Argelian: Difference between revisions

This pleasure-loving cultural trait makes it necessary to import administrative officials from other worlds to maintain order. This pacifist philosophy almost resulted in a planetary judicial crisis when in 2267 three murders were committed, a crime for which the punishment would have been death by slow torture due to laws from before the Awakening. Fortunately the Argelians did not have to execute anyone as the murderer turned out to be a non-humanoid lifeform identified as the [[ma:Redjac|Redjac]] entity.

The Argelians have little ability or desire for administration and usually hire outworlders for most low and mid level government jobs. Those that have proven themselves as both trustworthy and efficent then get promoted to senior positions. If someone proves to be unable to preform the tast they were hired to do then they are usually fired and shipped offworld on the first available transport.

They appear to be terrans with the same amount of variety in height, weight, eye and hair color. Unlike terrans they are all caucasion. Some Argelians possesses psychic powers, but it is not a common characteristic to this race.  

A society devoted to peace and pleasure. The resorts of Argelius are known for their warm hospitality, good food, and virtually nonexistant crime rate. The people themselves seem to be very laid back, relaxed and dedicated to enjoying the pleasures of the flesh.  

Since the '''Great Awakening''' they have developed a greater respect and love of the finer arts. Music seems to hold the favoured top position but various other art forms are also practiced. While it may not be considered an art form the many years dedicated to the creation and formation of the many large and elaborite gardens has resulted in a true tourist magnet.

Since the '''Great Awakening''' over 300 years ago they no longer have any military forces. Prior to that their were a large number of small, highly agressive, well armed and much used miniture armies.
