Moretians

The Moretians are a humanoid species, native to the planet Morette. Although discovered and assimilated by The Empire approximately 90,000 years in the past, the Moretians are perpetually "stuck" at a point in their technological progress which is a point about 200 years in Humanity's future, from the present day. This is due largely to Imperial intervention and a persistent view that the Moretians are a "Backwater, Redneck" species. They are constantly ridiculed by other Imperial species, although Morette is often used as a vacation destination by Imperial Citizens. The Moretians are quite vocal about what they perceive as "discrimination", but have received little support for their cause in the Core of the Empire.

The Moretians suffered somewhat under the invasion by the Hivers, but the Hivers were driven off before they could cause any real harm. As a result of the Hiver invasion, the Moretians are particularly friendly to all members of The Seventh Imperial Fleet.
