	This leads to a profound divergence in treatment between species. A feni, being a highly social creature who biologically exists in a tight knit familial and extended familial structure, you could be assigned a form of group 'family housing' along with space to raise ghineru. But you would not be permitted opportunity to live alone or apart from this ideal. Yet a human could instead be evaluated as needing a small nuclear family, a period of isolation upon reaching adulthood, before being assigned, again, a family if you fail to find a mate.

			=== Worlds of the United Families ===
			One of the smaller powers, the Families' still hold a number of worlds, but the most prominent are:
			* Kemsin, Ornja System - Homeworld of the Kemzali and Kobari, at 0.75g, this world is while diverse in climate, notable for its large temperate humid belt dominating the central, northern and southern hemispheres. It lacks distinct continents, instead having a large number of interconnected waterways, lakes, inland oceans and rivers stemming from mountainous islands within the by and large marshy populated core.
			* Jemzal, Ornja System - Other potential homeworld of the Kemzali and Kobari, at 0.76g, this world is notable for being more arid than Kemsin, with three large oceans dividing the five continents and numerous tidal wetlands stemming deep into its contintents, making up numerous salt marshes that change according to the slow rotation of the planet's moon over a six month period.

	The second key concept comes directly from this, psionic interfaces. Naturally psionic people, kemzali find it easier to mentally interface with an item than fiddle with controls, and their equipment reflects this. This is less like some form of alternate reality or seeing through another's eyes, so much as feeling an item like an extension of their body. It reacting as if it was part of the wielder's being.

	The third is related to that want for psionic interfacing, and its biological systems. Long ago the United Families developed a form of living material, even their hand items are partially 'living,' or were living when they were first created and grown. Armor, weapons, are formed of a unique bone-like lattice, once containing a hand-veined fleshy being inside. Technically, most kemzali technology are similar to a siphonophore, with multiple zooids in a singular organism that are tasked to specific parts, a combination of individual and colonial. Smaller usages of these living items are often permitted to die. Essentially making their equipment out of the bones and remains of these specially formed organisms. Larger are usually fed via energy-absorbing zooids around a nuclear fission reactor.		The third is related to that want for psionic interfacing, and its biological systems.

	While dominant in many fields, kemzali technology has difficulty working with other technology and is almost always a unique solution to an issue. and while an individual weapon can be operated by a single person, it tends to be larger and heavier than its peers. Yet the issues come more clear as technology grows in size. The United Families have nearly no concept of automation, the few that possess an artificial intelligence, or even a digital computer are joint-projects with other people.

	~~blabla~~		Few people trust the United Families in any real meaningful way. While generally reliable to do as they say, they are open about their desires to conquer all life and blatantly regard their neighbors as future pets, servants, or food.
			=====Alganna Eternity=====
			Currently at peace and engaged in some trade, the Eternity and the UF have had conflicts and border-crisis in the 2220s. The nature of their conflict was caused by a opportunistic assault, assuming assassinating kemzali on a minor planet would cause a collapse in defense and a quick armistice from the UF. The reaction was not horror, but immediate indignant, zealous wrath. The conflict ended with territorial loss for the United Families, though what was regarded as completely unacceptable material loss for the eternity. The United family sees the harm done an acceptable trade for a few points of territory.
			=====League of Free Colonies=====
			The League's rise the United Families territory cost them some territorial ambitions, and a few colonies but the particular mindset of the UF did little to damage relations and they have open trade. A failure of the rulers to discipline and maintain their population leading to a revolt was seen as a personal failure by the UF, not a foreign conquest.

	A key substance to their technology base is a liquid known as ''Hnad'', a highly conductive viscous liquid that is used in some manner in most of their technology. It is used to contain plasmoids that form the basis of much of their weaponry, it is a key method of regulating their nuclear fission engines, and it forms up a living circuit throughout much of their buildings, vehicles and weapons. While the substance is not well understood outside the United Families, hnad can create a bio-electric circuit that permits the neural-interfaces used in the families' technology.

	The Families' navy		The Families' navy are usually small fleets directed by senior offspring of a dynasty, with command of the support ships either managed by their own offspring or non-kobari members of the Families, such as integrated and conquered humans.
			=====Peacebringers=====
			More unique is the UF's only national military unit. Peacebringers are task forces contracted by gestalt decision, rather than individual families and are made up of almost every caste of society. A Kemzali given the notice they are now a peacebringer, is expected to drop their ambitions for their time. Kobari teams of devoted reverence are handed a slip, and for the divine Kemz, they abandon their mistress. A human farmer happily working on a farm, escaping tragedy will be expected to abandon their home and let it go fallow.

			The exact reason for selections are secrets held by the UF's elder council, but are believed to not be random. Nonetheless, they are assigned to a specific task, given equipment, and sent. Rumor has it some remarkable psionic clairvoyance is at work, but nonetheless the peacebringers are a combination of police, special forces, and forlorn hope.
