 ====== Kodians ======
-The Kodians are a peaceful species of Ursoids who relatively keep to themselves and are known for their highly advanced medical cybernetics and unbiased diplomats. Having lived this way for countless millenia, the Kodians had never been involved in any sort of galactic war until they joined [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]] in [[timeline:ye_27]], although they had previously put down rebellions started by others who have visited their planet.

-  * Clothing: The main form of clothing on Gashmere is a pair of thick pants and long-sleeved [[items:clothing:t-shirt|T-Shirt]]-shirt due to Gashmere being an icy planet.
-  * Music: A mixture of folk and classical style music are the main genres of music listened to and produced on Gashmere.
+In Kodian culture, sex is seen as an obligation to reproduce, not a recreational activity. Kodian society places a high value on family and the continuation of the species. Kodian individuals are expected to mate with a partner for the purpose of procreation and raising children, rather than for pleasure or personal satisfaction. As such, sex is viewed as a sacred act that should only be undertaken with one's chosen mate.
-  * Cuisine: Kodians prefer a mixture of plants, berries, insects and fish. Spices are often used in any course of the meal, including dessert. The common drink with any meal is either water or a strong beer or mead like substance. A rare treat for any Kodian would be the large mantis-like predator know as the Rulian, a common threat to villages and unprotected citizens on the streets of Gashmere.
+Kodian culture draws inspiration from the values of honor, respect, and community. Kodian society places great emphasis on strength, both physical and mental, and those who display such traits are highly respected. As a result, personal combat is often viewed as an art form and a means of self-expression, rather than just a tool for violence.
+Kodians also have a deep respect for nature and the environment. They believe that all living things are connected, and that the destruction of one ultimately harms the entire ecosystem. This belief is reflected in their hunting and gathering practices, which are designed to be sustainable and minimize their impact on the planet.
+Kodian music is a unique blend of classical and folk styles, with a focus on instrumental pieces that evoke a range of emotions. Many Kodian compositions feature a variety of string instruments, including the koto, shamisen, and biwa. Wind instruments like the shakuhachi and the fue are also commonly used, as are percussive instruments like the taiko drums and the tsuzumi. Kodian music often tells a story or conveys a particular message, and is used in both celebratory and mournful contexts. Traditional Kodian music is often accompanied by dance, with performers donning elaborate costumes and masks to represent the characters in the story being told.
+In recent years, Kodian musicians have begun to experiment with incorporating electronic and digital sounds into their compositions, resulting in a unique fusion of traditional and modern styles. This has led to the emergence of new sub-genres, such as "cyberfolk," that are gaining popularity on Gashmere.
+The Kodian diet is primarily composed of plant-based foods, such as various types of vegetables and fruits, as well as insects and fish. The Kodians have evolved to be omnivorous, and their taste preferences have been shaped by the unique flora and fauna found on their icy homeworld of Gashmere. Kodians have a particular fondness for spices, and their cuisine features a wide range of pungent and flavorful seasonings. These spices are often used to flavor everything from soups and stews to baked goods and desserts. Kodians are also known for their fondness for strong, alcoholic beverages. Mead and beer are popular choices, and are often brewed using locally-grown fruits and grains.
+Some of the most commonly consumed foods in Kodian cuisine include:
+  *Grashroot: a starchy, root vegetable that is similar in texture to a potato.
+  *Harsik berries: small, tart berries that are commonly used to make jams and preserves.
+  *Ice flies: a type of insect that is found on the ice sheets of Gashmere. These are usually pan-fried or roasted and eaten as a crunchy snack.
+  *Polar cod: a species of fish that is found in the icy waters on Gashmere. This fish is typically grilled or baked and served with a variety of spices and seasonings.
+  *Rulian: a large, mantis-like predator that is considered a rare delicacy on Gashmere. The meat is typically grilled or roasted and served with a spicy sauce.
+  *Rock Salmon: a species of fish that is found in many of the fresh water rivers and lakes of Gashmere. The fish is typically smoke, grill, or can be eaten raw.
 ==== Military ====

-The Gashmere Planetary Guard is a rather large military force, employing roughly 9% of the total population. The forces are divided between an Army and space-faring Navy. Due to the recklessness of outsiders, all non-Kodians must pass a rigid psychic and moral test before being allowed to travel on the planet. Strong bonds of brotherhood are encouraged among military units to increase morale during long expeditionary missions along with each member of the military taking a vow to willingly sacrifice their life in order to defend their home world are mandatory.
