Changes: People of M32-3R1

Revision as of 05:29, 7 June 2017

This race has no known canonical name. While the information presented in this article is canonical, the people/beings described lack an official name, thus the title is conjecture.

Overview

Unusually for a human population in the Pegasus Galaxy, the people of M32-3R1 have a massive civilization of millions of people spread out across their planet. The people possess an industrial age level of civilization with technology such as ballistae, sailing ships, canals and barges. They also possess relatively advanced medical science compared to other Pegasus Galaxy civilizations and are aware of such things as brain swelling from head injuries and performing decompressive craniectomy to treat such an injury. According to the healer Jitrine, the people autopsy the corpses of prisoners, at least in the College of Healers in the city of Pelagia, to learn the causes of death a person can suffer. At least part of the planet is a desert, but people still inhabit it, particularly in the oases along at least one canal that passes through the desert. Another part of the planet known to be inhabited is an archipelago of islands north of the desert.

Unusually for a Pegasus civilization, particularly one so populous, the people are not bothered by the Wraith and are not even aware of their existence. Part of this comes from an Ancient energy shield that protects the planet from attack by space. The planet's Stargate, called the Gate of the Ancients by the people, is also inoperable and has been for centuries. While someone can dial in and visit the people of M32-3R1, they cannot dial out and visit the rest of the galaxy as they were once able to, effectively cutting the people of M32-3R1 off from the rest of the galaxy. Though the inoperative Stargate was studied by many scholars of Pelagia, they lack the knowledge of how the Stargate works and so do not attempt to repair it out of fear of breaking the Stargate further.

The planet is ruled by monarchy, with kings for each section of the planet. The king of Pelagia, a very kingdom, is King Anados. All of the planet's kings fall under the rule of the High King who rules from the Holy Island. The High King is the representative of the people's gods and is revered by them as a result.

Each year on the Holy Island, the High King holds the Games of Life where contestants compete against each other in an underground labyrinth. The first person to emerge is richly rewarded while the rest are dedicated to the High King's service. These contestants are tributes given by each kingdom and by 2005, the number of people being given over to the Games causes some tension with people from the region known as The Chora and possibly other locations.
