The Brachiosaurus FactBook

Brachiosaurus
28-06-2007, 00:58
Official Name: The Cheifdom of Brachiosaurus
Adjective: Brach(s)

Government Type: Intergalactic Confederation
Head of State: Grand Cheiftain Ogre
(earth head of state is Grand Cheiftain Khal) The Grand Cheiftain is selected by the cheiftains at their annual meetings.
The Cheiftains in turn are elected by the populace.
The Brach Confederation is not a unitary governement. They are independent groups that have colonized various star systems throughout the Milky Way and have begun the colonization of intergalactic space and the Andromeda galaxy. The Brach's are the oldest of the dinoid species and have the most advanced technology of them.

Legislative Branch: The Great Council. The Great Council is a group of people who advise the Grand Cheiftain. This group is appointed by the Grand Cheiftain and often is made up of friends, relatives, or patrons.


In 2006, the Brach's returned to earth. Fearing a backlash from the more primitive humans residing on the planet and having been refused permission to land on the territories of the various earth nations, the Brach's (using their technology) created a new landmass in the middle of the Pacific, about 200 miles north of Hawaii.
The new landmass was the size of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Alberta, Alaska, Quebec, Portugal, and Tanzania combined.
Because even in the far far future, super advanced technology was really really expensive, each exploratory mission was given only one Xanadu (mother ship, see Military Stats). Hence, when they arrived, the Brachs numbered only 5 million. Each expedition has one mother ship, 30 Hemhoks, and 1 Vato scout ship. However they had the technology and excess materials to build some Glags, Vootoos and Xillians.
When they arrived on earth the Hitler Paradox (named after a Troodont Economist by the name of Benjamin Hitler) came into effect. According to Hitler's Paradox, even though you are more advanced than the peoples of a planet or system, you could be still be vulnerable do to economic weakness. The weakness being that your superior tech does not mean that the locals have to accept your currency as valid. Hence, when the Brachs arrived on Earth, they knew their currency was worthless.
So they gained hold of some earth currencies and produced a minute amount. But not a lot because part of the Hitler Paradox was that if you start making and distributing local currency, that currency loses value and you become a culprit if the resulting inflation causes a national or global economic collapse. So the Brach's started making modern tech things to sell to the Earth people for money until the Brach's created their own currency.
The Brach currency is used only in Brachiosaurus and has not been seen in foreign lands as of yet.
Because the earth does not have the right resources, the Brachs of earth cannot build another Xanadu and the current one will run out of Dilathium Crystals in 500,000 years.

A. Bombers:
Glag

The Glag is the Brachs basic bomber:
http://www.isil.org/news/space-ship-one.jpg
It moves at a snaily 800 miles per hour and carries up to 4 500 lb bombs.
The Glag was first used on earth during the Brach civil that pitted the Brachs against the Troodonts.

30 Hemhoks
The Hemhok is one of the most advanced and the biggest bomber craft of the Brach race.
Image not available.
It is the atmospheric entry craft that is used to carry people from the mother ship into a planets atmosphere.
Each Hemhok is 20 miles in diameter and comes equipped with energy shields which are impermeable to all modern tech weaponry.
The energy shield can be weakened with class 14 photon torpedoes (FT) however. 12 hits with a class 14 PT tends to overwhelm the system, causing it to shut down and leave the ship itself vulnerable.
Each Hemhok moves at a slow blimp like pace when in the atmosphere. The maximum atmospheric speed is 500 miles per hour. In space, the maximum speed is Warp 10.
The Hemhok typically carries a crew of 85,000.
It is ringed with 25 "Defense Ports", each of which has dual laser cannons. In the middle of the underbelly of the craft, is the primary weapons array which fires a high voltage beam of electromagnetic photon energy which, when used, causes an explosion similar to that of a hydrogen bomb but without the radioactive effects. The weapon works by creating a massive firestorm capable of destroying cities smaller than 500 square miles. This weapon has been nicknamed the Fumigator by humans because it reminds of fumigants used to eliminate pests such as cockroaches.



