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.

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.

Nevertheless, they are free-spirited and extremely welcoming to visitors. Edo greet friends with a deep embrace and, often to the surprise of outsiders, offered themselves sexually to anyone who would accept. It was customary among the Edo to run from place to place instead of walking. They are also immensely proud of their homeworld, some to the point of boasting about it. | Nevertheless, they are free-spirited and extremely welcoming to visitors.

The Edo God has an appearance of a structure, which is normally invisible or transparent even to ship sensors. Closer contact has revealed there are multiple lifeforms aboard the structure, indicating the Edo God is a group instead of a single being. The Edo God considers the Edo to be their children and has been hostile to potential threats to the Edo.<ref>[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Edo_God Edo God], Memory Alpha</ref> | ||
The Edo would occasionally pray to their God. They might continue to do so outside the vincinity of their homeworld, although they also believe the Edo God might not be able to hear them that far.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-excalibur/c/Mlqz2WnxO9o/ If there's no sound in space, can god hear our prayers?], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Excalibur|A}}, 239912.11</ref> | |||

The Edo clothing tends to be minimal.
