Homeworld: Dahri IV
History
The Dahri originated in the salt water oceans that cover most of the surface of their homeworld. It was here that they learned the use of tools, language and the other basic first steps needed in order to progress towards true civilization.
Eventually they developed the ability to live both in and out of the water. This allowed them to develop new tecnologies faster.
Once they had advanced to the point where space travel was possible they built ships and explored all the systems within reach. As they advanced, learned to build better vessels and met with and interacted with other races they developed into a kind of pirate, merchant class.
Now they could put the Ferengi to shame with their ability to not only turn a profit, but smile while pulling not only a double cross but stealing every thing not nailed down.
One of the first races they had dealings with was the Rumaiy. They were also the only race that they had never cheated. It was the Rumaiy's idea to form a union for the express idea of provideing each other with support. It took a while but the end result was the Free Trade Union.
Government
The Dahri have a council form of government. In order to earn a seat on the council each applicant must own at least 1 Slaver class ship. This is a light cruiser. All the members of the council meet this requirement. A persons position on the council is determined by the number of ships he owns.
FTU Membership
They are one of the 2 original founding races of the FTU. It was the Rumaiy's idea to form the FTU and after a long series of talks they eventually agreed on the basic rules under which the new coallition would operate.
Description
These bald humanoids have hands with 3 long tentacle like fingers. They also have about a dozen tentacles growing on their face around their mouth. They are a strange blend of octupus and humanoid. They all like to wear large brimmed hats to shade their eye's from the sun. They also like to wear large coats, loose pants and boots.
Physiology
They have a soft skeleton. It allows their bones to bend a lot with out breaking. Their internal organs are protected by the fact that they are very elastic. In fact they can squirm their whole body through an opening less than half their true body size.
Psychology
They think anything is ok if it makes them a profit. After all they are the best. Everyone else just wish's they were as cool and trust worthy as they are.
