Welcome to Goss traveller

`The following information cites the personal realities and perceptions of the Ku’ Lin people of Goss and does not represent any form of religious belief whatsoever.´ Definition:

“Ku’ Lin”

noun l \’ Kwh·Leen \

Meaning: “Between Lies”

  • Ku’ Lin is the auditory embodyment of its people’s belief and can carry the meanings: “you are”, “you heal” or “you connect”, depending on the context of the sentence it is used in.
  • “Ku’” derives from the tribe’s name for earth goddess: “Ki’ Uras” (Curer), whilst “Lin” means collection or networks of tribes or groups in the nation’s native language. Ku’ Lin can so with be interpreted as healer or curer of people or nations.
  • Ku’ Lin has the secondary derivative meaning of “Between Lies”, because the god spirit is also often equal to that which lives between the physical, molecular realms in Ku’ Lin belief. “Lin” as a network of individuals, tribes or groups, is then seen as a derivative to lies, because Ku’ Lin believe that once we begin cooperating as a community, we begin to exchange truths and slowly, with every time they are passed on and not rediscovered on a fundamental, spiritual level by an individual, they are distorted and eventually become lies.
  • In this sense the word Ku’ Lin’s figurative meaning is: “The practice of maintaining spiritual and fundamental truth, in between the lies the material realm tries to distort us with”.

"As we practice Ku’ Lin and do not pursue worldly matters without soul purpose, we become connected to our true selves and so with to the Verse. In this perfect original state of being, we realize that we really are the Verse/the world we live in and that our environment is no different from our own physical body. Because of this, Ku’ Lin’s most universal definition is in fact:`True´."

Introduction:

"We could easily be at peace, if we considered one another. Once we begin to take, we take peace from ourselves."

- Ku’ Lin are an ancient people indigenous to the planet Cassel in the Goss solar system.

- We are traders at heart and take pride in fulfilling contracts to the highest of standards. We have been trading with the Banu, Xi’ an and Tevarian people for many millennia, which has caused the art of long distance trade to become the most popular occupation of our people.

- Our second most common specialization is agriculture. We are considered naturalists by UEE officials because we regard nature as living perfection and containing everything needed to live a healthy and fulfilled life. Plants are conscious beings and should be acknowledged as no different from any other living entity. We believe that they are the link that connects the plants whom have learned to walk, to their nurturer, the mother spirit of their home planet. Because of this we attend to our plants as relatives and they respond by sacrificing their fruits to us at a far greater quality, compared to when they are raised with only the bare necessities to live. For this reason our biological produce, medicines and remedies are renowned as a phenomenon on markets throughout the verse.

"Standardized technology is a primitive science and a form of compensation for one’s inability to gain from nature, or to replace a part of ones own nature that one has not discovered yet."

UEE relationship:

When the UEE discovered Goss and encountered the humanoid Ku’ Lin people there they were forced to engage in one of the most elaborate cover up operations in UEE history. The UEE recognizes us as an alien species because we were here when they discovered Goss but because we are Human as they are, they decided to brand us as religious outcasts of early Human settler communities, in order to avoid extensive conflicts with Human history. They have promised to one day reveal the truth about us to the public, once they have found a way to do so efficiently, or they find more certain evidence of our history and circumstances.

"When we first encountered the UEE, they quickly realized that they would have to change history in order to justify us being here and within a years time after we had learned the English language, they hastily offered us a formal disclosure agreement to make the settlement of our system less problematic. This document stated that we would only reveal ourselves to the settler communities after 30 years of them having been stationed on Goss and that we would then claim publicly to have split away from the settler community, in order to found our own isolated society deep within the jungles of Cassel (Goss ll). In return the UEE agreed to give us privileges of prime ownership over vast territories of Gossian land surrounding our already existing residencies and easy access to UEE citizenship. Additionally they granted us the right to migrate at will to the newly terraformed planets Goss l and Goss lll and to list us as applicants for the Native Species Protection Acts, which the UEE upholds for all other indigenous cultures it encounters in the verse."

- We do not often communicate openly with outsiders as we spend most of our lives in dedication to insight into the sub matter dimensions. We believe that every being is born with a connection to the universe, which represents its personal nature and that the leaders of many a nation try to superimpose science on people, in order to make them no longer believe that their own spirit is credible. When asked about our spirituality we can not answer directly, because our spirit is a normal part of reality to us and we do not know of the separate term; “spirituality” being an external option one may choose to pursue. We believe that if we are not spiritually conscious, the physical world should not be engaged with at all.