Motherships:

1 Xanadu Mothership.
No picture available.
The Xanadu is the biggest spacecraft developed by the dinoid races. It is roughly 50% the size of the moon or 1,080 miles in diameter and contains several smaller ships, known as Vikings, that are used for entering a planet's atmosphere.
The Xanadu is capable of a maximum speed of Warp 30 and carries up to 5 million people at a time. This ship is so huge that when it moved near the moon, the moon literally trembled. The Xanadu has shielding technology which mostly used to protect the ship and its inhabitants from interstellar radiation and rogue comets/asteroids that might stray into path. However the shield has been known to block laser weapons and modern tech anti aircraft fire.
The ship has no defensive weapons other than its energy shield.
The Xanadu carries 30 Hemhoks, or AEC (atmospheric entry craft).


B. Fighters:

20 Vootoo Fighter Craft:
[URL=http://imageshack.us]http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/5959/vfightercraftel5.jpg
The Vootoo Fighter accompanies the Vato scout ship and is the Vato's primary defensive measures.
The Vootoo does not have the shielding of other Dinoid craft. It is a subwarp craft. Maximum speed being 5,000 miles per hour or 83 miles per minute.
The Vootoo's primary weapons are two laser cannons. The crew complement is 2 and the craft can act as a troop carrier to carry special ops forces or it can be used to carry 10 diplomats or 10 civilian passengers.
The Vootoo is highly visible to radar and does not have stealth technology. But it is resistant to laser weapons. Because of its lack of shielding the Vootoo is vulnerable bullets and anti aircraft fire that is fast enough to catch up to it.
The Vootoo is the basic fighter of the dinoid races.

Fighter Bombers:

Xillian
The Xillian is an intergalactic multirole combat spacecraft.
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/4196/mavorcha.jpg
Capable of moving as fast of warp 9, the Xillian carries up to 30 crew and passengers.
It uses photon torpedoes that are used to attack other spacecraft or attack targets on the ground.
In addition to energy shields, the Xillian is also equipped with cloaking technology that renders it invisible to infrared, ultraviolet and visible light wavelengths.
The Xillian uses a matter/antimatter reactor for power. It also has 2 fusion power engines that kick in should the M/A reactor fail or shut down in an emergency.
The Xillians Deflectors are used to counter enemy fire. The photon torpedoes are bases the Brach's matter/antimatter technology. The ship can also carry gravity bombs.
Xillian can carry a class 15 photon torpedo, two of which have been demonstrated to be capable of destroying the energy shield on a Hemhok or Xanadu spaceship. Once the sheilds are down, if the main reactor of the Hemhok is targeted, one class 15 photon hit will cause the ship to explode.



Exploration Craft:
10 Vatos

The Vato is an instellar scouting craft.
Image of a Vato as it flew over the north american west coast out to the Pacific Ocean after entering the atmosphere. A Vato needs a lot of distance to slow down because of its high acceleration during space travel. This Vato entered the atmosphere over France and didn't stop until well over the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
http://www.mistersf.com/images/v02.jpg
The Vato is used for scouting new star systems and to transport pioneers to new systems.
The typical Vato can transport up to 20,000 Ceratosaurs, Deinans, Troodonts, or it can transport 5,000 Brachs.
Because the laws of relativity apply to dinoids as well as humans and other species, a Vato is never launched with maximum complement because it is accepted that dinoids will reproduce during space travel.
The Vato, unlike the bigger Shema craft, does not have shielding or cloaking technology. Though, some Vatos have been equipped with cloaking technology. But these craft are experimental only.

Military Technical Information:

Military Technical Information:

1. Ion Cannon:
An ion cannon is a fictional beam weapon that fires beams of ions which are atoms that have been given a high electrical charge. Due to their electrical charges, they also have the potential to disable electronic devices, vehicles, and anything else that has an electrical or similar power source.
Ion cannons are used primarily to disable to enemy ships and electronics.
Ion cannons can also be used to protect a planet’s surface from alien invasion by being designed to destroy rather than just disable a ship.
Ion cannons can be placed on satellites or on space frigates or sea battleships.
Ion cannons kill everything within 10 meters of the target. Ion cannons cannot penetrate shielding technology.

2. Shanaku:
A weapon capable of destroying its target by causing the molecules to break up into its constituent atoms. This device is used mostly against nanotechnology threats.


3. The Wormhole Hyperdimension Bomb:
This WMD is banned by treaty. It is capable of destroying all life on a planet by transporting an enormous amount of Hyperspatial energy through a wormhole onto a target. It can destroy an area the size of the United Kingdom and the resulting dust cloud would destroy the entire human race as well as just about all other earth life.
Possession of this weapon is punishable by death.

