Ventaxian: Difference between revisions

A thousand years ago, the Ventaxians had achieved an extremely advanced technological level, but then voluntarily renounced it and reverted to a simple, agrarian existence. Since then, their culture has been peaceful and prosperous, with virtually no social problems as a result of this 1,000 year improvement plan called the "Contract of Ardra.". They panicked in 2367 when a con artist posing as Ardra returned to claim "her" planet until the ''U.S.S. Enterprise'' NCC-1701-D crew successfully revealed her fraud; Captain Picard pointed out that [[ma:Ardra|Ardra]] may likely have been a secret native ruse to help push the reforms. Although agrarian, their capital city still featured tall pyramidal buildings and large public walkways.