"Even if you know nothing of our ways, if you wish to trade or affiliate with a people whom persist, no matter if it is thought they should or not, you will find a true ally with the Ku’ Lin people."

CTZN News – Media Coverage of the Ku’ Lin Nation

Philosophy:

- By dedicating to advanced meditative techniques called “Khin”, we eventually achieve a constant meditative state throughout our day to day lives. This can already begin to occur after a period of only three months of Khin meditation for someone born Ku’ Lin, but can also take up to five years for an outsider if they are troubled by letting go of their physical beliefs. Shortly after achieving conscious meditation, the furthering of the practice eventually evolves to become: “Ku’ Lin”, which is the returning of the spirit body to its intended state of existence: a complete converging with the Verse its self.

"We spend most of our lives living in perfect harmony with nature, far away from the tourist locations and farmlands of Goss. We make use of nature’s gifts to dream of and communicate with ancestors and nature’s spirit. We call this spirit the all encompassing and driving Verse and believe it is interconnected with everything that exists within it without limitation."

- The intake of psychoactive plant life from early childhood until our passing is an essential part of of Ku’ Lin culture. Ku’ Lin DNA has evolved to encompass the active agents of Goss’s flora and the effects of these plants have a much different result when we use them compared to humans. This tradition is often accompanied by ritual and varies between phases of regular intake, micro-dosing over longer periods of time and abstinence for the sake of vision in purity. This tradition, in combination with a life of excessive meditation often makes our eyes appear clouded, as if they had no pupils and some even say they glow in lesser lit environments.

– Ku’ Lin belief states that the material world is but a small fraction of a greater eternal reality and that it can only be engaged with non-destructively if it is constantly treated as just this; a gift that may disappear at any given moment and that must thus be honored all times.

- Animal Brothers: By studying our home world’s wildlife and living in true acceptance and harmony with it, animals of all types accept us as allies, allowing us to train them to the highest known standards among humanoid species. If you are well known and trusted among our people, considered more than just an associate and have knowledge of our philosophy of the treatment of the animal kingdom, you may acquire a fine animal companion from us, if he agrees to accept you as his family.

"We call this philosophy or energy: “Filva”, meaning: “sentient coexistence” in Ku’ Lin mother tongue."

- Our many settlements remain concealed to any whom are not native to our tribe. The forests that shelter them consist of ancient trees which are tens of thousands of years old and the lush vegetation of our homelands is so dense, that even even highly trained UEE Marine squads have been known to abort recon missions due to the troublesome terrain.

"Infamy is not our goal, neither is abundance of wealth or influence. If we obtain these things by our actions we embrace them with regulation and consideration of the spirits at all times."

History and Lore:

- Our legends say we split apart from Humanity shortly before it arrived on Earth and that great natural disasters destroyed their first civilizations, causing them to forget their origins. When the Ku’ Lin Seekers sensed their arrival was near, we prepared for an event we never expected to occur. Following the announcement of the shamans, our scout ships rallied at the jump point and watched Humanity’s ships enter Goss with small numbers at first and greater military force shortly thereafter. We avoided them completely for quite some time, but after we picked up deep planetary scans on our arrays, we knew that they must have discovered our presence and chose to approach them in due civilized respects. After meeting their leaders and learning their languages, we realized quickly that they had lost all knowledge of their origins, that they no longer were a part of us and the could no longer see the Verse. Later, when we discovered the multitude of cultures still present on Earth, we regained hope, as we had found that there were still a fair few that knew of the origin of everything. Sadly these good people were greatly disregarded amongst Humanity’s tech based cultures and we learned that their governments had caused people of spirit immense suffering for many generations, whilst only acknowledging their humanity in formalities. These times in Humanity’s history had changed for the better within the last six hundred years, but the marks of emptiness in their people’s souls showed that they missed a large part of their own eternal growth due to their horrific past.”

