==Description==
==Description==
Physically, Rylans are virtually identical to [[Terran|Humans]]. They are mammals that stand about 5’4” to 6’2” tall. Like most other humanoid species they have four limbs (two legs, two arms). Their skin color ranges from pinkish to dark brown, with many variations in between. Distinguishing them from Humans is the bare tops of their heads, their hair only appearing around the sides and back. Hair color ranges from white to silver, even in the youngest Rylans.

==Religion==
==Religion==
The Rylans believe in the divinity of the Sisters of Knowledge, the three wise women who created the Rylans and gifted them with fire, water and reason. The three components needed for them to have learned, developed and become who and what they are.  
With the Rylan pursuit of knowledge and science, the idea of an organized religion has largely gone by the wayside. Though small groups may exist, their beliefs are varied, and none are recognized by society at large.


==Mythology==
==Mythology==
They have a large, almost vast data base of legends, myths and tales that explain how the Sisters of Knowledge educated and taught their ancient ancestors the first important lessons of survival, communication and discovery.

==Culture==
==Culture==
They have almost as big a thirst for all forms of artistic expression as they do for new knowledge. As a result they have numerous museums, galleries and traveling displays. These feature not only works created by themselves but from every species within the Caraadian Empire and many from outside of that empire as well.

==Customs==
All Rylans receive 3 tattoos on the inside of their left forearm. These are of an old woman holding a ball of fire dancing in one hand and pouring out water in the other. Both the fire and the water faintly resemble a young woman.
These three tattoos each represent a different level of educational achievement. Something that every one of them is expected to complete prior to their being considered adults. As they complete each level they receive the appropriate tattoo. First is fire, then water and then the old woman.


==Technology==
==Technology==
The Rylans are easily on par with the Federation in all aspects and in some instances they have surpassed them. This makes them the most advanced species within the Caraadian Empire and many individuals from within that empire travel to their world to be educated at their various universities and institutions there.

==Economy==
==Economy==
Since they are currently considered to be part of the Caraadian Empire they have a fairly strong economy with trade being conducted with numerous different worlds. This has been of great long term benefit to their infrastructure and basic overall quality of life.

==Military==
==Military==
They have built and continue to support a sizeable stellar navy. This is even with the fact that they are currently considered to be a conquered species. The major difference now is that all of the senior officers and all of the infantry support personnel on these ships are Caraadian.  
They had built a sizable stellar navy, which quickly fell to the Caraadians years ago. The Caraadians of House Lanaxa allow the Rylans to build and maintain naval vessels, but they are contributed to the House defense forces.

Within the last hundred years or so, a movement has begun on [[Rylos]] geared towards peaceful exploration, expansion and inclusion within the activities of their Expanse neighbors.
Within the last hundred years or so, a movement has begun on [[Rylos]] geared towards secession. House Lanaxa publicly renounces the Rylans' claim and militarily puts down any show of rebellion, but these actions only serve to fuel the Rylans' hope of independence.
