Translations:Codex: Sydians/23/en

Though extremely unpopular among other Tarkus races and held in a literal stone age by their diets and tempers, observation suggests sydians are no less intelligent than the galactic average. Their culture is tribal and traditionalist, with little room for scholarship or what would be seen in higher societies as a progressive attitude toward sex and gender. Most sydians have accepted the limitations of their biology; some prominent individuals publically express quasi-neo-Luddite, anti-technology opinions. Conversely, a few have left their colonies, using specially-tailored clothing to study machinery in detail.
