History

The history of the planet is closely tied to the history of the people. They are a peaceful race, co-operative and driven towards mutual benefits. The oldest records show that preservation of the planet, it's environment and life forms was the closest thing they had to a religion. Everything they do is in conjucture with the environment. Vegetatians, they have built up a civilization that produces no none recyclable waste.

In fact in all of their recorded history their is no known occurance of armed conflict other than criminal acts performed by a tiny minority of the population.

They are intelligent and had a fairly advanced civilization, studied the stars and watched from afar with horror as the Klingons took control of Cart'hen III in 2193. Prior to that they had been contacted by Earth in the person of Captain Johnathan Archer of the starship Enterprise NX-01 in 2162. This occured shortly after the creation of the Federation.

With the sudden action of the Klingons so close to their home and with them haveing no military force or even weapons with which to defend themselves, they were forced to enter into a conclave. This was only the 3rd time in their history that they had done this. The first time was to write the laws that they still use today. The second time was to debate and make changes to those laws to reflect the changes in their society due to population growth and advances in science.

Now they debated over how they would deal with this possible threat. They knew more than they cared to know about the Klingons. They knew they only respected force, something they hoped to never have to be forced to reduce themselves to use. The Romulans seemed to similar for their liking as well. Their were no other great space powers close enough to help.

It was during this conclave, which is a meeting in which every citizen of the planet is given an opportunity to voice his opinion that they came up with a possible solution. One they hoped would save their world with out affecting their cultural identity.

They contacted the Vulcans, a race with whom they had, had prior contact, stated their problem and asked for help. The Vulcans then considered the request. Then passed it along to the other members of the Federation. It was a long process, with many of the idea's and suggestions turned down. However a solution was finally chosen. The 4 medium moons in orbit around their homeworld would be converted to weapons platforms. This would be in keeping with their laws against weapons as the weapons would never touch the planet's surface.

The construction on all 4 moons was started in 2217 and finished in 2228. Due to the good will created by the generous assistance given by the Federation the people went into a 4th conclave in 2289 and upon it's completion in 2316 requested admission into the Federation.

They have 3 long toes and usually never wear any kind of foot gear. They also have 2 fingers and 1 opposable thumb on their hands. All 3 of these fingers are long and slender.

Environment

This planet is a true tropical paradise with well tended jungles, tropical flowers, warm climate and millions of brightly colored birds. Insects, butterflies and hundreds of tiny mammals live among the towering vegataion of the island wide jungles.

Their are 3 large islands that make up the entire land mass. The rest of the planet is warm waters teeming with fish and other plant life. Daily showers strike the entire planet with almost clock like regularity.
