when under the water. Their are no walls or roofs, but areas can be recognized by the items in the area. So class's, markets and manufactureing areas are easy to find.

Population

It is believed that there is about 1 billion Mantra liveing in the oceans.
