• Historical notes
  • Shortly after the migration of the Nasat, the Citoac engaged in a brief war, worried that development would deprive their land of the already-low light (SCE Short Story: "Balance of Nature")
  • Said war led eventually to a truce, in which certain areas would be considered off-limits from expansion (SCE Short Story: "Balance of Nature")
  • Details of this truce were lost by 24th century, leading to a second war until the details were rediscovered (SCE Short Story: "Balance of Nature")
• Cultural notes
  • Generally nonviolent unless threatened (SCE Short Story: "Balance of Nature")
  • Little interest in technological development, seeing it as unnecessary (SCE Short Story: "Balance of Nature")
