History

2290 -- Members of the Haliian Oceanographic Institute were invited to participate in oceanic studies on the human colony world of Lolagi IV. What began as an annex of sorts of the Haliian Oceanographic Institute would become the center of a thriving offworld Haliian community.

2381 - A group of terrorists were operating in the system, trying to persuade planets on the outskirts of the Federation to break away. They weren't having much luck persuading the inhabitants that the Federation was a poor ally and would not be there for them in a time of crisis. They bombed several key towns and cities, burning them to the ground. The Federation did respond and send aid, though it took some time for that aid to arrive. It came too late for many countless thousands of families. In the end the planet remained loyal thanks to the hard work of the diplomatic corps and generous aid offered on arrival.

Physiology

The Haliians are a telepathic species, although they are limited to person to person empathy. A special crystal called a Canar, when held by an Haliian, has the potential to greatly increase their telepathic abilites and allow them to 'bond' with others and share their thoughts.

Externally, they are distinguished by the fact that their foreheads have a slight bulge above each eyebrow. They also have a distinctive crevice between the brows, on the bridge of the nose.

Customs

One of their holidays is the Batarael, at which a traditional song called the Horath is sung.

Military

Since Halii is on the outskirts of Federation Space and can't always rely upons swift aid from the Federation they have maintained their Combined Defence Force. It is a small, modest force which operates on the ground, in and around the system to maintain security and react to emergencies.
