I should have explained better, since the hadozee were in wildspace at
least since the I Unhuman wars (I believe) their culture is spelljamming
aware.  They are nomads but like all nomads they return to certain spots
time after time, like the "known" Grommon villages which have spelljamming
contacvts at certain times of the year.  Perhaps a hadozee "hiring" fair
occurs annually:)

Sure, its possible:)  It wouldn't go against my concept of the planet.

I meant to say 36 families per clan:).

Always, I just don't use it if I don't like it:)
