Xenexian

The Danteri ruled the planet of Xenex for over 300 years without being able to quell an uprising until M'k'n'zy of Calhoun led an uprising to free his people. Danteri atrocities included killing unborn children, burning villages, and the lasic removal of petty criminals' limbs.

Tentative first contact between the Federation and Xenex was made before the M'k'n'zy-led rebellion. After the uprising, the Federation took a greater interest in the affairs of Xenex.

Xenexian names often use gutturals that offworlders find difficult to pronounce.

Young Xenexians visited the Pit in a rite of passage known as 'The Search for Allways" until the casualties became too high, at which point it became more of a highly-discouraged dare among Xenexian youth. The rite's traditions dictated that the undertaker of the journey was to take supplies for one day. The goal of the Search was to be given a vision of one's future.

Xenexian priests taught a polytheistic religion that allowed for a place where the soul resided after death.
