::''"We are lost, adrift in the cosmos, a people with no history, no soul, no connection to the universe around us so we search, seeking our origins."'' | |||
:::a Invernian proverb. | |||
:The Invernian are a species constantly in search of their own origins. Transplaneted to their current world by some unknown species ages ago, they call them the ''Josainari'' (literally, "Originators" in their language)). Most of their species spends their entire lives in search for either the world they came from or the species that moved them. | |||

When Invernian children reach the age of 13 Standard Years old, the Age of Exploration, their family and friends celebrate a ritual called ''Jotsolta'', the Rite of Expedition. At the end of the rite, they set off to explore the galaxy, beginning their own search for the ''Josainari''. Most often, when the family's eldest child celebrates the ''Jotsolta'', the parents also return to the search following the week-long ceremony. | ||

However, due to the complications that creating an infrastructure for technological redesign and application would add to their goverment, they very rarely embrace the adoption of new technologies into the primary Invernian society at Ha'aijosa. Therefore, in practice most Invernian technologies are either stagnant or updated as needed by the specific user. | ||
Before the achievement of faster than light travel, Invernian society focused nearly all of its resources on research. However, once they achieved their goal, all research stopped and the current policy on technology was adopted. | Before the achievement of faster than light travel, Invernian society focused nearly all of its resources on research.

While they do not tend to be interested in anything except the search for the "Josainari" a few have been known to become involved in other activities. However even then they are still primarily interested in the search for any information, no matter how small that may help in the search. One notable exception is [[Zita Sesilia]] who joined Starfleet and served on the [[USS Independence-A]] for a while. | |||
