#14. NAME- Cowa Tuti
HOME WORLD- Showd
ORBIT- 352 days.
GEOGRAPHY- Once very Earth-like but now almost totally deforested except for 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 furthest 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 undeveloped 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 combat were soon proven much to The
Ashtarians' dismay!
POLITICAL SYSTEM- Currently in flux. Administrations from The Galactic Community are currently helping them run their cities and off world affairs until they c an decide what type of government they prefer.
RELIGION- Not really understood by others, but 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.
