"Although they are not cooperative with the United Watcher Orders of Samsara (UWOS), they trade with most of the other races, and have been known to immigrate to those planets that have habitats welcoming to their species, such as Earth and Aghart. These pioneers are few and reclusive, most populations dying out before discovery. The species is ruled by several co-cooperating royal families. Disagreements are resolved in committee. Their last war occurred thousands of years ago, resulting in the current system after widespread death and suffering nearly destroyed them. Likely this was one of the impetus for emigration. With peace, their relocation is rare.
Aquilae, as mentioned above, is almost entirely a salt ocean. Underwater active volcanoes have created some islands. The climate is similar to earth with arctic temperatures at the polls and the warmest waters at the equator. Storms keep the islands that have formed mostly barren. The verdure is low and dense. Land mammals and birds do not exist here. Some of the ocean creatures have grown curious and evolved enough to last above the tides. Most of these are crustaceans with a few amphibious creatures. These animals use the sand and rock of the islands for breeding purposes, finding it quite successful for raising their numbers against the multitude of predators that live in the water.
One reason the vetehinen maintain a military is that Aquilae has very dangerous predators that threaten the peace of the vetehinen world. Similar in size to whales and sharks, these great fish feed on just about any species they encounter, not their own. Not all of them, however, are predators of other fish or the vetehinen. Some are quite content to feed on plant life or the tiny schools of plankton like species.
If you were to visit Aquilae, you'd be expected to remain outside the atmosphere on satellite trading posts where your only interaction is with vendors via intercom connecting the water environment with separate air environments. Only vetted persons and dignitaries are allowed beyond the upper atmosphere. This is maintained by the network of satellites and stations dotting their space." - From The Blue Honor Blog, The Soul Races of The Trailokya Trilogy: Vetehinen, January 6, 2017.
