Introduction and Notes

It is somewhat difficult to both design an alien species objectively, and to provide the reader with information on them while preserving the mystery.  Indeed, the two halves seem to be mutually exclusive.  Therefore, the general format of this page will be to provide information from two different point of views.

The first part of the page will deal with what a dedicated member of the Shostak Institute of Earth would know.  These two views can be shown concurrently, without a redundancy of information, for one will be largely a historical overview, while the other will deal almost exclusively with the impact that such a species, or even the simple knowledge of such a species, will have on "modern" Humanity.

The second part is a history of the species written from an omniscient point of view, in order to provide a full spectrum of information. Even items that a dedicated scientist from the year 3501 CE, the "present year", would not know shall be presented here, or in future updates to the site.
