Liberata

The Liberata are a member race of the Votan who originated from the planet Irath.

Biology
Liberata are generally much shorter than Humans and have a large amount of follicle growth on their head and face. Liberate breathe Nitrogen and high exposure to Oxygen can kill them, leaving a darkening of their skin.

Culture and society
The Liberata were once economically very powerful in the Votan star system, but their own avarice led to the ecological and social collapse of their society. Present-day Liberata humbly consider their present-day status as menial laborers and servants as deserved atonement resulting from the mistakes of their ancestors.

Religion
The Liberata have a polytheistic religion focusing on the basic needs of life. However, their social collapse while in the Votanis system, combined with their relatively low numbers in the evacuation fleet, resulted in very few of their religious traditions surviving on Earth. Instead, the Liberata ended up borrowing many religious traditions from their planet-mates, the Sensoth and Irathients.

Language
Yanga Kayang is the language of the Liberata. Much of the Votan slang is derieved from this language.
