Bellheads were discovered during the first expedition beyond the Great Ocean only 27 years ago, which took part during a significant re-structuring of global politics and the rise of Southern democracy. Very few have left their continent, but the ones that have are greatly regarded as an extremely useful asset in tasks requiring precision input, fine motor control, & dexterity. They will be the planet's first people in space.

Kiro first invented writing some 30,000 years ago, and have since undergone a long back-and-forth journey toward building an advanced civilization with global communications. Most of their countries still fall under monarchy, however Southern democracy is starting to spread further, fueling peoples' rights and an advancement on the rights of the working class.

GS - my least developed species. Their planet's atmosphere cannot sustain fire. They will never discover metallurgy, advanced machinery, etc. 'Nuff said.

Galk are the center of my work, and their Angan forefathers form the center of the Known Universe, having been the first advanced civilization to arise within Andromeda. They're Noi's main tool-makers, forming the majority of their industrial work-force. And population. They're intentionally human-like, there're 9 books about it, I will not elaborate further.

Wellers stand out as intelligent enough to be considered as people while lacking the capacity to create and operate advanced technology. Whatever tech they come in contact with is galk-made and -operated. They're legally considered as people to the extent of falling under universal insurance and persons' rights, but have limited capacity for communication and as such hold no space within Hain government.

Leite were the first advanced civilization on Noi. They invented writing, astronomy, and mathematics early on as tools for navigation, and have a long history of domesticating animals for food and resources. They made first contact with galk&weller co-society during their early settler period, after which the three quickly formed a cooperative society within the fjord of Raat, which nowadays serves as the planet's intellectual and technological Capital. They are the most intelligent sophonts within my work.
