History
The Treaty of Friendship
Before a formal treaty was finally signed between the Circle of Five Suns and the Federation, diplomatic relations were handled between colonists and each individual tribe or even between colonists and individual clan leaders.
Government
The Ohanze are divided into five tribes, four of which hold claim to their own capital worlds in four star systems, with the fifth tribe being purely nomadic in their space faring vessels. All four star systems are located in an area of the Shoals, dubbed the Shadows due to the severe tetryon interference wreaked on sensors and communications.
The five tribes of the Ohanze are as follows, named for the stars of their capital worlds.
- The Red Sun Tribe: Hailing from a star system with two habitable planets out of six, the Red Sun Tribe are known for their artistry, philosophy, and literature. Many Ohanze legends originated from the Red Sun, passed on to other tribes who modified the stories for their own people.
- The Yellow Sun Tribe: Hailing from a star system with a single habitable planet out of four, the Yellow Sun Tribe is renowned for their scientists, healers, and engineers.
- The White Sun Tribe: Hailing from a star system with two habitable planets out of seven, the White Sun Tribe are a tribe of farmers, fishermen, and tradesmen.
- The Blue Sun Tribe: Hailing from a star system with three habitable planets out of six, the Blue Sun Tribe are a tribe of merchants and traders. They connect the other tribes to one another through commerce.
- The Black Sun Tribe: Named because they have no home star, the Black Sun Tribe are the smallest tribe, living in the Shadows entirely on their fleet of vessels. Their need to survive pushed them to prey on both other Ohanze tribes and non-Ohanze vessels that enter the Shadows for supplies. Early run ins with Terran colonists and other outsiders to the Shoals earned the entire Ohanze race a reputation as formidable, ruthless opponents in battle due to a lack of understanding of the varied tribes and subcultures within the Ohanze.
The Circle of Five Suns
The Circle of Five Suns was a largely ceremonial body that has become more used for the Ohanze in their dealings with the Federation in the last century. Although the Treaty of Friendship signed in 2327 contributed greatly to improving relations between the Federation and the Ohanze, pirate factions of course paid no attention to the document, and the Black Sun Tribe has only a token representative selected from the small Black Sun community that joined sympathetic Blue Sun Tribe in legitimate trade.
Description
The Ohanze average in size from 9' to 11' and weigh between 320 lbs to 450 lbs. The less light that is present the more their bodies start to give off a bio-luminescent sickly green color. In black out conditions they glow brightly while in normal day time or brighter lighting conditions it is impossible to tell that they can glow. They have long wispy blue hair that also retains some bio-luminescent. They have massive webbed hands with 3 fingers and a thumb while their feet are slightly oval pads twice the size of their legs.
It is impossible to tell the difference between males and females. The only clothes worn by any of them is a very brief loincloth. Some may wear straps, belts or harnesses that are used to hold or support equipment, tools or weapons as needed.
Over the generations part of their bio-luminescent coloring has been altered, influenced by the type of sun that shines down on the planet they live on. As a result the splotches of irregular different colored sections found on their torso will closely resemble the color of the their individual suns.
Language
The Ohanze language is incredibly complex due to their unique anatomy and physiology, and most humanoids are unable to pronounce their words. The Ohanze likewise are unable to articulate most common humanoid languages. Thus, communication with the Ohanze is done extensively through the universal translator, with the devices directly interpreting and "speaking" the words as literal translations into Federation Standard.
Thus there are no "Ohanze" words. Their terms, names of places and people, etc. are simply translated into their literal translation. Ohanze typically also refer to each other by their professions. For instance, an Ohanze individual might simply be referred to in their name by their profession: Pilot, Healer, Priest, etc.
Physiology
The Ohanze are large non-humanoid lifeforms. They thrive on M-class worlds but can survive in harsher climates than most humanoid life. Their bodies are bio-luminescent. They are not telepathic, but their language is difficult for humanoids to comprehend. The Ohanze are genetically incompatible with humanoid lifeforms, and they do not interbreed with non-Ohanze.

Mythology
The Ohanze do not have a single "homeworld", although their myths and legends tell of a supposed mother world in the ancient past where the species and civilization first originated, united as a single nation. Over the generations each tribes legends have evolved so that now each of the 5 tribes origin myths differ in a number of noticeable ways. However what they all still agree about is that their home world was shadowy with limited light and with numerous large bodies of water.

Due to the unusual conditions found in the Shadows region of the Shoals, where severe tetryon interference wreaks havok on sensors and communications they have a noticeable technological advantage. One that does not exist out side of this region.

Federation Intelligence Files
Although a formal treaty is in place supposedly keeping the peace, the Ohanze have always had a somewhat tense relationship with the colonists of the Colonial Coalition, whom they view as encroaching on their territory, which spans several planetary systems. The Ohanze have also grown resentful of continued pirate and criminal activity, which the natives view as the responsibility of the colonists and the Federation.
