Prellim

The Prellim were humanoid in shape, although they had hoofed feet and four-digit hands - three fingers and one thumb. Their skin was grey-blue, rough in texture, leathery, and exuded almost no moisture. Their faces were flat, wide around the eyes, with an "I"-shaped slit running from the center of the forehead to where a human's nose would be. Prellim vision was considered slightly superior to that of Humans - their visual spectrum extended a little more into the ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths. However their pupils did not dilate, giving poorer depth perception and providing slower vision focusing reflexes than humans. The olfactory organs of a Prellim were inside the mouth.

Before the commencement of hostilities Prellim almost always tried to reason with their opponents and established some kind of agreement that would make military force unnecessary.

The Greater Good, or "Prel'va," was the central philosophy that unites all Prellim. It taught that every sentient being was equal and played an important part in Prellim society. It told its adherents to put away petty squabbles and unnecessary things to unite for the greater good of the rest of the race. The Prellim had no desire to destroy another intelligent species' religion or culture - though it may have not meant that the Prellim respected the right to live.
