Their argumentative skills even encompassed their politics and surprisingly provided for a peaceful government. The planetary ruling body consisted of a congress of delegates which represented the various traditionally based nation states. There was no executive branch within the Tellarite government which meant that all important matters were resolved by simple majority vote amongst the delegates. However, such votes often involved extensive debates even before the process began which consisted of loud, though never violent, arguments. Once the matter was settled, the arguments were quickly forgotten and business continued within the government. | |||

Tellarites were well known for their engineering skills with their talent being renowned throughout the Federation. The basis for this trait was due to the necessity that their ancestors had in finding sources of fresh water and thus involved the use of deep drilling. This allowed them to construct large scale irrigation projects that increased the amount of agricultural land available to them which further allowed for the construction of massive hydroponic farms in order to support their large settlements. These traits made them skilled miners and builders with them being able to find not only industrial minerals but even precious metals in locations that other engineers were incapable of conceiving. | |||

Historically during the 22nd century, Tellarites armed their torpedo warheads with sirillium and they have been warp drive-capable since at least the 1950s. | |||
Tellarites have always excelled at engineering. In fact they have some of the best terraforming engineers in the Federation. This is due to their experience in large scale irrigation projects, land reclamation, hydroponics construction and resource acquisition. | |||
Currently they are on par with most of the more advanced Federation member worlds when it comes to technology but they seem to still have a definite edge over many other species when it comes to engineering. | |||
