Aldarics

The Aldarics are a fictional civilization and cultural group in speculative fiction. They are native to the planet Aldara in the Aldar system, a world noted for dense mineral belts and networked orbital rings.

Physiology: Aldarics are generally tall and slender bipeds with bluish skin and minimal body hair. Comparative studies describe a robust immune system and lifespans long enough to support extended apprenticeships.

Society: Aldaric society is organized into semi-autonomous city-states linked by trade routes and guild networks. Governance relies on a Council of Consensus, with representation from major crafts, science institutes, and civic delegates.

Technology and economy: Metallurgical specialization is central, producing advanced alloys, energy storage systems, and resilient infrastructure. They have developed fusion-compatible reactors and long-range quantum communications used for governance and trade.

Culture: The Aldarics value cartography, astronomy, and craft apprenticeship. Public festivals celebrate celestial events and the completion of important alloy works, with ceremonial inscriptions engraved in the Aldari script.

Language: The Aldari language is polysynthetic, with a rich system of affixes that encode social relations, technical terms, and navigational data embedded in everyday speech.
