==History== | ==History== | ||
The history of the Ga'teran people is one of war, war and war. Tribes vs tribes. Then nations vs nations. Then came the last war. They lost 7/10ths of their total population. Whole regions were depopulated. It was at about this same time that they learned that they were not the only race in the cosmos. Faced with this they were forced to alter parts of their culture. | |||

The smaller continent and its city of Crindoo has a military government that protects and defends not just themselves but the planet as well. The larger continent and its city of Adillee seems to have a council made up of 7 members who between them control the policies and contact with all off worlders. While both governments are totally independant they both control and govern totally different aspects of the overall planetary policies. | The smaller continent and its city of Crindoo has a military government that protects and defends not just themselves but the planet as well.

===Final Justice=== | |||
For most serious crimes their is only one punishment. Death. When someone is found guilty of a serious crime they are taken to an arena which has a large 100 foot circular area that has 2 feet of swamp water floating in it. The stands will hold up to 50,000 people. The convict is released into the arena with no weapons but his bare hands. Then a pack of 7 Rap'ters is released. These giant lizards are smart, cunning, fast, deadly and hunt in packs. No one has ever escaped them. | |||
===First Blood=== | ===First Blood=== | ||
When ever 2 citizens have a disagreement or their is a minor disagreement between groups or tribes it is settled by a form of ritual combat called '''First Blood'''. A single fighter is selected and while they sometimes go and fight in an arena, they are just as likely to select any location that is agreeable to both sides. The 2 combatants meet with no weapons, anything goes but the battle ends when the first blood is lost from the body of the opponent. At this time the fight ends. The winner or his tribe are considered to be in the right and the losers have to accept the final verdict. | |||
===War=== | ===War=== | ||
Any time their is a major disagreement between tribes, factions or any other large grouping of Ga'teran's it is settled by a war. Now days these wars are fought in an arena with rules and limited numbers of warriors on both sides. Usually the teams will be either 5, 13 or 27 to a side. Hand weapons are allowed but no firearms. Both sides must agree on the number, type and size of any and all weapons. Both sides meet and wait till a loud gong is struck. Then they fight till only one side still has any warriors left standing. The winning side is declared the victor | |||
==Technology== | ==Technology== | ||
While they have warp technology most of the planet is pre industrial. Other than transportation which is more advanced and wide spread most of the natives seem to prefer a more hands on existence. A true contradiction in terms they understand and have access to post industrial technology but do not import it or use much of it on the planet surface except for weapons and transportation. The 2 major cities hold the only true manufacturing facilities on the planet. As a rule they do not work in those facilities them selves. They use slave labour for that. | While they have warp technology most of the planet is pre industrial.
