Civics: Matriarch – Nest Mothers rule Family Packs. Family Packs can include up to 200 members. Communities of several Packs form a Colony guided/ruled by a Colony Mother. Colonies can contain many thousand Packs. Colony Mothers form a loose society (Planet wide) and this Society used to elect a Bloog Family ( Usually an Male and a Female Daoine) for about 10 years and the Bloog make planet wide (or Society wide decisions) Now the Society elects the Planet Representatives(3) and Species Representatives (1) that are seated in the Assembly. Daoine have adopted Union Law to be local law. Very few local laws still exist. Daoine are very strict and very law abiding and a visitor to the Dao planets is encouraged to know Union Law. It is a national Past time to find “law Breakers” And now the Daoine extend that to everyone.

Biology: Daoine grow to160 cm and are LDRS – NiOX breathers and tolerate average temperatures and standard gravitation. Food and Diet: Daoine eat everything they can digest. They have a high tolerance to bacteria and food born illnesses and in the old days when there was more Daoine than food they even resorted to society accepted Cannibalism.

GeneralWith their industrial age came Birth Control and that practice has been history, (except during Daoine Funerals) Daoine are prized as hard and industrious workers and have no difficulties to find employment anywhere in the Union. Several Corporations have raised entire Factory cities on the Unused planets in the Daoine Systems. ( Many Manufacturing processes still rely on labor) The Daoine in turn have increased the number of Vocational Schools and Institutes. Many Daoine are gifted Service Engineers.

The Daoine were very poor as a society in general and had been subject to Pirate raids and Attacks but since Union Membership that has drastically changed. It should be noted that the United Stars Navy has located one of their Translocator Bomb Factories and Loki Torpedo Assembly Plants inside Daoine Systems and under Daoine Control. (According to Admiral McElligott it is quite unlikley to ever find a Daoine Spy)
