The next and final Galactic Blog will talk about the Beings from the Fomalhaut region who are known for having great scientists and explorers. Their Solar System will also be talked about. All info is from Sheldan Nidle's book Your Galactic Neighbors
Present Status And Location
The Confederation Of Fomalhaut (Alpha Piscis Austrini) is a two member neutral Star-Nation that joined the Galactic Federation Of Light in the late 1990s. Approximately 250,000 years ago, a gang of Human rebels arrived from the Pleiades to colonize her. Fifty thousand years later, a smaller Dinosaurian/Reptilian group from Bellatrix arrived. For many years the two groups waged a series of mutually destructive wars until about 20,000 years ago, having made their peace, they formed this Confederation. The star Alpha Piscis Austrini is also known as Fomalhaut, which, in Arabic, means 'Mouth of the Fish'. Her Dinosaurian/Reptilian inhabitants refer to her as 'Sak'Koq'Lapq' ('Given Place Of Refuge'), while the descendants of her former Pleiadean colonists call her 'Khalamah' ('Sacred Light'). Fomalhaut, the brightest star in Piscis Austrinus and the 17th brightest star in the sky, is located approximately 25 Light Years from our Earth. On a spring night in the Southern Hemisphere, the constellation of Piscis Austrinus is located immediately beneath and between those of Aquarius and Capricornus. Precisely below it is the constellation of Grus: beside it is that of Microscopium. To observe Fomalhaut, locate the famous magic square of Pegasus and then find the two bright stars that form the square's north-south side. In a straight line above these two, you will see a blazing white star. It is Fomalhaut.
Fomalhaut Solar System
The Solar System of Alpha Piscis Austrini (Fomalhaut), like most Solar Systems in this galaxy, has eight planets, the smallest closest to the sun and the largest, the most distant. Fomalhaut's Dinosaurian/Reptilian inhabitants refer to her as Mok'Qa'FpQ ('Light Of Sacred Life'), while the Humans living on her third and forth worlds call her Lamadha. The innermost planet is barren and one-sixth the size of our Earth. Constant discharges from her white sun cast a dim glow that permeates her extremely thin, ionized atmosphere. The fifth planet, nearly twice the size of our Earth, is more hospitable, and possesses an atmosphere similar to our own. Hot and semi-arid, she contains eight large continents mostly blanketed in a patchwork of high coastal mountain ranges and far-flung deserts, and surrounded by twelve seas. Towering mountain ranges extend through the interior of five continents. Broad, sun-baked plains cover the other three landmasses: two of these are more expansive than our planets Sahara. Ths planet, whose desert ecosystem is surprisingly varied, supports a colorful array of Reptilian, Dinosaurian, and Insectian life, as well as some fascinating plant species. In her seas are large numbers of fish, vaguely reminiscent of the primitive life forms from our planets Age Of Fishes. The three remaining outer planets in the Alpha Piscis Austrini Solar System are gas giants. Like the majority of this type of planet in our galaxy, they are noted for their banded, gelated atmospheres filled with large, geometric multi-colored anomalies, which range from large 'spots' to vast, interconnected, multi-sized patterns.
Description Of Home World
About 200,000 years ago, this sphere, called 'Mok'Qa'SiQ' ('Place Of Life') by her Dinosaurian/Reptilian inhabitants, was first settled by colonists from the constellation of Orion. Measuring almost 6,000 miles in diameter, she contains eight oceans and five huge continents. She has a three-layer firmament that supports an ecosystem renowned for its diversity of Reptilian, Amphibian, Dinosaurian, and other unusual aquatic life forms. Generally, this home world has a semi-tropical climate and is cooler only at the poles.Like all other planets, Mok'Qa'SIQ is a hollow sphere whose inner environment is inhabited, even for this ecosystem, by some very peculiar creatures. The 400 million Beings of this world live in special, populous cities scattered across the inner planet. This large water world has a highly oxygenated atmosphere that is recognizable by its purple tint. Her skies swarm with billions of fantastic, Dinosaurian birds and other flying creatures, such as an enormous, bat-like Reptilian. Three of her continents, like those of some other worlds in this galaxy, are famous for their wide meadows of wildly colored grasses. Her other continents are noteworthy for their broad mountain ranges, dense jungles or thick forests and vast inland seas. Pleiadean Human colonists settled the third planet approximately 250,000 years ago. Called Erpa ('Home World'), she measures 9000 miles in diameter - slightly larger than our Earth - and has four moons. Across Erpa's largely unspoiled surface are scattered a series of temple sites, surrounded by small communities of 6,000 souls. Each settlement supports the temple site and constantly monitors the major node located at its exact center. There, ritual, which may include chant, dance, and spiritually animating music, is performed each day. The atmosphere of Erpa's semi-tropical water world is similar to that of our Mother Earth. Her six diversly diversely sized continents are surrounded by twelve boundless seas. Distinctive surface features cover them, including great mountain-walls; impenetrable jungles; sweeping, grassy plains; towering coastal mountain ranges; endless deserts and undulating meadows. Embraced within the ring of this fascinating topogrraphical mix lie a series of enormous, inland seas. Erpa's diverse ecosystem includes flora and fauna common to most of this galaxy. The fourth planet, Khapa ('Land Of Spirit'), bears a vague resemblance to our own. Measuring 8,000 miles in diameter, Khapa consists of a wide ocean encompassing six immense, interconnected islands that vary in length from 2,300 miles to 3,000 miles. Her surface resembles Erpa's in its physical geography. She is particularly noted for her extensive jungles, which teem with some of the most bizarre classes of insects in this sector of the galaxy. However, unlike the other water world, Khapa's aquatic life forms are extremely diverse, representing a broad spectrum of fish, Dinosaurian, Reptilian, and mammalian species. Erpa is home to the headquarters for the confederation of Fomalhaut. In its inner world capital, established nearly 20,000 years ago, two very different founding races have joined together to build a unified Star-Nation that has endured through the ages.