- Our most ancient tales tell of a time many aeons ago, when our people were forced to evacuate our home system for unknown reasons and thus began a great interstellar migration through the depths of space. Shortly before we reached our new home the convoy of capital ships that carried what was left of our population, was alerted by a scout ship which had detected a possible collision course with an incoming super-comet. This monolithic threat caused a small group of capital ships to change course, split away from the remaining convoy and end up finding a habitable home in Goss whilst the rest of Humanity ended up settling on Earth in the Sol system. Shortly after it’s arrival on Earth, great natural disasters and wars brought about a near wipe out of Human civilization on the planet, causing a complete amnesia of their heritage and scientific achievements. Ku’ Lin on the other hand continued to practice our ancient culture without interruption for many generations and approximately 100.900 years later, we re-encountered our own kind, when Humanity’s technology had evolved enough to let them travel among the stars once again. Our reunion with Humanity was although at first anticipated with joy, still somewhat a disappointment, as we soon realized that our lost brothers refused to acknowledge the stories we told them of their origins. Their DNA had evolved significantly to suit Earth’s atmosphere and they had become greatly disconnected from the verse, causing them to believe that they must conquer in order to be happy.

"Instead of trying to forcefully bring on progression, we simply prevent its disruption by living a life that does not hinder it."

- Contrarily to Humanity, we eventually reached such an advanced understanding of the Verse that technology became almost obsolete to us. We had achieved a status quo of self sustainability, renewable energy and completely biodegradable synthetics before we once left our original home world and after we had called Cassel’s incredible ecosystem home for a long enough time, we took our technological evolution to the next level by returning to a completely naturalistic way of living, whilst only using technology where it was absolutely needed.

"As nowadays Humanity prides its self in having achieved technological greatness, it is known that they once forgot about the great science of self which existed before there was a need for technology. Although their legends tell of such a time in a story they call: “The Garden of Eden”, they eventually lost a definite connection to the universe that cradled them and thus proceeded to wander blindly, whilst worshiping science and power for most of their new beginning."

- We believe that it is our responsibility to foster our knowledge of the universe around us, by furthering our connection to the sub-matter dimension and trading with other alien races. Those that know nothing of our beliefs mistake our knowledge for magic and report that we have discovered a way to interconnect our spirits with technology in a very subtle, yet highly meaningful way. To us this phenomenon is nothing special though, as technology is also only a fragment of the universe its self and as we believe;

"If you know what the book is made of, you need no longer read it to know what is written inside."

This Ku’ Lin saying means; if you are connected to the book (the universe) in a fundamental way, everything that exists within it is part of its nature and is so with familiar to you.

- Even though we are strictly against industrialization, we still run sophisticated tech, of which we have known since before we came to Goss in small, hidden, underground construction facilities, growing houses, chop shops, laboratories and scanning arrays.

- We acquire much of our synthetic technology through the salvaging of battlefields recent and ancient. Many relics and prehistoric battlefields lie scattered across our homelands, overgrown by vegetation and never discovered by modern people. We know our home system like no other and we often scan out combat signatures or even sense them with the help of clairvoyance. Our meditative techniques enable us to cultivate a sensory bond with the electromagnetic frequencies and dark matter fluctuations our home system consists of, which grants us the the ability to sense events many light years away, by the impact they have on the fabric of the space-time continuum. Sometimes a shaman may awaken from a state of meditation with a shout, only to tell his scouts of having sensed death and suffering somewhere in the verse. Our shamans call this process: “seeking” and do not only use it to find salvage, but also to sense the presence of hunting game, pinpoint incoming threats, and even to channel great prophecies. This ability is a product of evolutionary conditioning through constant practice and the passing on of knowledge and techniques over hundreds of generations, if not more.

"One will witness a mocking smile on a Ku’ Lin’s face when outsiders debate that our medicine may be magic, as we learned that some of Earth’s religions where corrupted to make them believe that their own nature is evil and that they should mutilate this part of their spirit in order to find god. Contrarily, we believe that the path to finding the great spirit is not to banish a part of ones self, but to choose the good path willingly and knowingly."

UEE Intelligence:

- Ku’ Lin people are a rare sight to behold. Civilians whom have met one recall that being in their presence gave them a sensation of being exposed to a subtly exhilarating, rejuvenating sensation. They are often revered by those whom have met them as compassionate, kind people, whom despise any form of malevolent intent. It is common hearsay that the Ku’ Lin possess precognitive abilities which when confronted, they openly state are a normal part of their nature and not supernatural at all.

