Name                                     := Hyach
Description                              := Peaceful isolationists with an advanced culture and technology.
Empire Name                              := Hyach
Empire Type                              := Gerontocracy
Emperor Name                             := Loran
Emperor Title                            := Ssshba
Biological Description                   := Basically humanoid, but with an increased encephalization, much like the Shag Toth. More has yet to be forthcoming. 
Society Description                      := The Hyach run a stable and effective government based on a meritocracy of elders or a Gerontocracy. A Grand Council of Elders represents the various cities, towns and rural areas. They advise the head of council or Ssshba; a title that means Oldest of the Old.  There is only one religion; Oshi-ta, the seed of the egg, a serpentine figure symbolising male and female aspects in balance. Oshi-ta tells the Hyach to live long, be wise, and die happy. There are a few fringe cults with different opinions but none of any significance.  Hyach marriage is arranged and very important. Elders of the interested parties arrange the matching having approved family history for compatibility. Love is the first criteria. They are engaged for one year whilst these discussions continue and marriage is celebrated upon approval. . Polygamy is approved of and many Hyach families consist of several sets of husbands and wives. Male and female are considered equal in all aspects of Hyach culture.   The Hyach are not great travellers and most of their race who are seen off-world are there only for a specific purpose, trade, diplomacy, exploration etc.  They generally prefer the company of their own kind or of the Drazi. They do permit visits to their homeworld but outside of embassies, they allow no off-worlders to take up residence there. Exceptions are made for a select few Drazi.   The Hyach consider currency vulgar. They do everything on a barter or credit system.
General History Description              := Hyach Civilisation has existed for 7,000 years. Every facet of life has its time-honoured rituals and these have not changed significantly in 4,000 years. Their rules of order number in the thousands, covering every situation conceivable to the Hyach mind.  The Hyach population has been in decline for over a millennia, ever since they banned intermarriage with the Hyach-doh, a second sentient race that evolved alongside the Hyach. This second race has only recently become public knowledge.   They have been interstellar travellers for nearly 1000 years, but have chosen not to colonise other worlds either inside or outside their Home System.  Their technology; computers, genetics engineering, agriculture, medicine, robotics, communications, and exploration is advanced across the board.  Their ships and weaponry are formidable, however they have shown little interest in conquest.
