History

In the mid-24th century, the Angosians were involved in a protracted conflict called the Tarsian War. Being inherently non-violent, the Angosian authorities were forced to subject their soldiers to genetic engineering and chemical manipulation in order to successfully end the conflict. However, it was discovered that the process was irreversible, and when the war ended, the "super soldiers" were unable to function within or co-exist alongside the normal population of Angosian society, and as such were confined indefinitely to a penal settlement on an Angosian moon, Lunar V, and considered to be outcasts and criminals.

In 2366, the Angosians petitioned to join the Federation. The USS Enterprise-D visited Angosia III to follow up the petition. However, the occasion was interrupted by the escape of the soldier Roga Danar who was pursued by the Enterprise crew at Angosia III's request. Unfortunately for the planet, while the crew was successful capturing him, they then learned from him of the gross systemic sentient rights violation being committed.

While Captain Jean-Luc Picard found that the Angosian government refused to discuss the concern, Danar escaped and proceeded to start a rebellion with his fellows. In the face of the planet's unacceptable policies and the resultant civil upheaval caused by them, the application was put on hold for the immediate future.

Government

They have an elected council that is divided into 5 branches with 5 councillors in each branch. Each branch of this government is responsible for a different aspect of their society. One of these is considered the senior councillor and sits on the central council. Each senior councillor is selected by the other members of his branch of the government.

Description

The Angosians are a humanoid race that is outwardly indistinguishable from Humans. Unlike Angosian War Veterans they do not have any facial tattoos.

Physiology

While they do appear to be basically human they lack the necessary hormones and enzymes needed for violent or aggressive behaviour. Certain other basic physiological differences also make their chemical make up distinct and unique.

Psychology

Angosians eschewed violence, preferring to focus on intellectual development. As a result they tend to be very even tempered, basically non-violent and fairly stable mentally. This may be due to the unique checmical makeup of their particular physical systems.

Religion

Unknown at this time. If they do have one it does not seem to be a very important aspect of their society.

Mythology

Unknown at this time.

Society

The civilized humanoids of Angosia III are non-violent by nature. They are advanced in the development of the mind, intellect and typically are thoughtful and intelligent. This mentality has resulted in very little crime and a very organized and structured lifestyle.

Culture

They are more concerned with the pursuits of the mind but this does not interfere with the finer arts. Poets, painters, sculptors and musicians all strive to create relaxing yet thought provoking concepts and creations.

Customs

Not much is know about their customs at this time.

Technology

They are slightly behind the majority of Federation member worlds when it comes to their technology.

Economy

They are completely self sufficient and have a strong economy with extensive off world trade.

Military

Due to their pacifism in matters of fighting, they used mind control and biochemical's to create the ultimate fighting soldiers to win their Tarsian War, which has subsequently passed. These veterans were treated to intense psychological conditioning and exotic biochemical alterations to make them nearly invincible. Peacetime, however, found the Angosians unable (or unwilling) to take the time to reverse the effects of these alterations. After several incidents involving these violent soldiers, the fearful Angosians voted to banish the soldiers to a penal colony on Lunar V, and so these veterans were imprisoned on an uninhabitable moon to separate them from the populace. Shortly before Stardate 43489.2, however, escapees broke free to take over the capital city, demanding they receive help to be able to return to their homes. The veterans don't attack unless provoked, but they are programmed to survive.
