This blog here will talk about the Humans who live in the Epsilon Eridani region in our galaxy. Their Solar System will also be talked about. All info here comes from Sheldan Nidle's book Your Galactic Neighbors.

Location and Status

The constellations of Eridanus is located between the constellations of Orion and Taurus. Eridanus is best known for its second brightest star (Beta Eridani), known as 'Cursa' which sits near the star Rigel at the foot of Orion. This bright star is 89 light years from our planet. Epsilon Eridani is positioned 10.5 light years from our planet, near the middle of the constellation of Eridanus. Celebrated as one of the first solar systems ever discovered by our astronomers in the late 1990's, this star is very similar in size and composition to our sun. Epsilon Eridani known to her people as the star nation of Jadok-san, was accepted into the Galactic Federation Of Light 3.7 million years ago. Like Sirius and the Star League of the Pleiades, Epsilon Eridani is one of the star nations that together forms part of the Sirian Federation Regional Council. This is the same Galactic Federation Regional Council on which our solar system's star nation will sit.

Epsilon Eridani Solar System And Description Of Home Worlds

The Solar System of Epsilon Eridani much like a lot of other Solar Systems in this galaxy has six planets, and is similar in configuration to that of Sirius B. Just like Sirius B the Epsilon Eridani Solar System has two main home water worlds, the largest being her third planet, which is called Erza. This world is very similar to Earth, except she is one quarter larger. This world has six main continents and five large, deep oceans, is nearly 70 percent water. Just like our planet she teems with life. By contrast, Bertak, Epsilon Eridani's forth world, whose oceans contain the planet's supply of just less than 50 percent water, is known as a large, Saharan continent. On this planet stands a main temple of the Epsilon Eridani people that is dedicated to the study and dissemination of heart logic. The people of Epsilon Eridani enjoy a Galactic Society which is very similar to that of Sirius B. Here, to accommodate the broad study of heart logic in Epsilon Eridani galactic society, the six clan Lyran/Sirian social order has been modified to an eight clan system.

Origins Of Epsilon Eridani Society

Epsilon Eridani as well as the next star nations to be discussed, Eta Hercules, and Alpha Aries (Hamal), was first colonized by expeditions from Sirius B. Although each had intially embraced a galactic society very similar in concept to that of their former Sirian home worlds, Epsilon Eridani also maintained a large contingent of colonists from the more distant Andromedan star nations. If we examine the achievements of the people of Epsilon Eridani, we find that, while they are passionate about the role of individual inner logic in enunciating truths, they feel that they themselves are blessed with a highly intuitive heart-logic. They devoloped these talents at the time the colonists from Sirius B united with those from Andromeda. The result was a new understanding of how spiritual science could be applied to solve a society's problems and advance its levels of technology. By applying both, the Epsilon Eridani became distinguished scientists in much the same way as their Andromedan ancestors. Consequently, their many logic schools support the Andromedan concept of unity created through diversity. These same schools also embrace the great Sirian concepts of duty and spirit. The Epsilon Eridani combined these two components and created a society slightly different from either the Andromedan galactic societies, which possess twelve clan councils, or the Sirius B model which has six.

Epsilon Eridani Galactic Society

The people of Epsilon Eridani created their own unique eight clan galactic society. This modified model was based upon the retention of the original six clans, which are called the Spiritual Warrior, Administration, Science, Science Engineering, Life Sciences, and Life Sciences Engineering clans. In  a departure from the classic Lyran/Sirian example, the people of Jadok-san added two additional clans. The first, known as the Cultural History clan, which deals with the concepts of creating cultural unity within an extremely diverse cultural society. It is a modification of the cultural tradition and history clans found in the twelve clan Andromeda model. The second, known as the Spiritual Heart Logic ('Baruk') clan, is unique to this Epsilon Eridani 8 clan prototype. This second clan develops techniques to make different tasks work holistically. That is, this clan has been given the crucial task of presiding over the development and use of the 'the spiritual logic of the heart'. Following the clasic model, all of these clans establish their own main clan governing councils. The councils, in turn, send representatives to Epsilon Eridani's main governing council. At this point, we notice another difference. During sessions of this governing council, distinguished liasons from the Spiritual Heart Logic clan serve as special presiding referees to assist members of the main governing council in solving whatever problems or difficulties may arise. The people of Epsilon Eridani found a way to combine components from the Lyran/Sirian and Andromedan models for Galactic societies. This wondrous talent has made them celebrated throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. In effect, the Epsilon Eridani people have applied the Andromedan ability to create unity out of diversity. These they combined with two great trait of their Sirian ancestors a wonderful spritual aptitude, and a famous sense of shared and personal spritual loyalty to the Great Blue Lodge of Creation. For this and other reasons, the Epsilon Eridani people are renowed, galaxy wide for what they refer to as 'spritual logic of the heart' - their applied, intuitive reasoning - and  for using that reasoning to analyze and successfully resolve any given situation. The people of Epsilon Eridani are highly regarded as truely gifted logicians - a trait this society deems its greatest chracteristic. The logicians of Epsilon Epsilon Eridani are often called upon tp apply this 'spritual logic of the heart' to others sectors of the Galactic Federation Of Light. Galactic Human societies throughout the galaxy acknowledge the great skills of the people of Jadok-san, and are quite happy to call upon them whenever they are needed.

