Abh

The Abh, also known as the Carsarh Gereulacr or Kin of the Stars, are a subspecies of human which were originally artificially created humanoids. They were created for longterm space exploration in place of humans by a nationalistic group of japanese descent. Once they roamed space as merchants. Now they live throughout the Milkyway Galaxy within their own territory of the Humankind Empire of Abh.

Physical characteristics
The Abh had been created with blue hair and a spatial-sensor organ on their forehead. The spatial-sensor organ is a compact visual organ with roughly 100 million receptors. It enables them to receive information via light from a headpiece known as an alpha. Unique to the Abh is the navigational lobe that serves to process information from the spatial-sensor organ.

Their body has been modified to accommodate both high gravitational force and weightlessness. Their frame and circulatory system have also been adjusted to function under such conditions.

Over time the Abh have established a tradition of features unique to each family clan. The most famous and elusive feature by law are the Abriel ears only found with members of direct Royalty.

It was incredibly difficult to guess an Abh's age from outward appearance alone. During the stage of development from birth until the age of fifteen, the Abh mature like regular human. After that, from the beginning of their adolescent stage, their appearance matures only ten more years. The entire process takes approximately twenty-five years. The Abh do not show any physical indications of aging beyond twenty-five.

Reproduction
The Abh reproduce like humans. However, the Abh mostly use artificial fertilization and artificial wombs. Some women, do practice conception in the old fashion way as well as carrying the embryo in her own womb for the unique, personal experience.

Genetics
The Abh usually tinker with the genes of their children to prevent hereditary ailments and guarantee racial unity. They specified more than twenty-seven thousand nucleotide pairs in each child's DNA.

Abh children were manufactured to their parents' aesthetic tastes, which were similar to many land worlds' (Nahen) general conception of beauty.

The imperfect nerve cells from which they manufactured their children eventually leads to incurable confusion. Their respiratory systems is designed to stop before their intellect ceased functioning. However, this only occurred after at least two hundred years.

Linguistics
The Abh speak Baronh with its own writing system known as Ath.

Art
Abh poetry is all fixed-form. The Abh claimed structural limitations makes their art more refined. Still, all Abh art are noticeably spectacular.

History
In ancient times, on mankind's planet of origine Earth, globalization led to cultural confusion which a small percentage of (japanese) islanders had no intention of conforming. They refused to let the their culture become "contaminated with imports."

They left the planet and settled in one of Earth's established orbital cities. They changed their language; parts were reconstructed from basic and or obsolete words, parts were made up.

As time go by, they yearned to live on a planet (Nahen) again. Thus, they planned to leave the Solar System. Although, mankind discovered the yuanon particle and developed its application for interstellar travel, the ex-islanders' aloofness isolated them from the rest of mankind. Mankind neglected to include them in their deep-space immigration and exploration plans.

Therefore, the stubborn group plotted an independent space journey. Their only means of transportation was to use nuclear-fusion propulsion.

"I think of it as an honor to have the opportunity to welcome all of you gathered here, at this site where a great endeavor will take place. Now I say “a great endeavor”, but there are people who are not inclined to think so. As you have a look around, it appears that you all are able to see it at this place too. However please, please do not misunderstand me. I have no intention of criticizing or blaming the people of the opposing group. Whether this becomes a great endeavor or a foolish one, it may be difficult to know in our lifetime. However, the fact that you all were present here will surely be revered proudly by your descendents. This, I am convinced of.  ‘Even if the plan is successful, the assessment “a great endeavor” is worthless’ is an opinion that can also be heard. ‘A plan like this would at best make one star system livable, but looking at it from the whole of Human society, it’s an extremely tiny thing.’ Indeed, it is. The influence this plan will impart on Human history will probably be very small. All of man kind cannot be expected to approve of this plan. Furthermore, a shady part lying slightly behind it all is also a fact. However, what is wrong with that? Our ancestors turned their backs on the movements of Human society and lived life, choosing isolation, and established this city. That is why I cannot understand, why we who are content with seclusion would care for the judgement of others. Therefore, everyone, please continue to speak proudly of now, of this time to the children that will likely witness the conclusion to come."

- From the history of Orbital City Toyoashihara

Using forbidden science — human genetic engineering, they manufactured superhuman crew members to take their place for the long exploration journeys. Selecting the best parts from the genes of their best people, they created thirty beings who, despite appearances, were not considered human. To further distinguish them from natural humans, the scientists gave them all unnatural, blue hair.

Many ships were sent, but most are presumed lost.

One such deep space explorer ship, discovered the yuanon particle by chance. The crew converted their ship and continued their journey.

During the wandering age captainship of the colony transformed into a governmental body, and the title was changed to "King of the Ship".

Society within Empire

Education
The Abh do not have regular schools. Abh children are home-schooled by their guardians. The Abh do have schools for landed citizens and vassals. From their teen years on an Abh is eligible to apply for a military academy. Here they learn everything about their work life. As the only place to learn about plane space navigation it is necessary for a merchant to enroll into the academy.

Family
The Abh have a vastly more varied family concept than humans. Most common is a constellation of one genetic parent and a child. Less widespread is the familiar human form of a family: two parents and a child.
