Qwinpol People

If there is one thing that Ezra never thought they’d miss about Earth, it is the water. Something about how water tastes on other planets was nowhere near refreshing as it was on Earth. Sure, chocolate comes at number one as, like Earth’s water, it is hard to find something in the Wexmadios Galaxy that compares to that taste.

Ezra had been pretty bummed about it until they met the Qwinpol people. An ethnicity within the Lopforics (humanoid-like giraffes), they were exiled from their homeworld after being seen as too passive in the wars. They were left to roam the galaxy with no way to return to their home without ensuring their own destruction.

Sympathetic to their plight, Ezra sought to learn more about them and why the Talconos residents both revel and disgust of their ethnicity.

The Qwinpol beings are notable in their fierce neutrality. They refuse to aid any side of any issue because of their own cultural ethics about violent conflicts. This extends to their goods being inherently unable to do harm to its owner or others.

Yet, despite these ethics ruling out the sell of any items that have the potential to harm, they still had the denizens of the galaxy seeking them out for their goods. Once found, these same denizens, poorly masking their disgust at their species, would pay hundreds of thousands in Wex credits for each use of a small, but rare, technology.

The ability to use memories to change the sensory input of interacting with any item is a boon to those who lost something irreplaceable. Keepsakes, their own sensory abilities, home…

It’s no wonder why the Qwinpol’s neutrality is tolerated by the masses if only to still use this technology. Especially since said no one could not crack and replicate technology unless they themselves are Qwinpol.

It took Ezra nearly twenty years since their arrival at the Wexmadios Galaxy to get the means to pay and get on the waitlist that had a lead time of three years.

It was worth it, though. Earth water, even if was a memory hidden in millennia of archived memories, still tiers high before any of the alien water.