Goss l

It is estimated that they consist of approximately 30.000 tribes people on Goss l, of which an estimated 10.000 work on its vast farmlands. Their intimate bond with nature helps them achieve almost 400% of the productivity of non-native run farms which is still not explainable by UEE scientific standards. These facilities provide a great source of income for them, which they only reinvest in trade and the process of sustaining a governing influence in Goss. This investment’s purpose is to stop the tourism industry from taking over their most prized of all possessions, that which they call their temple or their church and their only protection from infiltration by modern culture, the perfect ecological state of their homeland.

Cassel (Goss ll) “Wodun”

Ku’ Lin people’s home world and the first planet they settled on after arriving in Goss. Approximately 120.000 live on Cassel which the Ku’ Lin people call “Wodun”.

The name “Wodun” is a mix of terminologies that are considered to be main elements of spirituality to the Ku’ Lin people, namingly: “Woh” (nature/past/heritage), and “Dun” (Ideal spiritual state of being and doing simultaneously, or: true existence).

Hardly any of the tribes people there mix with the tourist industry, as they despise any type of life afar from nature or the serenity of a perfectly silent space craft on a long trade run. Cassel’s ecology is the embodiment of Ku’ Lin beliefs and a place of tranquility and high worship for them. This is the reason they also began to half jokingly call it their “Castle”, after learning Human languages and realizing that their home had been named “Cassel”. When Humanity discovered Goss, they terraformed Goss l and Goss lll and as the tourist industry became a burden in the eyes of the natives, a fair amount migrated to the newly blooming, neighboring worlds created by the UEE. Human industry leaves plenty of jungle to live the secluded life Ku’ Lin prefer, but they are still rarely seen running storefronts in the city, trade stands in alleyways or simply loitering in such peddling dried psychoactive plants. These plants are more than often considered contraband by the UEE but they are nothing special to the Ku’ Lin, as they grow up using them for religious and ritualistic practices from a very young age and they are highly biologically accustomed to their effects. Rarely, if one seeks a connection and happens to make the right acquaintance, one may be directed or escorted to a secluded Witchdoctor’s lair in midst the city, where Spiritual guidance and charms or said herbal remedy will be available for purchase or trade.

Goss lll

No one knows how many Ku’ Lin live on Goss lll since the UEE has it on lock down. Even though it is a restricted area for civilians and tourists, UEE military reports list many sensory registries of incoming and outgoing Ku’ Lin spacecraft, which they simply can not intercept as the timing of their takeoffs and landings is so perfect, that it is only ever recorded on scanners. The UEE have given up the attempt of policing this traffic because the Ku’ Lin have almost no ecological footprints on the planet’s surface and they never interfere with UEE procedures. Since the planet is completely covered in rain forest, the tribe’s hidden villages and thought to be partially underground settlements simply have not been discovered yet. Additionally the UEE acts under policy to not interfere with any indigenous life forms whatsoever on Goss lll and Ku’ Lin happen to fit the bill. The only signs of indigenous presence are the sometimes willingly placed irregularities and humorous signals which science convoys and rangers encounter from time to time.

Internal:

Legend has it that a troop of rangers ten man strong once encountered the Ku’ Lin on Goss lll. This is an urban legend among soldiers stationed at Goss lll, yet some soldiers will claim to be the descendants of those having been present. They will tell the story as it is also said to be archived in UEE records, but redacted to all but officer or even general ranks because of its humiliating nature. Apparently the troop was scouting the edges of UEE known safety zones two generations ago, when within an instant the entire squad stopped dead in its tracks, afraid to even blink. They had patrolled so close to a group of Ku’ Lin twenty man strong, that the perfectly camouflaged warriors simply needed but take a few steps from their hiding places in order to be detaining the entire ranger squad at gunpoint. In an apparent moment of life and death, the warriors not engaging in acts of detainment brought forth necklaces made of Vodun Flowers and hung them around the ranger’s necks. The detaining men then unarmed the rangers, walked 20 steps ahead and placed the UEE weapons on a pile of leaves to protect them from being soiled and then disappeared again, into the vibrant green vegetation they had emerged from.

If you ever meet one, state: “Yedi N’ala” as a greeting and he will know that you are sincere. The phrase means so much as: Magic is not god and is a core principal of Ku’ Lin belief. It’s figurative meaning would be: “The supernatural is only a tool and its practice does not make you a god or worth more than any other being”. In this association the word supernatural is defined as the evolved natural or: “That which is natural, yet developed beyond the norm and so with seemingly magical”.