4. Wimp:
An anti shield weapon. It’s purpose is to knock out an enemy ship’s shielding device whereby making the ship vulnerable to attack.
These devices are extremely expensive and difficult to build because of the high amount of protonic precision needed, and cost $5 trillion earth dollars to produce

5. Vacanu:
Personal shield technology. This device creates a defensive shield around an individual. Due to the limited space and resources available to Brach’s on earth, this device is banned. This ban enables the use of war as a form of population control. Also, even if there was no ban, the Brachs of earth don’t have the exotic material required to make such devices.

6. Hemiash:
A hyperspatial fighter craft. It has photon weapons, has a cargo hold but no cloaking or shielding technology. A Hemiash can be brought down by modern tech weaponry if attacked while stationary.


7. Shock Grenade:
A small ping pong shaped grenade that causes the target to become unconscious. It works by emitting a blinding light and a deafening sound.


8. Gip:
A wand shaped device about an arms length which is used to cause cloaked person or object to decloak by overwhelming the cloaking mechanism.

9. Cloaking Technology:
The Cloak of Invisibility: Uses metamaterials. Metamaterials are artificial materials that have properties that do not occur in a natural state.
The CI would eventually lead to cloaking technology.
To make an invisibility cloak, surround an object with metamaterials (the outer shell in the image below). Assemble the metamaterials in precisely the right fashion and light waves that pass through the metamaterials will bend around the object, like water flowing undisturbed around a rock.
Have you ever seen the billiard trick where the pool shark is able to make the cue ball go around another ball to sink the shot? The real trick is not that the ball in the middle was avoided, it is the impressive way the shooter got the cue ball to curve outside its normally straight path and then return to accurately reach the same end point.
Light and other electromagnetic waves typically travel in a straight line, taking the shortest path between two points. Only a fair amount of gravity, like that from The Sun or a black hole, have been proven to alter that path. Dinoids have achieved that same kind of effect using advanced artificial materials.
In space, we use the technology to deflect harmful space radiation. This is how we are able to travel from system to system.

10. Lasons:
Lasons are laser weapons. They emit a glowing beam of light energy. Handheld models can stun humanoids at lower settings or vaporize solid rock without explosion at its highest setting. Ship's lason cannons can vaporize large areas and can be modulated to evade shields to disable enemy spacecraft.
Lason cannons have a range of 500 miles. Lason Rifles and guns have a range of 2 miles.

11. Afx:
A banned biological weapon that is produced from biomimetic gel, retroviral vaccines, isomiotic hypos, and plasma flares.

12. Photon Torpedo:
Self-propelled missiles consisting of a small quantity of matter and antimatter bound together in a magnetic container, used as a tactical weapon by starships.
Photon torpedoes are the preferred weapon when a ship is at warp drive since they are not limited by the speed of light, as ship's lasers are.

13. Quantonic Bomb: A banned weapon of mass destruction that causes a tear in space and time when used.

14. Genetic Weapons:
Weapons that destroy the genetic structure of the organisms they target. These weapons are composed of genectically engineered viruses which attack the genome.
These viruses are designed to mutate rapidly, wipe out entire ecosystems within days, and then die out after a month. Those using such weapons could therefore slay entire planetary populations without destroying the planet's infrastructure.
Genetic Weapons are categorized as Class G Weapons which are banned by interstellar treaty by the 4 dinoid races.

15. Shinz:
A battle air craft that does not have cloaking, warp, or shielding capabilities. They use laser weapons. Their maxium speed is 2,000 miles an hour


16. TH-23:
A laser pistol. A standard personal sidearm characterized by a focused energy discharge in the form of a beam. It is equipped with an adjustable setting, allowing the user to choose from either "paralyze" or, in extreme cases, "kill."


17. Qas:
A small short-range attack craft , carrying a standard crew of 53 and armed with laser weapons of only a .5 megajoule capacity.

18. Quantum Torpedoes:
Quantum torpedoes rely on harnessing zero-point energy, increasing their destructive power to above the maximum capable with a photon torpedo. Specifically, the zero-point initiator is activated by an uprated photon torpedo warhead at 19.5 isotons, producing a final explosive yield of 50+ isotons. Furthermore, the pattern of energy release (duration, vector, etc.) makes the blast more difficult to disperse by starship shields, increasing the tactical effectiveness beyond that of a photon torpedo even more. They also Utilizes an eleven-dimensional spacetime membrane suspended in an ultra-clean vacuum within the projectile. The membrane is then twisted into a string and isolated from the background vacuum, resulting in the creation of a new particle, which is accompanied by the release of a tremendous amount of energy."

