The Altans are the progenitors of the Federation, hailing from the utopian planet of Alta. They are a technologically advanced species.

Altans are capable of building some of the largest interstellar vessels and orbital stations in the Federation, and such is the advanced state of their technology that they rarely deign to equip them with weaponry.

Altan architecture combines advanced technology with clean, organic lines that harmonize with the environment. Structures are vast, with keen attention paid to maintaining large areas of open, green space.

Altan interior architecture mirrors the exterior, following the same organic theme and typically comprising large central atriums off which private quarters branch.

Triactor-derived head paraphernalia are incredibly popular amongst Altans, with designs varying greatly based on each individual’s preferred fashion style. It is thought that these adornments enhance one or more basic senses, as well as intellect.

Altan vehicular technology follows the same theme as architecture, with smooth organic lines and typically ergonomic and aerodynamic designs. Personal vehicles are created in a bespoke manner to match the tastes of the individual owner.
