Ologan

**Ologans** were a sentient species native to the destroyed planet Ologi Minor and later the manmade planet of Ologi. They were recognized for their short stature and floppy ears. The Ologans were famous for their technological innovations and intellectual prowess.

## Biology and Appearance

The Ologans were only similar to humans in respect to their bipedalism. The Ologans were distinguishable by their diminutive sizes, big floppy ears, and reddened noses. An Ologan's skin tone could be either green, grey, or white in color. Their hair was similar to humans, with colors like blond and brown. Their eyes, which were rather big, could be colored either black, cyan, green, or lime green. They possessed opposable thumbs, just like other humanoid sentients did.

As the Ologans naturally had very poor magic conductivity, they made up for it with their gifted technological prowess and supposedly bigger brains than the average human or humanoid sentient species.

While the Ologans did not have the capability to reproduce with humans nor with most other sentient humanoid species, it was believed they could reproduce with Algathans, which were a species closely related to the Ologans.

## Society and Culture

Above all else, innovation and the pursuit of knowledge were key Ologan values. Ologan society was split up into three different, yet cooperative ideals: preservation of the present, recovery of the past, and construction of the future. Attending higher education such as college or university was mandatory on their homeworld of Ologi. Because a surprising number of Ologans saw other races as extremely inferior in terms of intellect, they very rarely enrolled others into their schools. Their value of academia, along with their other great technological novelties like ringworlds encircling entire stars, gave the Ologans a somewhat elitist reputation throughout the galaxy.

Because of their technological innovations, the Ologans had seemingly transcended death through life-extension technology. In the modern era, many Ologans who resided on the species' homeworld or colonies considered death from old age a thing of the past. Regardless of their perspective on death, the Ologans had two crucial ideals: the recovery of the past and the preservation of the present.

## History

### Out With the Old, In With the New

The original Ologan homeworld of Ologi Minor was completely strip mined, to the point where unnaturally large earthquakes occurred, thus causing the destruction of tectonic plates. Lava leaked out from the mantle, creating a polluted atmosphere from all of the ash and smog.

And thus came an Ologan man named Orson Wellian, who founded the Dyson sphere project that created a new homeworld for the Ologans. Wellian's colleague Dyson, for which the Dyson sphere concept was named after, had already cemented the blueprints for the creation of Dyson spheres. These blueprints and ideas were based off of the pre-existing concept of manmade Ologan ringworlds that encircled stars. With this established, the creation of the Ologi Dyson sphere was not too difficult of a feat, as the technology had already been made possible.

Anything considered significant to Ologan history was either moved to their new Dyson sphere homeworld of Ologi or completely reconstructed, before the eventual destabilization of their original homeworld's core.
