	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.

The exact numbers will fluctuate based on perceived need, and even for rapidly-developing young soldiers, a delay is necessary to breed new warriors.

This shortfall has led to the United Families keeping multiple private mercenary companies on hand, with fingers in the wider galaxy for rapid recruitment if need be.

	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.

	This is seen on every level of society, kemzali who seem to fail to lead, are forced back into this role with administrative handlers to properly coach them into it just as a worker that wishes to become a scientist will be forced back into their role. While mostly functional for kemzali and kobari, this structure can struggle to find a place for species alien to them. Often fitting them into roles that are alien to the original culture of the United Families, such as merchants, traders, historians or sociologists, or into broad administrative or "priest" roles, which are normally filled by the rarer priest-caste kobari or simply into personal attendants, confidants, pets or even friends for kemzali.

	==== The Jemzal ====		===== The Jemzal =====
	There are technically two main cultural divergences within the United Families, while each of the 2059 Dynasties or families of the United Families are culturally divergent from the other in some small or great manner, the primary difference are between the Kemsin and the Jemzal. The Kemsin are those dynasties born of the planet Kemsin, usually declared homeworld of the kemzali and kobari species and is the generic culture of the nation. The Jemzal, however, hold that the history is false, Jemzal is the birthplace of the species, and Kemsin and Kuni were both outcast for "crimes against the Kemz."

Line 32:		Line 32:

	The final difference is the Jemzal are uniquely obsessed with foreign species. Possessing massive controlled biomes as environments and zoos. They believe the Jem dynasty's special role in the Kemz is protecting life itself what they call the ''Lifezoo''. Rumors persist that they have more secretive zoos where they keep sophonts of all types, but this is strictly denied. Stating that it comes from the Jemzal families' fondness of hiring alien sophonts to serve administrative role rather than having priest-kobari bred for the task.

	==== Eusociality ====		===== Eusociality =====
	The United families' social structure is best understood in a parallel to eusocial species such as terran ants, bees, termites or molerats. The divergence is that while very much a cooperative organism with distinct castes, Kemzali and kobari are separate, if deeply related species, and the species has no difficulty incorporating other beings into its structure.

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.

	If a Kemzali starship is grounded or dry docked for a significant duration, it cannot simply be given a fresh crew and sent back out after repairs. In most cases, a new colony needs to be established and while kobari develop very quickly, it still takes up to five or six years.

			== Military ==
			The families lack a true organized military. This is not to imply they are remotely pacifistic or defenseless. Nearly every kobari is ready, no matter their breed and purpose to fight and die. While most castes are relatively ineffectual in combat, even in comparison to untrained people of most species, kobari bred to fight are exceptionally skilled. Their minds filled with ancestral memories of tactics, local and strategic understanding, adaptiveness, and despite relatively small size, their bodies are ready to burn bright and fast. A squad of kobari soldiers are as capable as any in known space.

			These warrior-caste make up the personal defenses, armies and security for a dynasty. The exact numbers will fluctuate based on perceived need, and even for rapidly-developing young soldiers, a delay is necessary to breed new warriors. At minimum must be had to really create new personnel. This shortfall has led to the United Families keeping multiple private mercenary companies on hand, with fingers in the wider galaxy for rapid recruitment if need be.

	This changed when the Families encountered the [[Ruz'kahni Directorate]] in 2054 as one of the first peer-powers encountered. The encounter involved the capture of the Directorate exploratory ship and its crew. Proper contact came 11 years later in 2065 when the ship and its crew were returned to the Directorate and a cultural exchange was made. The United Families were cordial, stated that their reason for the capture was a misunderstanding, and interacted with the larger Directorate presence with pleasantness and understanding.

	The Directorate, cautious about giving technology to the potentially aggressive aliens, would be surprised when the United families would suddenly reveal the first kemzali made FTL system in 2088 and began a serious of minor conquests into their nearby territory, eventually the United Families clashed with the Directorate in 2133, sparking a low-intensity conflict that lasted until 2160, settling the Directorate-United Families borders of today.

	Since, the United Families have made a few, slow, key captures, territorial expansions and key encroachment, wary of preying on any people that could be a serious threat, and choosing populations, if targeted, that are reasonably compatible with their highly structured way of life.