Fomalhautan Society And Its Contribution To The Galactic Federation Of Light
By merging the best points of Galactic Human Society to those of the clan-like Dinosaurian/Reptilian one, the Fomalhautans have created a culture that works. Although they were unable, initially, to grasp how their culture could conform to that of the Galactic Federation Of Light, the process of first contact changed their minds, making them enthusiastic adherents of what the Galactic Federation Of Light represents. The Fomalhautan Confederation closely interacts with liaison groups that have been sent to the Andromeda Galaxy. They are teaching Beings in the Galactic Federation Of Light to help people understand first contact, especially when it involves a neutral non-Federation state. That is to say, exactly how can a special culture, with its own unique technical skills, become comfortably a part of the Galactic Federation Of Light? This is an important consideration because many neutral states, initially, feared both the galactic wars and their affiliation with the Galactic Federation Of Light. In actual fact, the Fomalhautans have given Galactic Federation Of Light liaisons an understanding of how first contact applies to neutral Star-Nations; the best way to approach neutral states eager to join the Galactic Federation Of Light; and techniques for establishing liaisons that can successfully carry out that first contact.
Physical Description
Fomalhaut Humans are of two very distinct body types. One closely resembles the so-called 'Nordic' type of ET and is usually blonde with bright blue, hazel, or steel-gray eyes. Men of this ilk are muscular and stand approximately six feet tall. Their women are well favored, and range from about five feet, six inches to slightly under six feet in height. The second type has darker, almost tanned-looking skin, and dark hair with brown, gray, or black eyes. They have the same relative height and appearance as the first-mentioned Nordic group. Both classes require between 2 and 4 hours of sleep per day.The Dinosaurian/Reptilian inhabitants of the confederation of Fomalhaut are hybrids who originated from the star Bellatrix in Orion. Typically, they are very scaly and bony. The upper head is surrounded by a large, bony crest and the eyes are large and set forward just above and to either side of a very small nose. The mouth is characterized by thin lips that extend from one side of the head to the other. The non-existent ears are recognizable only by an extra-smooth, 3-inch circle on either side of the head and just behind the eyes. The large eyes, resembling those of our Earth's reptiles, are either red or dull yellow. The skin is scaly, like that of a crocodile, and can be green, yellow, brown, or red. A small, bony crest stretches up the middle of the back and connects to a larger crest on the crown of the head. This Being is a biped. Its hands are thin with six long, clawed fingers, and its feet have five toes that each end in a small, knifelike claw. The tail is very short and thick like a crocodile's, and reaches only to the feet. On this planet the male is shorter than the female. Bellatrician-like males stand between 8 and 10 feet tall, while female height ranges from 8.5 to 10.25 feet. They require between 4 and 6 hours of sleep per day. Beings in the Confederation Of Fomalhaut are noted for their expertise in all scientific endeavors. Currently, the first major Science and Exploration Team sent to the Andromeda Galaxy, 2 million Light Years from our own, consists largely of personnel from Fomalhaut. The Human Fomalhaut language sounds both lyrical and guttural, while the Dinosaurian/Reptilian tongue is more guttural.
Ships Of The Fomalhaut Confederation
The scout ships of Human Fomalhautans are egg-shaped, like a water drop that is about to fall from a tap, and measure 60 to 85 feet in diameter. Their motherships shaped, like huge, multi-layered cigars, range between 2 and 1,200 miles across. Scout ships of Fomalhaut's Dinosaurian/Reptilian Beings are shaped like huge beetles and are approximately 100 feet in diameter. Their motherships are notable for their amoeba-like shape, and measure between 8 and 900 miles across.