19. Niknok:
A handheld, shoulder fired laser cannon.

20. Shinook:
A laser rifle which has fully-autonomous recharge capability, multiple-target acquisition, and gyrostabilization.

21. Jill:
A shoulder fired artillery weapon. It fires bursts of shokons (artificially produced shockwaves).

22. Photonic Grenade:
Photonic grenades short-range, variable-yield explosive devices that generate a powerful electromagnetic pulse. These devices are capable of stunning humanoids in an enclosed area at lower settings. Photon grenades can also be launched with a mortar, to attack an enemy hiding in a defensive position and out of direct line-of-sight.

23. TM-89
A rifle which fires latinum bullets. A TM 89 Magazine holds up to 50 rounds and can be heavy.

24. TM 90
The machine gun version of the TM- 89

25. Sharnis:
Sharnis are mines.
There are 3 types of Sharnis:
Space, Land, and Water.
These are designed to prevent enemy travel. Usually small, unmanned devices, most Sharni mines explode either on contact or when their proximity sensors detect an enemy nearby. The deployment of mines is generally considered an act of war among the dinoids. They can be either anti personnel, anti spacecraft, antiship, or anti tank.
26. Thingan:
A thingan is mine that is equipped with cloaking technology.

27. Vector:
A vector is a device used to detect Thingans.

28. Phermonial Bomb
A bomb which homes in on a specific target individual's pheromones. On earth Phermonial bombs are equipped with conventional modern tech explosives.

29. Hij Fighters:
A light defensive fighter equipped with laser weaponry. It can not carry missiles or bombs. It is capable of warp one travel.

30. Scrol Fighters:
These are versatile fighters that can also be used for patrols and scouting. They can carry lasers. These fighters are built to survive a crash landing on a planet’s surface. But they cannot engage in combat while in descent. The main laser weapon is in the front part of the fighter and has range of 800 kilometers. These weapons are famous having been used in kamikaze style attacks by suicide bombers. The shield of this fighter is most vulnerable in the rear part of the craft. The fighter is also equipped with a tachyon scanner which is capable of detecting cloaked ships.

31. Sneakers:
The sneaker is an atmospheric attack aircraft. It is also a subwarp fighter. While it is capable of space flight, it can only engage in combat in an atmospheric setting. These fighters have shields and are equipped with 2 laser cannons in the front of the craft as well as one laser cannon in back. Crew of Two.

Travel Technology and Misc. Technology:

Warp technology

What is Warp technology?
Warp is a device that transports people or things at speeds greater than the speed of light.
It enables you to go from earth to Alpha Centauri in the same amount of time it takes you to drive the 2 blocks to your local 7-Eleven
Most objects can only move at a max of 186,000 miles per hour or the speed of light.
Typically, for any travelers on board a starship traveling close to the speed of light, time outside would appear to pass faster and faster. And for people left behind on a planet, time would pass slower and slower for their friends on the starship.
However, this presumptious speed limit is based on the fallacy that the universe only has 3 dimensions (according dino scholars). Space is not a static entity, but a space and time make up an 4-dimensional "space-time", a "dynamical entity" that can be twisted and distorted by concentrations of matter and energy.
It is be possible to generate a distortion in this "space-time continuum"--a space warp, using something called "exotic matter", both in front of and behind an object, that would propel it faster than light. Specifically, space-time is contracted in front of the ship and expanded behind it. Creating the "warp field" in which the object travels in like a surfer travels on a wave, and with no speed limit.
The spaceship itself would not be accelerating, and experiences no time dilation. Exotic matter is a hypothetical form of matter (predicted in Inflationary Big Bang Cosmology) that has a "negative energy density". In other words; it creates a kind of negative pressure around it, and is repelled--not attracted--by gravity. (The existence of negative energy densities, has been proven in laboratory experiments). One form of such matter is dilathium crystals and galvanic crystals. None of which are found on earth or its moon as far as we know.
There are none of the time dilation effects experienced by astronauts traveling close to light speed in normal space. And the ship could slow down or speed up as fast as its pilots pleased, without the fear that they would be reduced to the very consistency of strawberry jam by the inertial forces. Inside the warp field, the astronauts would have zero acceleration relative to the space around them.

