Kan'da'harian: Difference between revisions

The Kan'da'harian home world of [[Kan'da'har I]] is in the [[Serellan Sector]] of space.

==History==

===Klingon contact===

After the Klingons discovered this world they contacted the natives. Attempts were made to turn the native population into an effective work force. It was soon determined that they would be useless. Their religion with all it's strange rules, customs and practices made it impossible. Regardless of age or sex, any action that threatened their religious beliefs instantly brought out the knives.  

===Before and after===

The Kan'da'har are a strange race. They seem to be 100% stagnant race with no changes being made in their society. Even with their contact with the Klingon race and exposure to off world items and technology they have not changed. Their religion will not allow them to buy or use anything not made by members of their own race. In fact if anyone is found with an off world item they are brought before a religious court. The usual result is death by stoneing.  

Documents copied and translated by the Klingon high command confirm that their has been no major and very few minor changes in their society in over 500 years.  

==Government==

   

Males and females appear to be very similar in size and weight. On average they range in height from 5'4" to 5'10" and weight on average between 150 lbs to 180 lbs. They also have no external ears or nose. Only slits that serve the same functions.

==Physiology==

===Birth===

This is a special food developed and produced by the priests. It will cause the child to develop into either a male or a female.  

==Psychology==

The Kan'da'har do not seem to suffer from any strange mental problems other than an unreasoning hatred of anyone who does not obey the rules and laws of their religion. This does not include off worlders as the priests of all three tribes have agreed that they have no souls and can not be saved.  

==Religion==

They call them selves the Sons of the Qu'Ran. Religion is the major motivating factor in their day to day lives. It is also the basis for their centuries long warfare with the other tribes. Each tribe interpits their religion in a slightly different manner, a manner the other 2 tribes consider unacceptable. These differences are grounds for violent and deadly outbursts.  

These 3 tribes all follow the same religion but with slight variations that have resulted in centures of deadly warfare being fought between them. They all live in settled communities on river banks or close to where they can easily drill wells for water.

==Culture==

While similar the 3 tribes do have different celebrations or methods of celebrating the different major religious holidays.  

==Customs==

When a child reaches the age of 2 they are taken to a priest. The ritual that they now undergo is called the Choice. It is at this time that the spirit of the child picks which sex it shall be. The priests assist this by offering the child 2 different bowls of food. Both look and smell identical. Only the childs spirit can tell which will make it male or female.

==Technology==

They are a primative race in many ways. They understand the use of irrigation, windmills and crop rotations to keep the earth rich and the breeding of better livestock.  

They understand metalurgy and craft many types of tools and high quality items as well. Part of this includes the design and making of weapons. They fight mainly useing edged weapons but do have single shot rifles which are effective at supriseingly long ranges. All these weapons are incredible works of art with lots of time spent on detail and artful details.
