{{Image|http://images.filecloud.com/95763/Tyde.gif|right|Tidani|<small>Tidani have gills, but they have technology that lets them breath oxygen from atmosphere. Most of their cities are located under the surface of Aquila's giant ocean as there is very little terrestrial surface area. They are one of two sentient species of the same biological family to develop on Aquila. Today the Tidani and their cousins the Watani share the planet and have created The Aquilan Federation to rule the world together in peace.</small>}}The Tidani and Watani both developed on Aquila. They are closely related, both species are members of the same family. The Tidani are aquatic, but are capable of living out of water with the aid of technology. The Tidani are humanoid. They have long, streamlined, smooth bodies, covered with leathery skin. They are able to withstand extremely high pressures and they have an extremely efficient circulatory system and oxygen conserving physiology. Tidani gills at the base of their skull. They can use their fins, tail, and 'wings' to propel themselves extremely fast, while their webbed feet act as rudders. Using their fins and feet they essentially fly through the water.

Tidan consists of primarily two races. The dominant today is human, ancient celtic, who make up around 90% of the population and make up the leadership. The other is Arderial who were the original inhabitants of Tidan but today are a small remnant of their former power.

The Tidani language is similar to that of other marine life consisting of combinations of shrill and deep tones that carry extremely well under water. In the air their language is less effective but adequate. They are capable of a wide range of vocalizations and easily mastered the language of their neighbors the Watani.
+
Before Tidan became over 90% human it was entirely Arderial. The Avian humanoids lived on the rocky world of Kharik prefering to live in the peaks and hunt in the lush valleys. They were very isolationist and prefered not to venture far into the galaxy. They had contact with a few neighboring empires like that of [[The Humankind Abh]] who visited their world several times during history. They built several large stations and became an important link in the trade routes through their part of the galaxy. In this way they discovered much about the universe around them and the inhabitants of it without leaving their home. After the discovery of the celts and their integration into Tidani society, Tidan suffered a pre-emptive strike from Mirror-Universe Tidan during the time of a large incursion of Mirror Nations centering around [[Nova Bazalonia]]. The biological weapon killed most Arderials and embedded itself in Kharik's ecosystems slowly killing the planet. After this holocaust the human faction of Tidan would take over the leadership role of Tidan and the Arderial Survivors have yet to recover.
  
'''Homeworld:''' Aquila

==Celts==
 +
Earthling Humans. Ancient Celts, taken from Earth during its iron age. They were taken from Earth to be transplanted on a suitable planet on the other side of the galaxy. No one knows who was responsible for the action or what motives they had. For unknown reasons the ship they had travelled in ceased function inside Tidani space. The Arderials rescued the celts from cryosleep and salvaged the ship. The Arderials gave them a home on their planet and have helped the celts advance technologically. Although not overly hostile, the Celts are very militaristic and much of their culture focuses on war.

===The Senate, Council, and Chancellor===
+
 
In the Tidan political system each district elects a representitive to the Senate. At the same time the people vote for a Chancellor. The Senate elects six councellors, experts in certain fields, to the Chancellor's Council. The Council aids the Chancellor in making decisions and presiding over the Senate. The Council includes the offices of Chancellor, Minister of Justice, Minister of Defence, Minister of Law, Minister of Foriegn Affairs, Minister of the Economy, and Minister of the Environment. To pass a law, it must be approved by the Senate and Chancellor. In times of crisis the Council may act independently but the Senate still reviews all actions and determines when these special powers are in effect. The Chancellor can remove a member of the Council if it is believed that they are not fulfilling their duties, or if they are making decisions contrary to the beliefs of the government. Elections are every five years on July 10th. At any time a vote of non-confidence in the Chancellor can take place, if sucessful an election is called for two months after the vote. This act is a long and serious process and is never taken lightly. The newly elected Chancellor serves until the next election was previously scheduled so that elections are alway July 10th every five years, even if another election was called during that period.
