It was only after they started to live on land that they started to develop true technology. They advanced at a fairly even pace. This was further enhanced by the peaceful conditions that prevailed. War was unknown and any disagreements were settled in peaceful co-operation. | ||
Eventually they developed space travel and advanced into space. Soon after this they learned the hard way that not all other species were interested in peaceful trade and harmonious co-existance. They had lost over a dozen ships before one was able to escape and return to explain what was happening. As a result all their ships were recalled and work started on the development of weapons. Fortunately they had fairly good scans of the vessel that had attacted them to work with. | Eventually they developed space travel and advanced into space.

Regardless of their sex all Velorians must undertake the long swim. This is the transition period between child and adult. It takes approximately 4 months to complete. This is undertaken once their sensory tendrils start to grow in on the tops of their heads. This normally occurs at the age of 15. The long swim is just that. They have to swim around their entire world by themselves, ending at the spot they started from. | |||
