Quapendai

One of the two planets that form the double-planet Qufiil, the current home planet of the Faulfenza.

Overview

Technologically advanced, with sleek ships and clean cities; they learned their lessons about pollution and overuse on Quzen. The Seekers are dedicated to finding the Others and the Lost Kin; they have no military, but only a scientific body that crews their fleet of exploratory vessels. The only "weapons" on these vessels are for dealing with debris, since the Faulfenza have never warred with each other, or anyone else.

The person who is in charge of Quapendai is the Qufiilzafir, or WorldDancer.

Original Historical Notes (No Longer Strictly Canonical)

(Pulled this out of a Patreon post and did a little light editing; note that it may be out of date, as the Patreon post calls them "original notes" from over twenty years ago.)

One of two current homeworlds of the Faulfenza, along with Quafiirla. The two planets are part of an true double-planet system referred to collectively as Qufiil, and is known to be geologically unstable in the very long term. These planets became the species' homeworld after their original homeworld, Quzen, was rendered uninhabitable due to overpopulation and poor resource management.

Both planets were/are .5 g heavier than ours; Quzen was 2/3 water, and has bred powerful swimmers.

Quapendai, the Seeker's Planet, is technologically advanced, with sleek ships and clean cities; they are very careful having learned their lesson the first time.

The First Favored Dancer, ruler of the Seeker's planet, coordinates with the OverDancer the fostering of the technological youth. They are fostered so that they can gain a sense of their tradition, their history and old-culture. From about 40 yrs. to 60 yrs (their adolesence), before they return if they wish to the technological planet.

Dedicated to finding new peoples (this is called the First Objective); their 'military' is really a scientific body that is given an artificial chain of command to maintain order. Ships have the following line of command (their equivalents in english are listed for the most part)

1. FireKeeper, or Faulfiirla (Captain)
2. Fire'Feeder', or Faulpendai (Commander)
3. Life Science Advisor -- Space Science Adviso and Crew Advisor -- Home Advisor
4. Crew (mostly composed of scientists, engineers, diplomats, cultural attaches, and counselors)

Faulfiirla are in general the most steeped in the ways of their people, as they are expected to be the first to which aliens speak to (thus the importance that they represent the best of their race).

All vessels are exploratory in nature; their only weapons are for moving asteroids and the like. They have never warred with others.
