Seven in-system planetoids, all having mining systems on them. Three moons around second planet (T'Shar homeworld), also with mining plants. Asteroid field at outer rim of the system. No other moons or planetoids. LAND/WATER RATIO: 47% land/ 53% water CAPITAL: Vehada, Versara Prime -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ECONOMIC SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------------------------- Vehada is a major exporter of computer technology. They specialize in small systems instead of the larger computers used in ship control or major installations. They still have much of the natural wilderness, as once they developed space travel they transferred all of their major industries to space. The T'Shar also have native works that are for sale to those who ask. Apparent technology is low, though in actuality, the T'Shar have developed warp drive by themselves. All of their technological forms of travel are underground so as not to disturb the wilderness above ground. The T'Shar use a currency system on their planet. The main currency is a gold/platinum alloy. There is not much of the currency as the alloy is rare, thus an electronic currency equivilant is also used. If someone wishes, they can have the currency in hard form. Major imports are other electronic systems, such as sensors and the larger computers needed to run major starships. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- GOVERNMENT/HISTORY ----------------------------------------------------------------- The T'Shar are ruled by a Tribal Republic. The Council, as the government is called, is ruled by the heads of the major clans of the T'Shar. Over all of the Clan Matriarchs is the Matriarch herself, the leader of the T'Shar. While the T'Shar are matriarchal, there is some meritocracy in the way things are run. Males can own property and businesses, even if the females of the family already do, however this is not common. The T'Sharan history is one of warfare and strife. They came close many times to wiping themselves out, until they made it into space the first time. Upon that achievement the society quieted down, but they are still somewhat aggressive. The T'Shar are not yet members of the Federation, but their membership is pending. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- RACE/SOCIETY/CULTURE ----------------------------------------------------------------- PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: The T'Shar are best described as 'vulpinoid', or 'fox-like'. Their fur ranges from a strawberry blonde through deep red to slate blue and black. White furred T'Shar are very rare, and are considered blessed. Their eyes range from amber to green, and the pupils are 'cat-slitted'. They are naturally armed with semi-retractable claws and their teeth. AVERAGE HEIGHT: 1.57 meters (5'2") AVERAGE WEIGHT: 90 kilograms (198.4 lbs) SOCIETY: The T'Sharan society is primarily a matriarchy. This is evident in all portions of society. The military has mostly female officers and male enlisted, though there are a few crossovers. The special forces are the only exception, with an even mix of male and female. The T'Shar are a hardy race, able to deal with most societal changes without much effort. They are also very open to other cultures and their interpretations. Evidence of xenophobia is very low, though some individuals still evince it. They are a very gregarious race, and very much enjoy the 'pleasures of life' that are offered. The primary family group is the clan. Effectively a very extended family, or tribe. All members of the clan are responsible for the young, thus if a member of the clan dies, someone in the clan must take in the children if no other parents are left alive. Within the clan are sub-clans, also known as Families. Social structure is as follows: Nuclear family matriarch holds allegiance to the Family Matriarch. The Family Matriarchs hold allegiance to the Clan Matriarch. The Clan Matriarchs hold allegiance to the Matriarch. Males don't marry within the clan. They must travel to another clan and find a mate there. This allows for strengthening the bonds between clans, as well as making sure inbreeding doesn't occur. The T'Sharan religion is very large and complicated. There are over one-hundred deities known, possibly more in smaller cults. Belief is left to the individual and is never forced upon anyone. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Creator(s)/Adaptor(s) Email Address Adrian V.
