The Cullum became traders and explorers early in their history, reaching the stars of their neighboring systems about the same time as the [[Senali]] were reaching theirs. The Cullum people are essentially a loosely grouped band of traders and merchants. They are fanatically interested in haggling and trading with other species. | The Cullum became traders and explorers early in their history, reaching the stars of their neighboring systems about the same time as the [[Senali]] were reaching theirs.

Cullum can be encountered throughout the [[Par'tha Expanse|Expanse]], though they are more likely to be seen on technologically advanced worlds or in spaceports or recreation centers. There are Cullumtowns in just about every metropolis in the Par'tha Expanse, and Cullum-owned businesses are not unusual in the [[Freeworlds Region]], even in the face of Imperial anti-alien sentiments. Cullum are in the majority on Calavar, and dominate its political agenda. | Cullum can be encountered throughout the [[Par'tha Expanse|Expanse]], though they are more likely to be seen on technologically advanced worlds or in spaceports or recreation centers.

Once introduced to some type of game of chance, a fever seems to come over a Cullum.
