History
Tloxal's Cross was settled by a mixture of British and South American settlers in the era following the beginning of the Federation. It's culture is an odd mix of Native tradition and modern Federation life. Tloxal has proven to be an relatively idyllic world with no history of conflict or violence.
Economy
Federation standard, Colony is self-sufficient and there is no need for a monetary economy.
Tech Level
Modern. Tloxal's Cross, culturally has a deep respect for life and the land. Technology is restricted to the inside of the structures. The buildings are simple looking stone dwellings nestled right inside the trees. Inside, all the ameneties of modern Federation life are present. Outside, the world resembles 14th century South American culture.
Culture
A mixture of modern Federation culture and ancient Native-American tradition. A warrior-based social structure has been turned into a scientist-based social structure with knowledge and accomplishment replacing bravery and combat skill as most prized.
Ceremonial dress includes modern Federation and Starfleet designs as well as ancient ceremonial stylings. A headress featuring Quetzal feathers is common, with more feathers for higher status/accomplishment.
A pastoral world with a rich artistic tradition, Tloxal's Cross uses modern agricultural methods and exports a great amount of food and agro-products offworld. It is not an industrial presence, but is able to create what tools and machines it needs.
Notes
With the exception of the Capital city and four other industrial centers, Tloxal is sparsely populated with an almost uniform scattering of small settlements surrounded by farms and ranches. Cooking is still practised with replicated food making up less than 10% of the diet.
Academic accomplishment is prized and teaching is the most noble profession on Tloxal, above Starfleet service. Govornment is simple and non-intrusive and personal weaponry is limited to knives and bows. There is no native wildlife and Terran forms of plantlife predominate. Only domesticated terran animals exist.
