Daak Ķwáan

Originally a Tlingit tribe, they still speak the language despite being away from Earth for over a thousand years.

The original inhabitants of the island which they would come to call Daak X'aádige. Daak Ķwaán share a highly advanced culture, not only technologically, but ideologically as well. Philosophical Societies engage in a lively and ongoing debate of tradition versus invention. Engineers toy with the laws of physics. Warriors and hunters test themselves against one another in sport. Soldiers prepare against the monstrous onslaughts which come occasionally from out of the void.

Advanced Applied Physics

The Daak Ķwáan didn't have an empiricist scientific phase. They started with a holistic approach to nature and science, which extended to physics, and was influenced by their cultural lean towards metaphorical thinking and unbiased observation. By observing behavior metaphorically similar to things like spin, entanglement, and interference in the macrocosm, and applying fractal thinking, Daak Ķwáan scientists theorized quantum mechanical physics hundreds of years ago. This way of thinking combined with access to the natural resource of psionically resonant tree material allowed them to rapidly unlock practical quantum physics, including quantum computing, which in turn led to the discovery of, and subsequent huge leaps in, the field of paraphysics (the branch of science governing multiversal, transversal, and exoversal phenomena).
