Race: Argon  
Society and Politics:
The Argon are the most humanoid of the races in the known systems and are relatively peaceful and non-aggressive. Argon society is complex and contains a great many sub-cultures and competing ideologies. Currently the political structure seems to be based around local system governments which are responsible for the day to day running of their system. Each system has a team of representatives in a decentralised Federal Government which is responsible for the poilicing and defence of all Fedration Space. It achieves this with a large and powerful fleet of warships, a fleet even more formiddable since the addition of a new flagship and a new rapid strike force of 38 fighters commissioned to combat the increasing Xenon threat.
A breakaway religeous sect known as the 'Goners' is gaining popularity in the Argon Federation. Although gaining more civilian and political support in recent years these monkish philosophers seem to pose no strategic threat to Human pilots or the Argon Federation.

Biology and Origins:
Although preliminary analysis shows a remarkable similarity between Human and Argon DNA the Argon have been colonising other planets for such a long time that many different 'strains' of Argon have been forged by these planets' diverse atmospheres, environments and gravities - making direct comparison difficult.

Technology and Economy
Argon science is advanced in many fields including organic chemistry, medicine, relativistic theory and artificial atmospherics. Many of the spacetime devices that drive, protect and defend space craft are derived from ancient Argon technologies which they have traded with other races.
Argon systems are heavily relient on agriculture and farming. They produce a wide range of goods including many high-tech devices required for space travel. The Argons are experienced miners and Federation Space is rich with both tapped and untapped mineral resources.

Character:
There is no such thing as a 'typical Argon' - their race has a diversity of genetic makeup and mental attitude unseen in other species. However, a common trait in all 'strains' is a good-humoured, practical and well disciplined approach to life - perhaps hinting at a more militaristic existence in the time before the species expanded onto other worlds. Although formidable warriors with an almost instinctive reaction to combat situations they are a relatively peaceful race who use force only to defend their territory or ideals.


The use of artificial visual aids suggests an imperfect (ie. natural) biology.
