TIMELINE

1:1:1 Intergal time officially begins (retroactively calculated) when Simmellians, drawn by the t-fields generated by the native Angroolians, land on Angroolia.
1:1:327 Angroolia is a charter member of the 1^st Interworld Kounsil

Angroolia is 1.752 lightyears from Simmel.

Native cities are constructed of vegetation; the Angroolian race possesses total awareness and control of their worldly environment via telepathic communal awareness. This negates the need for any standing government or police force. Angroolians can monitor the activities of visitors and occasional temporary colonists through this awareness.

OTHER NOTES: pacifist race developed through the worldly symbiosis. Have remained members of Interworld Kounsil to promote recognition for their race and of Sentient vegetative life in general.

pacifist race; posture is usually relaxed stance, limbs and antenna held in open readiness. They typically move slowly, with calm deliberation. They are, however, capable of rapid movement, which surprises animal-based Sentients.

"The galaxy’s pacifists, the mediators and meditators." -VVV

They can release spores that act as a tranquilizer to many mammalian species.  These are described as "soft and fluffy" (VVV)
