Fiction:Mendel Pact/Taidhleoir

"In unity there is strength. In the Mendel Pact, there is protection. Together, there is solace in the stars."

- Diplomatic Meditation piece.

The Taidhleoir are the Mendel members in charge of integrating new alien races within the Pact, and open lanes of communication, diplomacy, and unification with these races they come in contact with speak with. Though made up many members of the Mendel species, from Ugandalorians, Kodalorians, and a majority of Walgolorian, many members make up this cadre of diplomats and interpreters. They stand opposite of their warrior-kin, commonly more calm and temperate in disposition, and prone to seeking to work with others. This still fits with Mendel ideals, specifically embracing challenge and evolving, as they believe that by coming in contact with outside races, they grow, evolve and become smarter, as their god Hoorangiir so wishes.

The Taidhleoir's job is not only to see to maintaining relations with the alien allies of the Pact and their members, or integration into the wider Pact as a whole, but also to see to it that the Pact continues to operate at 100% efficiency. Overseeing markets, keeping the bureaucracy in working order, and making sure regiments and military forces get their supplies are all within the Taidhleoir's work ethos.

When working with other races, it is common for Taidhleoir to dress, speak and carry themselves in the same fashion as their alien comrades, commonly even integrating cultural ideals onto themselves so as to better work with their comrades and make things more comfortable, slowly working towards possible integration within the Pact. The Taidhleoir also oversee other things, such as an alien powers' integration into the government, as well as even the setting up and running of re-education camps so as to integrate alien members of military or civilian populations into the pact.

The Taidhleoir, despite what one would think of the Mendel being a barbaric people, prone to answering any slight with their axe or sword, are subtle, tricky beings, capable of manipulation and using beings of lesser intelligence for their goals and bending them to their will.
