History

Their history is plagued with periods of unrest, civil war, peasant upriseings and plain old simple wars. As a result the fact that the position of Sha'Ma has moved from family to family is no suprise.

Government

The overall leader of the people is the hereditary ruler called Sha'Ma. This is both his title, position and name. The current Sha'Ma is a very old man. He has 4 sons and has currently selected his eldest to replace him.

Under him are the various Sha'A. These nobles and their families control various regions of the planets surface. As can be expected these nobles run the gamit from the very powerful with large areas of land under their control and millions of subjects to those who have small to tiny sections of land and only a small number of subjects.

The nobles have complete authority and power of life and death over any and all of their subjects. They have the final word over every aspect of their lands and people.

Description

The Al-Leyan are a humanoid race with dark brown skin. The males usually have short hair and long beards of curly black hair. The females will have straight ebony black hair that is usually just past their shoulders. On average both males and females are 5'8" to 6'2" with their bodies being athletic and slim yet well muscled.

Both males and females wear a veil that covers the bottom half of their face from directly below their eye's. A headress covers the top of their heads from just above the eye's and hangs down to conceal all of their head not covered by the veil. They always wear gloves.

Physiology

They are a rugged, healthy people for the most part, suffering from many of the typical aliments and conditions that affect most humanoid races.

Psychology

Around off worlders they are very cold, aloof and distant. They prefer to limit any physical contact with aliens to the absolute minimum.

Religion

They believe in the First One. The first of their species. A man of vision. All the Sha'A and the Sha'Ma are supposedly his direct decendants. The First One wrote the Books of Aha'Bahs. A set of 232 books about 1,000 pages long each that tell the people the rules and laws under which they will live their lives.

Anyone who is not from their world is a heretic, a non-believer. As such they can not be trusted and are not covered or protected by the laws.

Mythology

According to their beliefs the First One was born a man but achieved godhood. Upon doing so he wrote the Books of Aha'Bahs. Then he created the Al-Leyans, the perfect species crafted in his image. He gifted the world with plants and animals that the people would flourish and prosper.

Society

The nobles live in luxury while the rest of the population have the bare minimum needed for survival.

Culture

They do not have much in the way of culture. No art, music or dance. Only the readings. These are sessions where chapters are read from one of the Books of Aha'Bahs. Every citizen is expected to attend once in the morning and again at the end of the day.

Customs

Unknown at this time

Technology

The Al-Leyans are a spacefaring species with warp drives. They traded to get transporter and replicator technology. While advanced they are not quite up to the level of most of the Federation member worlds.

Economy

They conduct a large amount of trade which sustains their planetary needs. It is also a means by which certain Sha'A have increased their wealth and power. They will conduct business with anyone for just about anything.

Military

They do not maintain a true space fleet, relying on their location within the Federation to keep their world safe. They do however have a large fleet of small frigate sized police or cargo inspection vessels that patrol their system and the nearby areas of space.

As for ground troops each and every Sha'A and the Sha'Ma maintain their own armed forces.

Federation Intelligance Files
