Abh
The Abh are a space-dwelling race of artificially-bred humans in the fictional universe of Crest of the Stars. The Abh were originally bred to be slaves for Earthlings. One group of these early pioneers, left their mother space city to live on their own. Unfortunately, their fear that their masters would send a force back to destroy them was too great and eventually the Abh rose to destroy their mother space city, which was too weak to even plan retalliation. It is said that every Abh carries the guilt of the mother space city's destruction on one shoulder.
The Abh all go through genetic manipulation before being born to maintain the purity of being an Abh. All Abh are beautiful, with blue hair (which is a requirement for being an Abh). They also have a very long life expectancy: well over 200 years, but they age very little. Thus, a 200-year-old Abh would die looking exactly as they did when they were 25. Abh are also space-dwelling and space-faring. They are born in space and stay there for their whole lives, refusing to so much as set foot on land. Their language is called Baronh whose meaning is Abh-language in their own tongue.
In the Humankind Empire of Abh, there are eight royal families from which an emperor or empress is chosen. In Crest of the Stars, Lafiel is the granddaughter of the current empress, who is from the Clyuve family - Nei Dobrusk, and is, thus, a princess who is potentially in line for the throne.
Morioka Hiroyuki, the original author of the various Crest of the Stars novels, even created a full Abh language and alphabet. More details of which can be found at Seikai no Monshou.
