Interion

Interions resembled Humans except they had a slightly different cranial architecture. Moreover, Interions had some unique physical traits - one being their hair, which changed color when they were experiencing extreme emotions. Interions also shedded like cats, to the point that their lost hair can even clog up machinery and electronics. Furthermore, the scream of an Interion contained frequencies that could deform a wide variety of metals in the immediate vicinity. They had the luxury of considering themselves too civilized for violence, and so were not experienced with it. They were peaceful, preferring negotiation to fighting, with violence being practically unknown on their world. Interion society was geared toward education in the arts and sciences; it was not uncommon for a member of the intellectual elite to have sixteen advanced degrees or more. Included in the basic education, it would appear, were the biological and medical sciences, history, and archeology. Consequently, their elite had gained status through knowledge rather than through force. In addition to knowledge, Interion culture also held material pleasure in high esteem. Their clothing was designed to be attractive rather than functional, and the best garments were quite expensive. They enjoyed bathing and cared about their appearance, dignity and comfort above almost all else. Similarly, they would rather pay a great deal of money for high-quality, effervescent spirits rather than become intoxicated on cheaper beverages.
