Viori

The Viori are an alien race who have roamed the stars for many years as nomads. Never settling in one place for too long, they wander the galaxy. In the year 36 BC, one of their space ships crashed on the Australian Western Plateau. Their space ship was damaged and buried. They themselves were worshipped by the natives as gods until 318 AD, when the last of the Viori perished.

Physiology
Viori are humanoid in form. It is thought that their skin is blue, and maybe a bit scaly, but they are always in armor because they cannot breath unassisted in the Earth's atmosphere.

Society
The Viori society is very family oriented, with each family travelling as it's own group due to the nomadic nature of their society. Each family works to operate their own ships, and they stick together for many years. Nothing stops children from leaving the parental unit, but they tend to return once they have begun a marital relationship with another Viori. This can result in the creation of large clans within Viori society.

Whenever a major decision that affected all Viori needed to be made, a Great Conclave would be called, with each family recieving a vote in determining the decision of the Viori species.

Technology
The Viori are in possession of extremely advanced technology. This includes weather control and faster than light travel. This, in addition to their enviromental support suits, made them appear as gods to the Aborigines. They were very careful with the technology they granted to the Aborigines. Most of the help was in the form of peaceful technology, however, they also gave the Aborigines some gunpowder weapons that they could use if they were attacked.

Using weather control technology, they were able to create a hundred mile zone around the continent of Australia which had no wind movement in it whatsoever, preventing the sailing craft of the world from reaching it. This was later disabled. The Viori were also sucessful in using their weather control technology, along with other advanced technology, to terraform Australia's Western Plateau from a desert into a fertile grasslands. This allowed the Aborigines to develop an agrarian society.

They also used their medical technology to provide the aborigines with vaccines for amny of the diseases that plagued them, as well as other medical advancements. This allowed the Aboriginine population on the Western Plateau to grow exponentially.
