Ami

Diet: Herbivore
Danger Level: Low
Social Ability: High
Culture: Friendly, Religious
Galactic Class: Shaman

Information: An extremely peaceful race whose small empire many leave alone. This is because of the number of allies it has produced. Occasionally, this race will uplift a random specie of wild animals into a sentient race capable of space travel. The result is a multitude of alliances spanning the quadrant of space they live in.

Unfortunately, their allies have problems getting along with other uplifted races. The Ami refuse to get involve in violent matters, and will often watch the unfortunate battle take place. While they end up losing allies this way, they seem to maintain their integrity and dignity as a peaceful race.

Within their own empire, the culture is rather organized in their religious practices. What little leisure time they have to themselves is often spent running chores such as restocking their supply of food or doing the wash. Their government powers are elected based on their faith, so as a political power, they collectively are represented by the most peaceful and level-headed member of the race. Economically, they are rather poor, but have often received aid from their allies who have not abandoned them entirely as thanks for uplifting their specie.

Nobody is sure how this race uplifts others, but the planets in which this event have occurred are usually marked by some kind of monolith.
