{{Shoals}} | |||
The '''Ohanze''' are the native population within the [[Shoals]]. Divided into several tribes, their home system is located in an area dubbed the [[Shadows]] due to the severe {{ma|tetryon}} interference wreaked on sensors and communications. | |||
Although a formal treaty is in place supposedly keeping the peace, the Ohanze have always had a somewhat tense relationship with the colonists of the [[Colonial Coalition]], whom they view as encroaching on their territory, which spans several planetary systems. The Ohanze have also grown resentful of continued pirate and criminal activity, which the natives view as the responsibility of the colonists and the Federation. | |||
== Physiology == | |||
The Ohanze are large non-humanoid lifeforms. They thrive on M-class worlds but can survive in harsher climates than most humanoid life. Their bodies are bioluminescent. They are not telepathic, but their language is difficult for humanoids to comprehend. The Ohanze are genetically incompatible with humanoid lifeforms, and they do not interbreed with non-Ohanze. | |||
== Language == | |||
The Ohanze language is incredibly complex due to their unique anatomy and physiology, and most humanoids are unable to pronounce their words. The Ohanze likewise are unable to articulate most common humanoid languages. Thus, communication with the Ohanze is done extensively through the universal translator, with the devices directly interpreting and "speaking" the words as literal translations into Federation Standard. | |||
Thus there are no "Ohanze" words. Their terms, names of places and people, etc. are simply translated into their literal translation. Ohanze typically also refer to each other by their professions. For instance, an Ohanze individual might simply be referred to in their name by their profession: Pilot, Healer, Priest, etc. | |||
== History == | |||
The Ohanze do not have a single "homeworld" per se, although their myths and legends tell of a supposed mother world in the ancient past where the species and civilization first originated, united as a single nation. | |||
Whether true or not, today's Ohanze are divided into five tribes, four of which hold claim to their own capital worlds in four star systems, and the fifth tribe being purely nomadic in their spacefaring vessels. | |||
The five tribes of the Ohanze are as follows, named for the stars of their capital worlds. | |||
* The Red Sun Tribe: Hailing from a star system with two habitable planets out of six, the Red Sun Tribe are known for their artistry, philosophy, and literature. Many Ohanze legends originated from the Red Sun, passed on to other tribes who modified the stories for their own people. | |||
* The Yellow Sun Tribe: Hailing from a star system with a single habitable planet out of four, the Yellow Sun Tribe is renowned for their scientists, healers, and engineers. | |||
* The White Sun Tribe: Hailing from a star system with two habitable planets out of seven, the White Sun Tribe are a tribe of farmers, fishermen, and tradesmen. | |||
* The Blue Sun Tribe: Hailing from a star system with three habitable planets out of six, the Blue Sun Tribe are a tribe of merchants and traders. They connect the other tribes to one another through commerce. | |||
* The Black Sun Tribe: Named because they have no home star, the Black Sun Tribe are the smallest tribe, living in the Shadows entirely on their fleet of vessels. Their need to survive pushed them to prey on both other Ohanze tribe and non-Ohanze vessels that enter the Shadows for supplies. Early run ins with Terran colonists and other outsiders to the Shoals earned the entire Ohanze race a reputation as formidable, ruthless opponents in battle due to a lack of understanding of the varied tribes and subcultures within the Ohanze. | |||
== The Treaty of Friendship and the Circle of Five Suns == | |||
Before a formal treaty was finally signed between the Circle of Five Suns and the Federation, diplomatic relations were handled between colonists and each individual tribe or even between colonists and individual clan leaders. The Circle of Five Suns was a largely ceremonial body that has become more used for the Ohanze in their dealings with the Federation in the last century. Although the Treaty of Friendship signed in 2327 contributed greatly to improving relations between the Federation and the Ohanze, pirate factions of course paid no attention to the document, and the Black Sun Tribe has only a token representative selected from the small Black Sun community that joined sympathetic Blue Sun Tribe in legitimate trade. | |||

==History== | |||
The Balivari live on the terrestrial moon orbiting the first planet in the [[Seccora system]], though that is as much knowledge as anyone has. The exact location of the [[Seccora system]] still remains a mystery to all, with one exception. The only known Balivari in the populated galaxy is {{n|D'Taeon|Maliin}}, head of [[Balivari Industries]] on [[Illara Prime]]. Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to get an appointment to see him, and then he will only speak about business. That is probably for the best, though, considering their xenophobic natures. | |||
==Government== | |||
Since First Contact has yet to be made with the Balivari, nothing is known of their governmental structure, or if indeed they have one. | |||
==Description== | |||
Evolved from some type of herdbeast or pack animal, the Balivari are long rather than tall. At the shoulder they may reach 150 cm, but from nose to the tip of their tail they range anywhere between 350 cm and 400 cm. Even on younger Balivari, their deep-set eyes look aged and wrinkled; their putty-colored skin looks old, and is deeply lined with runic patterns. Skin colors range from olive green to golden brown. They have no discernible nostrils, though their face is mostly snout. Their faces are thrust forward on long thick necks that are covered with manes of hair. They have two sets of arms, a pair of legs and a tail. When they walk on their two powerful legs, their massive long tails are not heavy enough to counterbalance the weight of their heads. So they walk with a heavy, slightly swaying gait, and the aid of a walking stick held in one of their pairs of forearms, while their hind arms hang down towards the ground. Their garments are something between a coat and a saddle blanket, and the weight only adds to their immensely slow and considered movements. Their incredible longevity gives them no cause to ever rush, for the average lifespan of a Balivari is approximately 800 to 1000 years. | |||
==Physiology== | |||
Since First Contact has yet to be made with the Balivari, little to nothing is known of their physiology, other than what can be surmised from watching {{n|D'Taeon|Maliin}}. | |||
==Psychology== | |||
An extremely xenophobic race, the Balivari attempt to avoid contact with other races if at all possible. They have extensive telepathic and empathic powers, but live an incredibly simple life of peace and contemplation. | |||
