Translations:Codex: Leithans/16/en

Some Leithans attempted to protect themselves in high-walled cities, and because of this protection and stability, were marginally more successful and advanced than their roaming cousins when First Contact happened. Many of the walled cities had developed primitive flintlock-era firearms and cannons, with which they were able to fend off predator attacks — one city even created primitive rockets to guard against aerial attacks. Since their uplifting by the U.G.C. in the Third Great Planet Rush, Leithan cities have become veritable fortresses against their one-time predators, and the race has eagerly adapted to the advanced technology the Confederacy brought with it. They have adapted so well, in fact, that in the modern day Leithans are valued as exceptional engineers and technicians, especially in regards to machine maintenance and robotic tech. Many top of the line drones, turrets, and unmanned vehicles are produced in Alpha Centauri or on Leithan colonies.
