BASIC INFORMATION:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Official Name: Hannians
National Name: Hannians
Title of the Head of Government: Elder (see below)

GEOGRAPHY/POPULATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hannians exist only on the planet 403-A, the only satellite
of the solar system for Star-403, in what is known in Starfleet
records as the Horsehead Nebula.  403-A is an extremely large,
dry planetoid, about ten times the diameter of Terra, in the Sol
system.  The planet consists of mostly weathered igneous rock,
eroded only by the occasional heavy wind storm, and by the sparse
rain found mostly at the poles.  There are many species found on
403-A, but none are apparently sentient except for the Hannians.
Surface scans indicate nearly 1 billion Hannians, with the
population concentrated near the poles.

ECONOMIC SUMMARY
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The economy of the Hannians appears to be based primarily on
subsistence, and trade, when necessary.  Many races had attempted
to contact the Hannians before Starfleet placed a planetary
quarantine, in order to gain access to the wealth of resources on
403-A, but all attempts failed.  Scans indicate that the planet
has some of the highest levels of mineral wealth ever recorded
for a single planet, but no fossil fuels, and little energy
production capability.  The Hannians use precious metals and
crystals for jewelry, which has become the primary mode of wealth
transfer. There are no exports or imports to or from 403-A
because of a quarantine enforced by the Federation of Planets.
Their technology is not highly advanced.

GOVERNMENT/HISTORY
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The governmental structure consists of nomadic tribes that only
rarely interact except for rare trading sessions and mating
purposes.  The average tribe consists of 2000 members, and there
is no apparent hierarchy between tribes. The head of each tribe,
therefore, is identified as the highest ranking member of Hannian
society, and is known as an Elder.  Very little else in known
about either the history of the evolution to the current
governmental system.

RACE/SOCIETY/CULTURE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The culture is highly pacifist, with no apparent wars at any time
between the various tribes.  This may be as a result of their
ability to control the thoughts and visions of other sentient
beings. Whether this is a deterrent to conflict, or an aide to
understanding, is difficult to tell.  This capability has allowed
the Hannians to repel any attacks on the species, with historical
records from many races, including the Klingons, indicating that
the mind attacks were not stopped by defensive measures of the
time.  The average Hannian measures between 2-4 meters in height,
but rarely more than 100 kilograms in weight, with the females
being the larger of the species.  Skin color ranges through
several ranges of grey, as do the eyes and hair of Hannians.  The
language has a musical tone, with four octaves and 35 characters.
Several recordings were made at first contact.  The average
lifespan is unknown, and the away team in charge of first contact
was kept away from any young.  The only example of a Hannian
outside of 403-A, appears to be Iki-May Dieje, a member of
Starfleet whose own background is incomplete, and so a direct
link cannot be made.  *A special note:  Iki-May Dieje was found
on another planet, in an advanced device for suspended animation
that could not be traced to any existing species.  The source of
this device is as yet unknown, but its age was several thousand
years.  This has led to intense debate in Starfleet as to
whether the Hannians may have lost once available technologies.
Requests for archaelogical expeditions have been denied to date.
