Utilitarianism
An action is right if done for the majority.The circumstances of their arrival into the Anchorage System left them desperately low on needed resources. As a consequence, Command deployed a multitude of strategies to reach double, or triple, the logistical goals in a short span of time and stretch the use of everything they had.
Average technological level
First Generation
The technological way of existence for the delphi was entirely inherited from the pearl people. It is such that they do not have the fullest understanding of how their crafts work. Therefore, most advancements are limited to studying what they have access to and repurposing them. Even so, sufficient insight has typically come from outside groups.Common Dress code
Uniforms
Skintight spacesuits coloured the brightest yellow, red and/or orange to stand out in the event of an emergency in the black void of space.Art & Architecture
Ship Design
Similar to the thetían ships of the Taurus Exodus, the majority of delphi ships parked at Dyson or in transit through the pipeline are pear-shaped. But whereas the quarantine class are comparatively bulky, even with the oversized nose, delphi ships are much smaller with oversized internal space.Common Customs, traditions and rituals

Pearl Directive
The delphi were mandated by the pearl people to travel to Miasmic Astral and setup a foundation for serving the waves of ships who will follow them. However; the Dyson facilities, that would eventually be developed into Piza One, Piza Two and Piza Three, were so derelict. The delphi's timetable mandated that they rest and refit using the stations to support them. But as they had outpaced the thetíans, the delphi needed to make the rings livable and source resources for their ship upgrade before they could move on.Pearl Mandate