Physical Description Of The Epsilon Eridani People

The Humans of Epsilon Eridani resemble the original Sirius B Human colonists. The men vary from perfectly formed, muscular physiques to child-like builds, and range from 6 feet, 6 inches, to 7 feet, 4 inches in height. The hair is blonde to light brown and eyes are light blue to green. The women stand between 6 feet, 2 inches and 6 feet, 8 inches tall. The skin tones of the people of Epsilon Eridani are extremely pale, light red or light blue. Just like their Sirian relatives, they require only two hours of sleep per day. The clothes are very unique. Unlike their Sirian ancestors, the people of Jadok-san have shied away from the sheer, flowing, short or ankle-length Sirian gowns, adorned with ribbons and other signs of rank or high honor. The traditional Epsilon Eridani outfit consists of gauzy, billowing pants, topped by waist- or knee-length gossamer blouses. Just like the Sirian original, these outfits take the colors of their respective clan. But, rather than special ribbons or epaulettes, various special geometrical designs in the outer blouse determine the individual's rank and the honors accorded them. When on Galactic Feration Of Light spacecraft, the outfit changes to a one or two piece jumpsuit that adheres to the uniform requirements of Federation dress codes. Normally, the one piece design is worn only when there is a mixed crew, consisting of members from several other Galactic Federation Of Light star nations. This often occurs on Science and Exploration fleets assigned to a first contact mission. The two piece jumpsuit design more closely resembles the traditional Epsilon Eridani costume. The pants are baggy, like those worn on their home worlds. The jacket extends just below the waist, much like one of their more traditional styles. This jumpsuit also adheres ro the clan color codes, with the special geometric designs that determine rank and conferred honors. The boots, an integral part of this costume, are designed to merge into the pants so that they appear as one undivided unit.The people of Epsilon Eridani are recognized as avid explores and consummate scientists. They have led some of the most succesful Science and Exploration expeditions into previously unexplored parts of this and other galaxies. The people of Epsilon Eridani are also noted for their superior abilities as administrators and Galactic Federation Of Light Liaison Counselors. They excel in organizing Science and Exploration fleet missions to the outer reaches of this galaxy and have led several first contact missions to other galaxies. The syntax of the original Epsilon Eridani language very closely resembles that of Polynesia. Subsequent Andromedan colonists influenced the language, eventually producing speech patterns whose style and sound are very similar to Chinese. The outcome is a unique and graceful hybrid language, famed for its sweetness of sound. Chants intoned in this language are renowed for their powers to heal and soothe.

The Ships Of Epsilon Eridani

Epsilon Eridani ships observed in our planets skies are part of a large fleet of scout ships, designed to monitor our planet. Frequently, they resemble ships from the Andromedan Confederacy or the Star League of Centaurus. The all purpose science ship, one of the most common, has a diameter of about 45 feet and a height of nearly 28 feet. Its shape resembles that of a Mexican sombrero, and is similar to Andromedan scout ships, or even those from Centaurus. Unlike them, however, the Epsilon Eridani ships main dome (housing the crew and command sections) and its disc ('wing') areas are much thicker. Therefore, these scout ships can carry more scientific instruments and remain in cloaked hover mode for much longer. A second Epsilon Eridani craft is the atmospheric command ship. Shaped like a giant rod, it is approximately 4000 feet long and usually carries a crew complement of 541. Together with a corresponding Pleiadean command ship, it coordinates the daily flights of scout ships in a given sector of your atmosphere. Such command ships transport a crew of special liaisons who analyze preliminary data and ensure that each ship in its sector successfully carries out its mission and returns safely to base. These ships keep in touch with their assigned motherships and make certain that each oncoming wave of scout ships perfectly dovetails with the next. Out of this elegant, galactic ballet flows a constant stream of vital information about our planet. A third type is the special fleet mothership. It is shaped like a large, oblong lozenge, half surrounded by a group of smaller lozenges that are connected to one another by a series of large, round pylons. Its main hull is 4000 miles long. Generally, it serves as the main command mothership on an assignment for the Science and Exploration fleet.