Fengdon:
In celestial navigation, a mathematical expression describing a direction in space with relationship to a space vehicle
A Fengdon measures the angular difference between the current forward direction of a spacecraft and the direction being described.
The first number in a fengdon describes an azimuth in degrees, and the second describes an elevation. For example, a fengdon of 000 mark 0 describes a direction directly ahead of the vessel. A fengdon of 330 mark 15 describes a direction to the port side (left) of the ship, somewhat above the centerline of the vessel.

Hyperdrives:
These engines enable spacecraft to travel between galaxies in matters of weeks rather than eons. From the Andromeda to the Milky Way, it takes 4 weeks using a hyperdrive.
A spacecraft equipped with one can traverse 1,000 light years in just 5 minutes.

Travel between galaxies would be impossible were it not for the development of the revolutionary hyperdrive propulsion system. The term hyperdrive refers to the engine and interrelated systems that propel a starship through the alternate dimension of hyperspace. In hyperspace, there is no limit to how fast a starship can travel, and thus interstellar distances can be traversed in mere minutes.
Before entering hyperspace, a pilot must supply exact coordinates derived by the ship's navicomputer. Without precise calculations, a ship may collide with a body in hyperspace with catastrophic results.
Although largely reliable, constant modifications to a hyperdrive can render it untrustworthy.


Vemu:
Anti gravity dry dock for repairing or building ocean going vessels on dry land.

Shanatu:
A device that enables people to travel through different dimensions. It also allows you to see creatures from another dimension though you can’t interact with them unless you are actually in their dimension.
Using this device, it has been found that creatures known to earthlings as shadow people, demons, angels, and ghosts were actually creatures that lived in a different dimension that somehow became trapped in this dimension.

Dilathium:
Dilathium typically occurs as a crystalline mineral. Streams of matter and antimatter directed into crystallized dilithium generate plasma that is used to power the warp drives that allow starships to travel faster than light.
Dilathium’s chemical symbol is Dt, its atomic weight is 92 and it is a member of the hypersonic series of elements.
While it cannot be replicated, Dilathium can be recharged by using fission reactors to generate high-energy photons that could cause the crystals to regenerate.
Bombing a planet with Dilathium bombs can destabilize the planet and cause huge geological displacements resulting in things such tidal waves, mammoth earthquakes and an epidemic of volcanic eruptions which could destroy most life on a planet.
Dilathium bombs are banned by the Grogar Conventions which was signed by all four Dinoid species: Brachs, Troodonts, Deinans (Veloids), and Cerans.


Iek:
An agricultural chemical that is used to increase crop yields 5 fold.


Xiv: A primitive type of engine used to convert space matter into fuel for propulsion, similar to a ramscoop

Grunjion Emitter:
This is a handheld device that is used to decontaminate areas that have been subjected to recent radioactive exposure. They are currently being used to decontaminate the Republic of Brachiosaurus after that nation suffered a major nuclear strike by the earth nation: IHTA.


Replication:
A replicator can create any inanimate matter, as long as the desired molecular structure is on file, but it cannot create antimatter, dilithium, or a living organism of any kind. Gold-pressed latinum, the material of which Brach currency is made, cannot be replicated due to the its complexity at the quantum level.
A replicator works by rearranging subatomic particles, which are abundant everywhere in the universe, to form the molecules required by the formula at hand. It then arranges the molecules in accordance with said formula to finally create the substance; e.g., to materialize water, the replicator would first form hydrogen and oxygen molecules in immense quantities, and then arrange them according to the chemical formula of water.
This process requires the destructive conversion of bulk matter into energy and its subsequent reformation into a pre-scanned matter pattern. Replicators must be capable of a large number of different materials on demand. If patterns were to be stored at the quantum level, an impossible amount of data storage (or a set of original copies of the materials) would be required. To resolve this, patterns are stored in memory at the molecular level.
The drawback of doing so is that it is impossible to replicate objects with complicated quantum structures, such as living beings, dilithium, or latinum. Like your laptop, replicators are known to cause read/write errors in the items they produce. Additionally, read/write errors cause a number of single-bit errors to occur in replicated materials. Though usually undetectable to human senses, computer scanning can be used to reveal these discrepancies, and they may explain the frequent complaint (by some gourmets and connoisseurs) that replicated food and beverages suffer from substandard taste. These errors also may cause a nontoxic material to become toxic when replicated. Hence it is illegal in Brachiosaurus for some materials to be replicated.
One of the most convenient technologies in the Brach Confederacy, the replicator is used primarily to provide food and water onboard starships, thus eliminating the need to stock most provisions. (Starships, starbases, and other installations stock some provisions for emergency use, in case of replicator failure or an energy crisis.) The Replicator is also used to provide breathable air on ships and starbases (and to disassemble the carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew), thus providing an endless supply of oxygen and eliminating the need to carry air tanks. The provision of water and breathable air is the primary purpose of replicators on motherships.
The technology is also used for producing spare parts, which makes it possible to repair most ship damage without having to return to a starbase. The quantum resolution factor, however, precludes the mass production of the highest yielding weapons, such as quantum torpedoes. Other applications include replication of Starfleet uniforms, as well as everyday objects such as toys and souvenirs.

