Leedei

LEEDEI

One of the most obscure and generally unknownUnion Member civilizations are the Leedei. The Leedei are of the M 32 Dwarf Galaxy, which is a satellite of Andromeda. There they have colonized sixty planets. He Leedei are passionate explorers and had not found any other sentient species in their Galaxy so far. More by chance or accident one of their scientists directed a device what they called a Tele-Listener in the void area between Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy. (Being excellent Psionic Talents with Saresii Level Telepathic abilities and a very advanced Psionics based technology their Tele Listener is something like a Psionic Radio Telescope)

To their great surprise they picked up much Psionic chatter from an area they believed to be completely void. So they mounted an expedition and build two special long distance space ships, with an ingenious system of stages (their ships would carry five sets of Engines and jettison a stage whenever they were burned out)

The Leedei Expedition discovered the Union Bridge, the chain of Space stations between the Milky Way Galaxy and Andromeda. Sevastopol Station, (Bridge Station 789) noticed the approach of two large and very long space ships of completely unknown configuration and Bridge Alarm was raised for the first time in Bridge History in 4217. Bridge Defense Fleet was alerted and first Contact was made. The Leedei were deeply impressed by the Bridge the Union and the common Explorer spirit. First regular contact was not easy due to the vast distances, but the Leedei in turn impressed the Union as they build a small version of the Bridge from their Satellite Galaxy to Sevastopol Station. A Leedei Delegation traveled to Pluribus in 4289 and applied for Union Membership. Their Membership was accepted on October 4290 and became the 4788th member Civilization and the most distant one. The small Leedei Bridge was refurbished and expanded in size and capacity and a Space Train connection was established to Leedei Planet G 6783 (GeesSixseveneightthree).

The Leedei developed on a planet with three suns and they did not know Night or darkness. To protect their eyes they and many other life forms of their planet developed a skin like cover over the actual eyes that is semitransparent and filters out most of the bright light. The Leedei eat by inhaling a tiny airborne shrimp like creature. The Air of their home world is thick with these small life forms. Leedei learned to harvest them and process them in concentrated liquid. The only nourishment Leedei eat is that “Bug Soup”.

Their Society is generally peaceful but they are no strangers to violence and crimes. Being inquisitive and nosy is a national past time. They have three genders. Male, Female and Processor. Both Male and Female copulate with a third being they call Sip Sap and means something like Processor. The female egg and the male sperm are then willfully put together by the Sip sap and carried to term.

The Planet was renamed to G 6783 to celebrate a date in Leedei history. (Leedei did not have Month but seasons. There are three seasons A, G and U and in the Leedei Year 6783 a huge Asteroid missed the planet by a fraction)

The Number 3 is holy but there is no real religion as in temples or a priest cast. The Leedei are governed by a triumph irate who has much decision power and is elected every 33 Seasons.
