Galmans are a human species native to the planet Galman. Thousands of years before present time, a selected group of Galmans was abducted by Iscandar's empire and was transported to Iscandar's double planet, creating the Garmillas ethnic group.
Biology[]
Members of the Galman species are most obviously identified by their blue skin, which is commonly light blue but also ranges to purple, turquoise, and even charcoal. This skin is unique among all the alien races encountered by the Galmans, and for some members of the Garmillas ethnic group, it has become an important part of their supposed superiority.[16][17] Galmans have purple blood.[18][19][20] Aside from their unique skin and blood, Galmans are nearly identical to Earth humans, from anatomical structure down to the DNA level.[21] Both species can eat many of the same foods, and can survive in the same environmental conditions for limited periods of time.[21][22]
The Galmans are unable to live for a long period outside of their homeworld. This is due to their bodies having an extremely low tolerance to endemic diseases from other worlds. A permanence of 10 or more years on an alien planet without visiting their homeworld, can cause the risk of contracting said diseases and dying to greatly increase.[23] The only solutions available are to find or create environments that exactly match those of the planets Galman or Garmillas, or to interbreed with local populations.[17]
History[]
An illustration of the Galman abductees' surreptitious journey that resulted in them becoming Garmillans
At the time of their discovery by the Desler Fleet, Galmans were living in suppression and poverty due to their homeworld being relegated as a backwater resource station of the Bolar Federation.[24] At the time of 2205 their level of civilization and organization was extremely low due to Bolar control of the entire planet Galman.
However, during the Iscandar Incident in 2205, Queen Stasha Iscandar revealed to Desler that thousands of years ago, Iscandarians surreptitiously abducted a group of Galmans from the planet Galman and sent the group on a harrowing, brutal journey through space.[25] This group of Galmans, lead by a king of their own, experienced severe amnesia and many deaths on their journey, and were not even aware that they were abducted by Iscandarians, as alluded to in this Garmillan creation tale.
After the Iscandar Incident (and the removal of Bolar occupation on planet Galman), Garmillans (also accompanied by some Zaltzi) completed their emigration to planet Galman in 2205 via the Garmillas Evacuation Fleet, and the Garmillans as an entire people once again stood on their original homeworld, rejoining their Galman kinsfolk that they were abducted from thousands of years ago.[26]
