The Hawlat are a nomadic species that wandered on space following the creatures they call Angels, after a period of what they call, dark past, these Angels were seen as a sign of good fortune and thus they began building ships to follow them into what was believed to be a path for a better future. That led them through space to different systems along the Delta quadrant, finding other species, some peaceful, others, not so much, suffering loss of ships and pilgrims along the way. Despite that, they managed to follow these Angels waiting for a signal to tell them that their journey has ended to settle somewhere where they'll have a brighter and peaceful future. | The Hawlat are a nomadic species that wandered on space following the creatures they call Angels, after a period of what they call, dark past, these Angels were seen as a sign of good fortune and thus they began building ships to follow them into what was believed to be a path for a better future.
