The Viali use a clan based system of government intertwined with democracy and other things to help provide order among themselves. These clans provide a basis for the structure of their government, and are the result of long-term specialization, leading to the formation of the most prominent six specialized clans: The Ecliptic, Solaris, Exaris, The Inviolate, and the two sub-Clans of Solaris: Sola and Risa. •••
The highest acting group among the clans is the Crest, a group of Viali appointed and elected into the Ecliptic clan, to help oversee the big picture among the clans. •••
The Ecliptic
Founded on foreign affairs and government, the Ecliptic acts as a meta-clan, holding the other clans and the rest of society together. The Crest resides within the Ecliptic, acting as representatives for the Viali as a species. •••
Solaris
The Clan of the People, Solaris represents all Viali, and it helps to oversee the well-being of all Viali, ensuring the communities dotted around Ryjira, and the sub-communities within each large city remain connected, and well-established. Solaris’ logo acts as the main logo for the Viali as a whole. The clan is internally a merger of two smaller clans, Sola and Risa.