It is illegal to replicate any sort of weaponry without a government license.
Replication of any medicine is restricted to medical personnel bearing a valid identification code.
Replicators can also convert matter into energy. This is how they are used for recycling. Following that principle, the device can dismantle any object into subatomic particles. The ensuing energy can then be stored for future use or immediately applying in a subsequent replication. This process is referred to as "recycling", and is applied to everything from dirty dishes to outgrown children's. clothes; in the case of the latter, the replicator uses the energy to produce new items that will fit the child.


The Shanoy Sensor:

With a Shanoy Sensor, a crewmember can gain valuable information about his environment without being an expert in planetary sciences, geology, meteorology, chemistry or electromagnetics.
No need for a laboratory. It can detect life forms from a distance of several kilometres, analyze the composition of rocks and call up entire libraries of information. It even can detect subtle subspace distortions. And it fits in your wallet too.

The sensor is a masterpiece of miniaturization. It has 235 mechanical, electromagnetic and subspace devices. Its faceplate display is completely dynamic, taking specialized appearances depending upon which device is in use at that moment — it can even be customized to suit the preferences of its user. The Shanoy Sensor can also be used underwater as well as in the vacuum of space.


Oj:

Space cities. They are equipped with shielding technology, photon cannons for defense, and long range space sensors. These floating cities also have sensors that detect contagions such as Eubonic plague


Lop:

A data storage device capable of storing up to 10 terabytes of information. They comes in 1 tb, 5 tb and 10 tb versions. (TB=terabyte)


Guamu:

This is the ability of ascension. Guamu is not a technology as much as it a form of knowledge. Using Guamu, it was found that you could leave your body and become an energy like being and move to a higher dimension. To be able to achieve Guamu, you must attain a high level of wisdom and knowledge.
The Brach’s have encountered such earth people as Jesus, Moses, Darius, Confucious, Buddha, Pope John Paul II, George Washington, Sitting Bull, and Menachim Began in their ascended states in the higher dimension. Very few people have the ability to Guamunize upon death. Though they have ascended to a higher plane of existence, these people can still be destroyed with the right type of technology. However, most beings who have Guamized have no interest in war or destruction and usually interfere in earthly affairs only to give warnings or to heal. Though there are outcasts who visit the earth dimension with hostile intentions.
These beings can seen using a Shanatu.

Brach Culture:

When greeting someone in Brach society it is customary to raise your riht hand to eye level, turn the fingers inward so that your palm is facing you and the fingers are pointing to the left. Close the fingers until they are touching the joints where the fingers connect to the palm. Raise the thumb.

Just as humans wave their hands as a way of saying hello or goodbye, this is Brach hand sign for both hello and for "Go in Peace."

Failure to return this gesture is considered rude and offensive. In some communities it's considered an insult if you don't return the gesture and you can be fined.


In Brach society it is required that the you get the parent's permission before taking a female out on a date, regardless of their age.

There is a thing in Brach society called Kasutra. That is when you don't want to hook up with a person but just want to have sex with them. This is usually done through the universal hand sign of raising hand, balling it into a fist and then raising your middle finger. Usually it is the females who make the advance but the males have the option of whether they wish to accept or reject the invitation.

Roasted Ferns mixed with dried seaweed is a delicacy in Brach society. If you are offered it, it is very insulting to refuse it.
