History
They started out as a hunter/gatherer society that lagged behind in technology until contacted by Captain Garth of the starship Izar in 2240. Allowed entry into the Federation under a 'grandfather clause' of the Prime Directive that allowed interaction with cultures contacted prior to General Order One.
The Aaamazzarites are a secluded race and few ever leave their world. Likewise, few people from other worlds ever visit.
Government
Oligarchy. Leader is called the 'Prime'. The Prime occupies any and all levels of government and sets all policy for Therbian people. This includes relations with other planets, the Federation, and individual communities on the homeworld.
Description
They appear to be hairless humanoids with a pale waxy yellow complexion. they have large heads with bifurcated craniums and deep set eyes that are shielded by their heavy brow ridge.
Physiology
They are a humanoid species distinguished by large bald, bulbous, ridged heads. Though they do not look like it, the Aaamazzarites bodies function much like that of many types of spiders. They are able to biochemically create a substance that they use to create clothing, furniture, and other items used in daily life. This chemical and the resulting 'silk' is spun from their mouths. They posses a second stomach where this biochemical resides.
Reproduction is accomplished through means other than live birth. It is believed that they produce eggs that they then guard and protect until they hatch.
Psychology
Unknown
Religion
They have a rich pantheon of gods and heroes that are quasi-historical.
Mythology
Rich and deep, only recently segregated from religion and history.
Society
For many years, a caste system has been in place. There are three main castes: Religious, Artists, and Worker. These 3 caste's have numerous smaller subdivisions with the largest caste by far being that of the workers. Each caste has its own laws and traditions. Society is generally matriarchal, and usually, but not always, the eldest female of the caste is in charge. Though this is a ridged system, there is no stigma associated with belonging with any caste.
Culture
The culture of this species revolves around their long history and is heavy in art and storytelling.
Customs
Each individual caste has their own customs and workers take great pride in their creations.
Technology
They were a primitive people who were contacted prior to gaining the ability to traverse space. They were first seen in Federation installations as per Federation records AAA-07483-99213 after recieveing the technology needed for space flight from a Terran contact.
Everything on Aaamazzara is created from their biochemical ability to spin chemicals much like many various types of spiders in order to produce anything that they need. It is in this way that they build their homes, clothing and furniture. They sort of spin or generate the material from their bodies using its chemicals which are then released from their mouths.
The few starport and transport facilities are ground based and were built useing a combination of their own abilities and material that they were able to trade for. As a result, there is nothing in orbit of the planet. Only extremely basic, emergency repairs are available to starships that can land on the planet.
Economy
Unknown
Military
They have no known military or planetary defences.
