[1.5] Humanoid Alien Races - The Phalaita

Once a pioneering regional power with unparalleled influence over their little slice of paradise, the Phalaita of the Boseii Unitary Emirates have lost their way. At their prime, they reached a level of decadence that drew the envy of traders, privateers and spacers alike. Only for it to all come crashing down. Centuries of infighting, foreign meddling, economic turmoil and the toll of an exploitative, oligarchic power structure under an extractive economy has rendered this once-noble and respected nation of dynastic black witch moths a sorry imitation of its former glory. All central authority has disintegrated, and the peasants have de-urbanised, leaving behind an ocean of disorganised peasant committees, hamlets and juntas in its wake, giving birth to a new generation of Baga. Uncharismatic, dysfunctional, anomised misfits. But boy, can they sow rice. The modern Phalaita are nomads who excel at tending to plants and animals. Though their strong agrestic traditions have weathered from generations of violence, some of their old ways surrounding silk and tea production have managed to survive. The same cannot be said of their trust, however: a century of genocide, intergenerational trauma and ethnic violence have made them socially dim and uncooperative isolationists. Acquiring their trust will be difficult, but earn their respect and the silk shall flow.
