It is possible that the Edo may be a transplanted race since they are governed by a transdimensional craft that the Edo worship as their god. This super-entity is in orbit around the planet, even today. In the distant past, the Edo were a lawless and chaotic people, through time they developed a legal system with the help of their God where a small number of "mediators" patrol randomly selected "punishment zones" where any infraction, even if accidental, results in immediate execution without appeal. | It is possible that the Edo may be a transplanted race since they are governed by a transdimensional craft that the Edo worship as their god.

By the 2390s, the Edo have joined the space-faring community, having engaged at least with the [[Betazoid]] people before being welcomed into the [[United Federation of Planets]], supposedly having a more direct involvement with their God and mediators.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-invicta/uApAMt-dMfw/SYsBUZEzPBgJ ''"Three's Company"''], Lt A.DeVeau, {{USS|Invicta}}, | Leaving Rubicun III was banned for the Edo for a long time. Eventually they would find colonies on other planets in the region of space claimed by their God. At some point in the 2980s, the Edo wishing to visit other worlds could apply for a permit. The need for a permission was dropped somewhere in the 2390s, although very few opted to leave.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-excalibur/c/4a9_WCE7_gI/m/5TKStwA3FgAJ Longing for the Paradise], Ens.

They abide by randomly mobile punishment zones to keep would-be offenders alert under penalty of a swift execution. Since the "punishment zones" are randomly chosen and rapidly changing, the system is a powerful incentive to obey all laws. The Edo welcome visitors openly as long as they conform to their system of justice. The Edo system of justice acknowledged only one punishment among them for any crime: execution with a poisoned syringe. Randomly mobile punishment zones kept would-be offenders alert and the Mediators dispensed punishment for any violations in the punishment zones. | They abide by randomly mobile punishment zones to keep would-be offenders alert under penalty of a swift execution.

Since an incident with a [[Starfleet]] crew, penalties for certain crimes has lessened somewhat - the Edo considered this to be a tumultuous period, but otherwise productive.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-invicta/pqETUFox1YM/INCmUGpdAMcJ ''"Penalties"''], Farquan, {{USS|Invicta}}, | Since an incident with a [[Starfleet]] crew, penalties for certain crimes has lessened somewhat - the Edo considered this to be a tumultuous period, but otherwise productive.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-invicta/pqETUFox1YM/INCmUGpdAMcJ ''"Penalties"''], Farquan, {{USS|Invicta}}, 239207.08</ref> | ||

The Edo are very homogenous species, with little racial or ethnic diversity among them. Diseases are also rare among the Edo, which is why medical professionals are only in low demand on Rubicun III.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/5liUqXuygag/m/-2HIklUpAgAJ ''"Upwards We Go"''], Ens.

The Edo have slightly higher preferred temperature compared to humans, for example. This might cause some Edo to feel slightly chilly in standard Starfleet room temperature, although the difference is not as prominent as it is to species like [[Vulcan]]s or [[Cardassian]]s.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-excalibur/c/PLRuIbdi-HE/m/LB5hODK5AQAJ This place is kinda cool], Ens.

Hugs are often shared between family members and friends as well as strangers. A hug is often used as a typical greeting, but hugs are also given for whatever reason.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-excalibur/c/7kEnWdTa-zo/m/Tb10SFZLBAAJ The best hug in ages], Ens.

During typical handshakes, the contact would linger longer than most other cultures. This would often make people from other cultures uncomfortable due to the intimacy of the gesture.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-arrow/c/PJ8mP9yS094/m/sYX1DfPFAAAJ ''"Sugar and Spice"''], Ens.
