Homeworld: Rumaiy II
History
The Dahri originated in the salt water oceans that cover most of the surface of their homeworld. It was here that they learned the use of tools, language and the other basic first steps needed in order to progress towards true civilization.
Eventually they developed the ability to live both in and out of the water. This allowed them to develop new tecnologies faster.
Once they had advanced to the point where space travel was possible they built ships and explored all the systems within reach. As they advanced, learned to build better vessels and met with and interacted with other races they developed into a kind of pirate, merchant class.
Now they could put the Ferengi to shame with their ability to not only turn a profit, but smile while pulling not only a double cross but stealing every thing not nailed down.
One of the first races they had dealings with was the Rumaiy. They were also the only race that they had never cheated. It was the Rumaiy's idea to form a union for the express idea of provideing each other with support. It took a while but the end result was the Free Trade Union.
Government
They are controled by the 1,000 noble houses. Each house has it's own troops, ships and agendas. They are always competeing against and plotting against each other. Most off world activities are conducted by a single noble house. However one of the few things that all the houses agreed to was the creation of the FTU.
FTU Membership
They are one of the 2 original founding races of the FTU. It was the Rumaiy's idea to form the FTU with the Dahri and after a long series of talks they eventually agreed on the basic rules under which the new coallition would operate.
Description
These humanoids alway conceal their faces with a number of layers of iridescent gauze. They also wear gloves to hide their hands. They have worked extremely hard to maintain the secret of what they really look like. From what can be seen they have 4 fingers and a thumb. They have the same basic outline of most humanoids. They wear loose flowing clothes with many hidden pockets and other concealed pouch's.
Physiology
They have never allowed any medic from any race to examine them. They all wear a scrambleing device that blocks and sends false readings to any and all scanning devices includeing medical scanners.
Psychology
Many consider them to be not only shifty, sneaky and cunning but to also be extremely dangerous as well. They keep their secrets extremely well. No outsiders have ever been allowed to set foot on their world. Not and lived to tell about it.
Religion
They tell all off worlders that they believe in a god who controls every aspect of their world. It is because of these belief's that no off worlder is allowed to set foot on the planet. It would be in violation of their religion. This is also the reason why off worlders are never allowed to see or scan them.
This is false. They have no god, no religion and no belief's other than that they will one day control all the other races by any means nessassary.
Mythology
They have none but tall other races that the myths and religious stories are forbidden to be told to out siders. They think it adds to the mystery that surrounds their race.
Society
Every member of their race belongs to one of the 1,000 noble houses. Plotting against the other houses is a full time pastime only surpassed by plotting to overthrow and control all the other races around them.
Culture
They have never revealed any to off worlders.
Customs
They have never revealed any to off worlders.
Technology
They are of average tecnological ability except when it comes to small scrambleing devices and other very small devices such as bombs, poison dispencers, scanners, lock picks, lock deactivaters and data copiers. These devices and others of a similar nature are all of advanced design.
Military
Every one of the 1,000 noble houses have their own warships, freighters, soldiers, agents and agendas. For the most part the ships are very similar regardless of which house owns them. The break down is as follows for warships, then freighters. Cruiser, destroyer, frigate and then large freighter, small freighter and a transport ship.
Infantry units are usually 1,000 strong.
