For all their strange appearance and customs, Lorundans are gentle and peace loving. They manifest great respect for all life forms, and disturb their planet's ecology as little as possible. They remain in their floating herds, venturing onto the planet's surface only when necessary. But Lorundans are also curious and gregarious, which is perhaps why they went into space as merchants. As such, they are welcomed almost anywhere. In many systems, the arrival of a Lorunda herd is cause for celebration. | For all their strange appearance and customs, Lorundans are gentle and peace loving.

While Lorundans believe in peaceful coexistence, they also believe in protecting what they hold dear. Starfaring herds employ deflector shields and weapons to suppress smugglers and pirates. They are no match, however, for [[Valcarian Imperial Republic|Valcarian Imperial]] warships. Lorunda itself boasts a highly advanced defensive system, allowing the planet-bound herds to travel armament free. | While Lorundans believe in peaceful coexistence, they also believe in protecting what they hold dear.

While many skills are needed to keep the herds going, most Lorundans opt for training in the agricultural, artistic, or diplomatic fields, in addition to mercantile and spacefaring occupations. Many even choose to become ecological priests, serving the "Mother Jungle" and preserving nature on Lorunda. | ||

The people or Lorunda practice a communal form of government. Each herd is autonomous and self-supporting. Once every Lorundan season (about five standard years), the herds gather for "the Meet." A grand sight for off-worlders to witness, the Meet draws tourists from all over. The herds join one to another in a regal ceremony that resembles a majestic dance above the jungle. At the Meet, storytellers spin tales of wonder, families honor longstanding commitments, couples exchange marriage vows, and Lorundans in general debate their place in the galaxy. Any space herds in the vicinity participate, but smaller versions of the Meet are held in space for those Lorundans far from the planet when the "Time of Meeting" comes. | The people or Lorunda practice a communal form of government.

The space herds trade with the [[Valcarian Imperial Republic|Valcarian Empire]], the Houses of the [[Par'tha Expanse]], and the [[Freeworlds Region]], but wish to avoid trouble. They have no reason to favor one above the other, so long as they are allowed to continue their activities in peace. The Hanali system is too far outside of Valcarian controlled space to be under the jurisdiction of the Empire. The Lorundans were a major trade partner of the Romulan Star Empire at one point, until the time of the Romulan isolation. The Romulans have yet to return to the area. | The space herds trade with the [[Valcarian Imperial Republic|Valcarian Empire]], the Houses of the [[Par'tha Expanse]], and the [[Freeworlds Region]], but wish to avoid trouble.
