History

Due to harsh conditions and high levels of various toxins and other normally poisonous checmicals on the planet all life forms developed in such a way as to be immune to the various toxins and poisons. All plants and creatures have these toxins and poisons to one degree or another.

This includes the Alvanians who eventually evolved as the dominant life form. While they took much longer to develop on their world, the lack of any social or political strife allowed them to advance technologically at a steady rate.

As a result they went from hunter/gathers to an industrial people in less than 500 years.

By the 22nd century they had achieved warp drive and soon after achieved provisional federation status. Since then, their technology advancement has slowed to a bare trickle and is more focused on development of different and usually alcoholic substances for trade with other cultures.

Description

For the most part they appear to by typical humanoids along the lines of terrans. That is except for their skin tone which is a very dark shade of light purple. Their eye's are also different being completely yellow in appearance except for a single black dot in the center. They all have black hair which they wear long.

Physiology

While having the appearance of normal humanoids, Alvanians vary greatly from other humanoids. The first major difference is in regards to their stomachs, in which they have two instead of the traditional one. Also, they have a highly advanced liver which is extremely efficient in the absorption and detoxification of foreign substances. As a result of this, Alvanians have a very complex diet, but in return have a high resistance to the many poisons and toxins in the native foods and drink.

Culture

While being known for Alvanian Brandy, the Alvanian's primitive culture revolved around their imbibement of many different substances for various occasions. It has been theorized that this the reason for their somewhat unique physiology.

Technology

They enjoyed about 750 years of steady progressive growth technologically but this ended once they had made contact with other species. Since then, their technology advancement has slowed to a bare trickle and is more focused on development of different and usually alcoholic substances for trade with other cultures. Now they tend to trade for any new tech that they want.

Economy

They produce a large number of exotic beverages, the most well know of which is Alvanian Brandy. Fortunately the process used to create these drinks removes all the toxins and poisons. For most of their history these drinks have been an important part of their culture. Now they form the basis of their export trade.

Military

They have no military at all but have developed a police force that can and does patrol the entirety of the Hromi Cluster. This force is equiped with about 2 dozen frigate class ships that they purchased from the Andorians. The tech level of these vessels is the equal of anything outside Starfleet within the Federation.

Federation Intelligence Files

Wildlife tends to be widely varying and dangerous to off worlders due to their low tolerance of poisons. Examples of creatures on this planet are; Alvanian Bees and Alvanian Tree Sloths

Other planet information:

Alviania viewed from space appears to be a dense rainforest with few seas and oceans. With few open water areas, much of the planet's water remains underground in the form of springs. The climate as such, Alvanians try their best to live with the environment instead of conforming it to their own needs.
