Rintanna

The Rintanna are a humanoid species originally native to the planet Rintanna Prime.
Their main focus of worship centers around the goddess Eywa, the embodyment of all living things.
During the Gilded Age, the Terran Federation discovered the Rintanna and began covertly observing them. However, they soon discovered that the Rukani, whom the Terran Federation had a trade agreement, had been mining the planet. In 2380, an accident at one of the mining facilities led to a noxious gas escaping into the biosphere of the planet, poisoning the atmosphere of Rintanna Prime. In an emergency vote of the Senate, the Terran Federation immediately dispatched a dreadnought, the TFS Everest to evacuate as many Rintanna as they could.
Hundreds of thousands of Rintanna children were evacuated at the request of the tribal leaders. Once settled in Terran Federation space, the children were adopted by several human and non-human families.