Ku’ Lin claim that to the great creator spirit, our mental abilities are not magical at all, but simply a part of our own nature that many of us have forgotten with time and begun to fear when re-encountering them.

Event documentation:

18.02.2945 – Link – UEE mystified: Not a single tribe member of Ku’ Lin Nation affected by Lynch Fever

18.10.2946 – Link – A prophecy on Goss lll

27.10.2946 – UEE officially acknowledges stars as entities.

UEE CLASSIFIED:

HUMANOID LIFEFORMS DISCOVERED ON CASSEL, GOSS. – IMMEDIATE DISCLOSURE OPERATION NECESSARY.

Initial Contact: 10 years after system discovery – 4 years after deep planetary scans – Friendly, withdrawn.

First engagement results: Friendly, cooperative, Intelligent, .

Diplomacy:

First Encounter: The assigned recon marine squad initially failed to locate target entities, whom revealed themselves via an ambush at evac location. Recon reported that targeting lasers suddenly marked them from all directions during boarding, causing the marines to surrender their weapons immediately. Shortly thereafter several shamans emerged from the foliage and displayed a brief exchange of symbolic communications with the present UEE diplomat. While this was happening the Ku’ Lin ambush snipers revealed themselves, laid down their firearms and signaled the UEE marines to retrieve theirs and in doing so willingly gave up their strategic advantage to a complete surrender. The diplomat immediately ordered the marines to stand down and approached the shamans further to receive a display of several ritualistic gestures and giftings. Marines report seeing the native warriors only retrieving their arms after evac was airborne.

Second Encounter: Command assigned a full scouting fleet to the mission. Upon returning to target area, not a single member of the tribes people was armed. After a mere two hours of engagements and festivities, Ku’ Lin reveal women and children whom seem to have no fear whatsoever of the present Marines. After the third hour their Shamans were already beginning to speak English to an eerily efficient degree.

Official Diplomatic Arrangement: Subjects state that they have no interest in hostilities and promise to refrain from any such actions prior to and infinitely beyond diplomatic engagements. After a brief introductory ritual presentation by the Ku’ Lin people, UEE representatives present Ku’ Lin leaders with contractual agreement, requesting Ku’ Lin Nation to refrain from contacting general population for the sake of disclosure and within 30 years after first contact, officially state to have split off from Human settler communities in order to pursue alternative, religious lifestyle. In exchange for their their participation, subjects are to receive primary indigenous species status, land ownership rights and easy access to UEE Citizenship – Ku’ Lin agree whilst requesting additional natural preservation policies – UEE offers reassurance that the protection of Cassel’s nature is a fundamental element of strategic interest.

Intel:

Name: Ku’ Lin

Language: Hav’

Biology: Humanoid, Human.

Estimated Population: 300.000-400.000

Demeanor: Peaceful, intelligent, spiritual, naturalist. Subjects possess heightened scientific and technological understanding. Reject technology to a degree to pursue natural ideology.

  • Subjects are highly elusive and adapted to natural lifestyles.
  • Subjects claim to be connected to the Verse and to possess the ability to see future intent with no difference to seeing physical occurrences.
  • Subjects are profoundly self conscious and can not be deterred from their tribal and religious agendas / wish to be respected as individuals.
  • Subjects possess vast knowledge of biophysical processes which they claim is given to them by the Verse.

During first diplomatic engagements a subject cured a present soldier of a life long derogatory nervous system illness, by first asking to attempt to do so and the soldier casually agreeing. Apparently, the soldier was seated within a circle of leaves with a shaman during diplomatic talks, where the shaman only meditated without touching the individual. The marine in mention returned to headquarters completely relieved of his affliction.

Caution: Soldiers and representatives on site said to have been spooked by subject individual’s ability to speak past presented agendas and address primary mission goals not yet revealed to them.

State of Technological Knowledge: To what is known, on par with humanity. Subjects possess an elaborate space faring trade culture with all other known alien species and are highly capable in terms of engineering spacecraft, medical facilities, scientific laboratories and weaponry.

MILITARY INTERESTS: None whatsoever except self defense. Tribal communities possess several guerilla fleets of alien space craft and weaponry and have adapted to include Human technology since contact.
