The Da'al are a non-violent warp-capable species with several colonies throughout the Borderlands.

General Information

Due to the greater heat generated by F stars, the Da’al society stretches from their home world to various smaller planets in their area of space. Warp travel is not well researched, but is a priority to some of the factions that wish to extend their presence in the sector. The weather near the capital consists of three main seasons, a rainy cold time good for planting the water dependent crops of certain grains exclusive to the planet, a warmer season for harvest, and a third brief season between the two where storms from cold fronts meeting warm can turn deadly if one does not seek shelter for the duration. This brief ‘mini season’ bridges the two main weather patterns known to the planet.

Physiology

The Da'al are a tall race, averaging 188 centimeters in height. Their appearance is humanoid, with grey skin that ranges from an almost porcelain to a deep slate color. There are undertones of red or purple beneath the skin, red being more likely to show the Da'al is from the northern regions, while purple tends to be dominant in Da'al from the southern part of the planet. Their eyes can be any color on the spectrum.

Government

Elections

Da'al society is made of many factions, each with their own economy and industry. Representatives from these factions come together in the capital of Dalina, which is located on a small island by the same name.

Given that the Da'al Homeworld is a planet that is only recently begun exploring warp travel, their society is much like that of a Victorian Era Earth. Instead of having a monarch, the planet is led by a Prime Minister who has a general term of ten years. Under the minister, are representatives from other sections of the planet who have a term of five years. It is not unheard of for one of these under ministers to campaign for the higher office.

Each section's under minister is part of a larger council that answers to the Prime Minister. Each section also has its own military advisor who are chosen from generals that have proven their intelligence and courage. There are four main sections of the planet, plus Vman, where the government sits. The populace chooses the under ministers, and the ministers then choose the Prime Minister from candidates that have previously served in government.
