Due to the unique nature of their dual star system and the unusual properties that seem to function like a sub-space sandbar making warp travel extremely difficult their existence was unknown until recently. | Due to the unique nature of their dual star system and the unusual properties that seem to function like a sub-space sandbar making warp travel extremely difficult their existence was unknown until recently. | ||
This had a positive affect on their development. With no outside influences they were able to develop at a better than average rate. The only interference with this progression was as a result of the competitiveness of the various different regions. Each of these regions developed independently of each other and use to have their own customs, manners and political systems. Over time they slowly grew together into a single united world but it was not an easy or peaceful progression. Periods of conflict and social upheaval were wide spread and frequent at times. | This had a positive affect on their development.

The mid-wife lights special sweet smelling oil incense that releases endorphins into the air, putting all in the room at ease. Next, the mother is propped up with pillows under her legs and back. Then the Derma is poured on the mother, which numbs the area, allowing the infant to exit smoothly. The Mid-Wife now begins to palpate around the womans middle to insure the baby is in the proper position. While doing this, she chants a poem in the Ancient Laudean language. The poem is lyrical and sounds like a lullaby; in fact the poem is about the first birth, according to Laudean creation myths. She continues to repeat the chant until the baby has emerged. The umbilical cord is then cut using a conventional laser scalpel. The Mid-Wife then blesses the baby by placing the symbol for welcome on the infant's forehead, bringing the ritual to a close. | The mid-wife lights special sweet smelling oil incense that releases endorphins into the air, putting all in the room at ease.
