History
By the mid 22nd century, Ardanans had developed shuttle technology and had already had dealings with the Retellians.
As of 2269, their society had evolved two castes, the Stratos city-dwellers who devoted themselves purely to art and culture, and the surface-based Troglytes. These city-dwellers ruled the planet from Stratos through a council existing solely of their class, justifying the total suppression of the Troglytes based on the widely held belief that as an inferior species the Troglytes were incapable of any advanced culture.
Troglytes on the other hand were considered to be mentally inferior, and therefore performed all the physical toil necessary to maintain Stratos, most notably mining Zenite. Unknown to both city-dwellers and Troglytes however, this mental disadvantage, while real, was only the result of exposure to a gas emanating from unrefined zenite, and furthermore, fully reversible.
Due to the efforts of the crew of the USS Enterprise in 2269, this situation was exposed to the Federation, and apart from a direct suggestion to start using breathing masks in the mines so that the Troglytes could recover their full mental capacities, the people of Ardana were referred to the Federation Bureau of Industrialization to resolve their differences.
Since then the land based population has evolved a strong culture and seperate society all their own. They
Government
A council of elders with the top position being that of High Advisor based in the floating city of Stratos govern the Ardanans dealing with the Federation. All other government functions are handled by a council on the planets surface made up of Troglytes with the top spot being the Chief Administrator.
Description
They appear to be almost identical to Terrans.
Physiology
With only a couple minor deviations to their internal organs they are very similar to Terrans.
Psychology
The city dwellers still to this day have a feeling of superiority over those who still are called Troglytes. As for the Troglytes since the introduction of safty masks while working the mines their mental level of ability now matches that of the city dwellers.
Religion
Mythology
Society
Culture
Customs
Technology
They are masters of anti-gravity and their capitol Stratos is a prime example of this. It is probally one of the most famous anti-gravitational cities in existance. It floats majestically above the planets surface. The rest of their technology is about mid-level to that of the rest of the Federation members.
Economy
They are one of the chief exporters of zenite within the Federation. Their oldest tradeing partner is the Retellians.
Military
They have no military force at all. However they do have a civil police force that ensures the safety of the entire population. This force is well trained and equiped and made up entirely of Troglytes.
