Antosian: Difference between revisions

However about 480 years ago they were invaded by the Egans. They did not resist at this time. They suffered under a military dictatorship for close to 50 years before they rose up and fought back. It took them 5 years but in that time they not only drove the invaders off their homeworld but pushed them back to their own homeworld. The war ended when they had destroyed every ship, production facility and major city on the Egans homeworld.

The world is divided up into various regions. Each region has a representative on the central council. This council has 11 members and will debate and then vote on any and all issues. These deliberations are broadcast and can be viewed by anyone onworld. Also any citizen may bring an issue to the attention of the council or speak on any issue in front of the council.

The Antosian people are tall slim humanoids who stand on average 5'10" to 6'6". The one feature that everyone notices first about them is their hair. It is past shoulder length on men and women and ranges in color from blue and green to purple. While the color range covers all possible shades or combinations of these colors they tend to be mostly bright in nature vergeing on neon. Strangely enough the individuals eye color will always match their hair color exactly.

Their sense of taste is so sensative that they can easily tell the difference between natural foods and that created useing a replicator. As a result they tend to refuse to eat foods that are not 100% natural.

They tend to be very curious and like to experiment. They will try just about anything at least once. On the whole they are a very friendly race. No records exsist to show any of their people who have ventured off world suffering from any form of mental difficulty. They have the reputation for being free spirits and thrill seekers.

They have no true formal religion, however they do believe that those that have passed on are reborn. As a result both funerals and birthings are times of great celebrations.  

No true myths altho various heroes of the Egan Rebellion have gained certain aspects of worship with statues and memorials to their deeds.  

Everyone is friendly and helpfull to any and all other members of their race. This aspect of their society is also extended in a limited way to outsiders. A true co-operative species who can and will overcome any difficulty because they know that together they can achieve any goal.

Pleasure in all it's forms are the driveing force behind their race. They enjoy art, music, dance, social gatherings, celebrations, wine, food, thrill seeking and trying new things. Almost any thing can be an excuse for a party, as long as it includes most of the above items.

They have warp drive technology that is close to that employed by the Federation. Any of their vessels that have been seen are always well designed. They seem to be designed both for visual enjoyment but also for comfort. They do not have transporter or replicator technology. Some interest has been shown in transporter tech but none for replicator tech. In fact they prefer real food to anything materealized out of a replicator as they claim it ruins the taste.

They are totally self sufficent and import very little. What they do import tends to be luxury items like exotic foods, rare wines, expensive cloths and unique novelty items or devices that they have taken an interest in.

The Antosians military vessels are a wonder to look upon. They have been designed to look asthetically pleaseing with gentle flowing lines that seem to convey the image of great speed and power. The most common ships are frigates, destroyers and cruisers. They have 1 dreadnaught which serves as the flagship of their small fleet.
