Datry, the

Datry

Union Species - Native to Try World - Andromeda Galaxy Region 4

TL 0 Prior to Union Membership - AL 5 -

The Datry are amphibious Polyplacophoran like beings that gained conciousness and sentience, but due  to their natural dorm unable  to create anything more than the

most basic tools. The prehistoric conditions of their world with torrent rain lasting for centuries and a very low oxygen level, fire was virtually unknown, except for volanic

heat and fire.

Union Explorers to Try World noticed the ring shaped pepple structures the Datry created on the beaches of their world and realized that it was a form of pictographic written language.

A telepathic member of the survey crew made first contact to the highly intelligent, also telepathic gifted

Datry..

Their story was not unlike that of the Bellebee or other sentient species without the capability of creating a physicl civilization.

Union Tech developed Interaction Frames -allowing them to see, talk and manipulate matter and freely move.

The Datry showed that they were able to learn complex science and math  in a very short term and made the transition from a TL 0 to a TL 8 society without any problems.

The Datry not having any real form of government choose the first Datry eve to make contact as their leader and he has chosen successors equally by appointing whoever was close s the next leader.

They are bisexual but male and female have no bearing in their society, as one lays eggs and one fertilizes the eggs.

There are about 40 Million Datry in the Union. They are eager travelers and there is hardly a space bus going somewhere without at least one Datry present. Many Datry seek employment in tourism and travel related careers

Their orerly Pepple Ring City features more Travel Agencies than any other world in the Union..

The Collective Collection of Souvenirs, is a gigantic building where the Datry collect souvenirs brought back. The Collective Collection has become a ltourist attraction of its own and draws 100,000 -200,000 off planet visitors every year.

Industries include large Macroalgae and seagrass farms (the main food source of the Datry) Sea Salt production, Two Power Shell (Exo Frame) factories and the harvesting of Niku floaters, a type of shrimp abundant in their oceans.

Datry can be found in many social roles and careersbut rarely in military or para military functions. or careers.

Being a steward or tourist guide are "dream careers". Travel magazines and GalNet shows are alos a national past time, and there are social events o many thousand  Datry attending where someone gives a travel report.

They take actice part in Union affairs and have a high vote participation.. All Datry are Union Citizens, there are no No Cits in their society.

There is no tolerance for crimes, even petty theft and littering are immideate grounds for permanent ban from their world.
