Indejen

Indigjens are a sentient race hailing from Indej (Venus). Indigjen are a technologically advanced race, introducing their technology to the other races of Sol jumpstarting their technological advancement by over half a century. Indigjens are generally considered as being among the most powerful species of Sol, this is partly due to the fact that they had discovered both Humans, the Sahrabrani and the Elsahri being the first to achieve spaceflight. The Indigjen came early to the ideas of world governance, over a hundred years ago forming the Indej Technocracy, with

Indigjen have the longest lifespan of any of the species of sol, with a typical healthy Indigjen living over 700 years, their long life span gives light to Indigjens habits of taking things slow, from Music to Dancing, and Moving. The Indigjen are a scientifically minded race, favouring discussion and debate over conflict.

Origins
Modern Indigjens were believed to have appeared over 500,000 years ago on Indej (Venus). Early on in Indigjen development artifacts from an ancient spacefaring species known as the Orajore, who formerly arose on Indej, over 3 million years ago, however their disappearance has failed to have been explained by even the top Indigjen scientists. The discovery of Orajore technology led to a rapid technological development in Indigjen society, which became known as the 'Great Step Forward.' During this period a cultural revolution ocurred, as many Indigjen abandoned their religious beliefs in favour of the pursuit of knowledge, however it is generally accepted that Ujern is the main religion of the Indigjen. The world government known as the Indej Repaju was also formed during this time, replacing the city states that existed before.

First Contact
The Indigjen were the first to discover spaceflight, over 30 years before humans, launching their first spacecraft in (1908). The Indigjen recieved unknown signals in the early (1930's), which were actually among the first strong television broadcasts on Earth. During this time humans on Earth began to recieve the Indigjens broadcasts. The Indigjens, in an attempt to make contact with Earth, sent a powerful signal, which human computer systems could not comprehend, and the message was sent back. The Indigjens then began a several decade long development to reach Earth and discover alien life. Upon the departure of the mission (1997), with selected Indigjen diplomats, several of Earth's satellites picked up the ship on UV scanners. Earth's governments opted to keep the information secret as to avert public panic. The Indigjen ship arrived on the 12th February 1997, among mass public interest.
