Ash'lie: Difference between revisions

It was because of these observations and the subsequent debates among the representatives in their government that they adobted an isolationist attitude. While they still travel among the stars they avoid contact with all other races. In fact they seldom leave their own solar system any more.  

While the concept of war and violence is totally alien to them they learned that other races could and would employ force. This resulted in further debates. The result was the creation of a completely automated defence system.  

They are a very hardy species with very few illness's and tend to be exceptionally healthy. This may be due to their vegetarian diet or the large amount of exercise they get on a daily basis.

They have a peaceful society geared towards harmony and love towards all liveing things. They spend their lives in search of an even greater understanding of their world around them and in the hopes of creating or participateing in the wonder to be found in art, song and music.

Music of many types and instruments of all kinds are used by them for recreation. This will usually result in danceing and singing. They express themselves with many types of art and enjoy visual beauty, especially that which can be found in nature. This is also the only off world products they are interested in.  

Their technology is highly advanced. They grow their buildings out of a pastel building material that resembles crystal. Most of their buildings are tall graceful towers. Some of the towers in their cities stand as tall as 5,000 meters. Travel between towers can be achieved in a couple of methods. First are the bridges. Almost every 10 levels will have at least one bridge connecting it to another tower. These bridges are wide enough for two to walk beside each other and have no railings. They can be as long as 100 meters and are usually semi- transparent. The other method is small 1 meter by 1 meter floating platforms that are activated and controled by foot pressure on the surface of the platform. These devices are flat with no railings, about 6 inches thick and can travel very rapidly from ground level to the highest point in the city or from one end of the city to the other.   

They have an extremely effective, none polluteing, renewable energy source that can be built into incredibly small devices such as the flying platforms, weapons systems and even larger ones that provide power to each tower.  

For transport craft they mave many. All are sleek, graceful, fast and highly manouverable. For space craft they now use what looks like a graceful yacht. It is usually powered by a majestic set of solar sails. However these can be rapidly retracted to allow for a much more rapid form of transport.

===Personnel Protection===

When ever any member of this race goes off world for any reason they take with them 3 flying disks. These disks are almost 1 meter round. One disk will have a series of what looks like antenna projecting from the bottom of it. This is a shield drone. The other two will have a pair of linked blaster weapons on a single arm protrudeing from the bottom of it. These are weapon drones. They are extremely intelligent and are programmed to protect and obey their controler.

===Onworld Protection===

Built into the roof of every tower are holding tubes for the small weapons disks. Hidden in underground hangers are thousands of the larger disks just waiting to be activated. Added to that is the fact that any time an alien is allowed to set foot on the planet he has 3 disks assigned to him. However they are not for defense. They are to guard, detain and if nessassary eliminate the visiter.
