Alien Species of the Week: Alavallan

Homeworld: Currently the Alavallan live almost completely in spaceships, but there ancestors came from a place they call Point of Origin
Height: Slightly shorter then a standard human
Average Lifespan: 1'700 Standard Years

The Alavallan are one of my favourite species, mainly because I came up with them. They are a race of humanoid space-fairing anarchists with dreadlocks. All Alavallan skin is grey, except for the tattoos (they are actually past down genetically).
Alavallan physiology is endlessly complex. They have four lungs that can adjust to different atmospheres and pressures, which allow them to go onto planets without the use of an environmental suit. They have an eating cycle , so they only need to eat three times every Alavallan Standard Year. There bodies also carry large amounts of nano-probes which act as immune system and blood filtration so they have no liver.
Alavallan think like humans in many ways (e.g. embracing of paradox, curiosity), there psychology differ in three ways .One, there entire social structure is practically nonexistent. Some species believe that each Alavallan ship has a Captain, this is untrue. Second, they think at a much faster rate. The Alavallan brain is the ideal storage capacity and a standard model usually carries 1900 to 2900 languages, advanced starship engineering, advanced piloting, advanced hacking, and advanced breaking out of buildings. Third, they are open, VERY open to other cultures. They are so open they will practically except anything.
Despite there all too obvious lack of formalized government, they have been known to play highly in the affairs of other species. They consider themselves to be a force in the universe to prevent war and have completely changed species to do this. They prefer doing it before the species can travel outside there home planet.
In spite of there lack of formalized government Alavallan are experts at subterfuge and politics. Probably in there long travels they discovered leadership and decided to use it for there advantage. Alavallan usually hide this fact by acting as if the have no comprehension of leadership or government (e.g Shut up, Comrade Bush). In truth, a single Alavallan can bend an entire empire to his or her will.
Religion is one of there main ways of maturing. There ways of maturing with religions is usually changes from species to species, but in some cases they used the same religion on different planets. So the inexperienced human space man could be surprised when he lands on a planet inhabited by Lizard-men to discover that are Roman Catholic.
Alavallan have a long history with humans. After Earth was declared part of the Enayon Empire, the Alavallan hade to completely change religions in this part of the galaxy. They made empires and then destroyed them so that the religions would spread farther. They set themselves up as Gods to rival the Enayon. Practically ever religion on Earth has something to do with the Alavallan.
