Eubians
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the The Saga of the Skolian empire by Catherine Asaro, the Eubians (called Traders by the people of the Skolian Empire) refers to the people of the Eubian Concord, a civilization founded by Eube Qox which is based on slavery. The two trillion majority of the population are called Taskmakers, and have varying degrees of freedom. Several thousand Aristos occupy the highest echelon of Eubian society, controlling the government, wealth and the military. The lowest echelon of the Eubian Concord is comprised of a few thousand providers, who are psions enslaved by the Aristos, both for pleasure and for transcendence.
Head of Eubian Concord is the emperor, who acts as an absolute ruler. So far all emperors have been from the House of Qox, direct descendants of Eube Qox. Other powerful noble houses are for example: Xir, Muze, Iquar, Taratus or Kaliga. Because Aristos intermarry quite often, most of the Houses are already closely related to each other.
Common language of the many Eubian words is called Eubic. Language of the ruling Aristo caste is Highton.
[edit] Eube's Glory
Eube's Glory, often called just Glory, is the Eubian homeworld, seat of the goverment. The planet was designed according to the wishes of Eube Qox, after whom it was named. Glory has many moons, most of which have no names, just numbers. They get their names after wives of Eubian emperors, that's why most of them are unnamed yet (there haven't been so many emperors and empresses). For the present, only five moons with names exist – Mirella, Zara, Viquara, Prizma and Tarquine.
