History

Pifili Legend

In ancient times the wise ones kept peace on Kallca, while they traveled through the skies. The Pifili were happy and had no worries, but then the wise ones made a mistake and brought the Aarakocra here. We thought they were meant to be food na although some of the early Aarakocra were eaten, my people found them distasteful, too foul to eat. So they were freed and banished to the mountains. We co-existed in peace as long as they stayed in the mountains, but the wise ones were displeased with us for not accepting their gift of food and left us. All we had of them was the stone that we discovered when the wise ones brought the Aarakocra.

Stone of Destiny

My father told me that using the machine we learned how to make the fisheries, and other things we needed. When the wise ones came, they mated with the early Felines, and as far as I know, all Felines are now descendants of the wise ones. So the machine was not hard for us to master, but it was my father who figured out the complexities of sky travel. His dream was to find the wise ones. When the revolution began, my father broke the stone key to higher calculations. He said it was too much temptation for any one person not to destroy the Avians. He put two of the pieces in places where I would have much difficulty getting to them. And in places where the Avians could not find them in case they succeeded in capturing the palace. Theo brought me one of them, and my father entrusted me with one. So now I have in my possession two of the stones. With all three stones I can open the calculations and bring peace back to Kallca, but that would mean the destruction of the Avians, and I don't want to do that.

True History

Kaclla II is the native homeworld of the Pifili. The did not appear until more than 500 years ago. They fell from the sky in enormas vessels that lite up the night sky for hundreds of miles. Over night the world now had 2 totally different intelligent races seeking to survive within 1 ecosystem. Fortunately their needs for survival were sufficently different that they were able to co-exist with fairly minor conflicts that never grew in size or degree.

Government

The Pifili have a hereditary system with the leader of the people being called the Overlord. This individual has supreme authority over the people's lives. The chief advisor is called the Viceroy.

Description

The natives are a feline race who are on average 5' to 6' in height and weight between 175 to 225 lbs. The ears and head are atypical of Earth's domestic cats but with a face that has more human like characteristics. They still have the whiskers, fur and eyes of a feline but the other aspects of their faces appear extremely human like.

The upper body and arms are also humanoid, with the exception of the paws for hands. Even with that these paws do have 2 extra very short joints that allow them to pick things up and perform fairly delicate work when they need to. They have extremely sharp claws that they can retract or extend at will. From the waist down they are totally catlike with muscular legs that give the appearance of being extremely strong and agile. They can walk upright or on all fours with about the same degree of ability.

They are covered all over with fur that ranges in color from white to brown, black to orangish and just about every shade inbetween On most it is short but on the hereditary leaders it grows longer and appears to be more silky in nature. They have tails but these tend to only be a few feet in length.

Federation Intelligance Files

On Stardate 238503.08 Fleet Captain T'Pen and the crew of the USS Challenger visited Kaclla II. This was in response to their request to join the Federation. However members with in the 2 different races liveing on the planet objected to the need for a unified world government first and joining the Federation as well. See Federation Intelligence File CHL-2385-0214.

On Stardate 238608.11 while Fleet Captain T'Pen and the crew of the USS Challenger-A were in orbit a war broke out between the Pifili (Felines) and the Aarakocra (Avians). The war started in space when a single Avian destroyer opened fire on 2 Feline destroyers. In the ensueing battle both sides suffered massive losses. See Federation Intelligence File CHA-2386-0352
