Their recorded history is over 15,000 years old. In that time they have never fought a war among themselves, crime is almost unheard of and they have developed at a slow even pace. They first developed space travel over 2,000 years ago but few ever went to the stars. Those that did traveled and observed from a distance the races and worlds around them. During this period they left satellites in orbit of any world that they found interesting, usually those that had some type of life forms on them. | Their recorded history is over 15,000 years old. In that time they have never fought a war among themselves, crime is almost unheard of and they have developed at a slow even pace. Their current form of government was eventually established about 8,470 years ago. One of the first major achievements by this government was the establishment of the planetary environmental protection directives about 7,350 years ago. These established the directives that are still in effect today in regards to protecting the environment, ecology, plants and wildlife. Other than some minor adjustments and modifications made over the years due to technology changes or other factors these rules have basically stayed the same as they were when first agreed to after a 48 year debate. | ||
At some point around 5,830 years ago scientists and other individuals started to notice how their population was starting to affect the planet around them causing many concerns about the viability of the environment and ecology and the very real possibility that they could negatively impact the very laws they had in place to protect their world. What followed was almost 300 years of debate as to how they should and could correct or prevent this from happening. In the end the solution that they agreed upon was the development of mandatory population control with a maximum of 3 billion being the number of individuals felt to be well within the safety zone to ensure no negative impact on the planet. Since their current population was over 5 billion a restriction of only once child per family was established until the correct number could be reached. | |||
The next major achievement was the discovery and creation of the crystaline material that could be controlled and shaped as it grew to make all of their buildings, even their living structures. The additional ability to adjust the color of the material as it grows to create different startling visual affects both on the interior and exterior was also greeted with vast and universal enthusiasm by the majority of the population. Over the next 200 years almost 65% of all of their buildings were replaced by the crystaline ones and as they grew old all of the others were also replaced so that by about 3,940 years ago all of their buildings had been replaced and all new construction was only being done using the crystaline material. | |||
They first developed space travel over 2,000 years ago but few ever went to the stars. Those that did traveled and observed from a distance the races and worlds around them. During this period they left satellites in orbit of any world that they found interesting, usually those that had some type of life forms on them. | |||
It was because of these observations, that they discovered what to them was illogical behavior by those they considered to be technically intelligent species. All of them displayed violent, aggressive and savage behaviors and the subsequent debates among the representatives in their government and many of their intellectual leaders regarding those abhorrent species resulted in them adopting an isolationist attitude. While some of them they still traveled among the stars they would avoid contact with all other races. | It was because of these observations, that they discovered what to them was illogical behavior by those they considered to be technically intelligent species.
