"Social Science officer reports that it is a society at a low level of development, using crude wheeled vehicles powered by primitive combustion engines using carbon-based liquid fuel, and no structures higher than about 10 meters except for decorative elements found on religious structures of some sort. Most structures are constructed of elemental stick frames made of indigenous tree material. Monitoring of discussions among the natives indicates a strange, apparently folklore-based belief that attempting to construct structures taller than that is either technically impossible or if done, will cause the planet to spin off its axis. There seems to be considerable hostility expressed by some residents towards any sort of development or progress. This seems to be a largely unsophisticated and poorly educated populace."
