#14. Three of the races finally subjected by The Ashtarians are now applying for membership in The Galactic Community. The most numerous of these are;

NAME- Cowa Tuti

WORLD- Showd

ORBIT- 352 days.

GEOGRAPHY- Once very Earth-like but now almost totally deforested except for the fruit-bearing trees and forests, farms of trees used for making paper and other fiber products.

SOLAR SYSTEM- Twenty-four planets, Showd being the sixth. All the rest are planetoids. There are no gaseous giants in the entire system. The furthers planetoid orbits even further out than Pluto, but not much.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION- The Cowa Tutis stand about five feet. there is only a few inches difference in any of them. They are covered with long, plush fur from head to foot. Only the soles of their feet and the palms of their hands are hairless. They never wear clothes even in the coldest climates. Their hands are four-fingered with an opposing thumb. But they have no toes. They have six nails that grow down around their foot that seem to give them extra traction. Their young are born under-developed and carried by their mother in a pouch for perhaps a year, depending on how fast they grow.
These little farmers and herdsmen were the first to rebel against the Ashtarians and their capabilities in combast were soon proven, much to the Ashtarians' dismay!

POLITICAL SYSTEM- Currently in flux. Administrators from The Galactic Community are currently help8ng them run their cities and off world affairs until they can decide what type of government they prefer.

RELIGION- Not really understood by others, some type of fertility worship, celebrated with mass dances at which time marriages and blessings of new borns take place. No one, even The Ashtarians, has ever been permitted to witness one of their funerals. Those who tried were killed.
