Noehon culture is strictly divided along gender lines. On the home planet of Noe'ha'on, a single "alpha" (physically dominant) male will typically control a "harem" of 10-50 subservient females. Children born into this Weld, upon reaching puberty, are driven away from the Weld if male. Females are stolen by the alpha male of another Weld. Only when an alpha male becomes aged and infirm will an unusually strong and powerful adolescent male be able to successfully challenge him, fighting him to the death and then stealing away the females and youngsters that make up his Weld.
Only a small percentage of the Noehon population has left the confines of Noe'ha'on. They are sometimes found as slaves (their sentience is often questioned on the basis of their barbarous behavior patterns) or as slavers. The more intelligent Noehons are found in technological trades.
The Noehon personality makes them a welcome addition to the brutal Imperial war machine. Noehons who have been raised away from the violent hierarchal customs of their home planet, however, fit readily into the Rebel Alliance forces, where their talents for organization and management and their ability to pay close attention to detail are valued. |
