Maorin Stat

"Developed by a racist society as a refuge during the end of the First Imperium, the settlements were taken over by a wave of folk fleeing the break up. Prominent among them were the Maorin Starfarers, descended from the Maori of Terra. Developed since then in a distinctly non-racist manner, the Maorin Stat has offered opportunities for any who cared to settle there. Although adequately agressive in self-defense, the people are not expansionist. Sharp traders and well able to defend themselves, they range freely throughout the local starsectors."
