  gaians   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A Gaian is a radical Green who views the ecology of the Earth's biosphere not only as the basis of human moral examples, but of all cognition and even sentience.
Political Gaians are a relatively recent offshoot of the ecology movement—and get their name from the Gaia hypothesis, a scientific theory first developed by James Lovelock.
New Age Gaians in particular seem to resent this label, as their goals are spiritual not material.

 The Gaian Ascendancy
However most of this was on the premsise of the Gaians preventing the Zetans from expanding, and when a diplomatic exchange revealed Gaian intentions otherwise, the Zetans lost their bait hook to cause war and swiftly after, Hiei was imprisoned by Zetan authorities.
While the Gaian shields managed to keep the weapon from striking the Holy Palace Tree, the weapon did detonate in the in the atmosphere and caused damage to a wide tract of Gaian land, enough that two hundred and fifty thousand plus Gaian souls were immolated in the effect.
Meanwhile, the Gaians of the Ascendancy managed to continue on for the present, moving on with the Conference, stopping a war between the Deatharons and Zetans, and moving forth with the formal alliance with the Abh.

 RCW Occult and Pseudo-Occult Lexicon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Gaians have appropriated the concept of "Eight Sabbats" from duotheistic Modern Witchcraft, but there is no organised clergy to perform the rituals, which are rarely performed on a regular basis or as a cohesive whole 'Cycle of the Year Wheel'.
Gaians make no formal committment to Gaian spirituality (indeed many Gaians deny the existence of Gaian spirituality or consider it an oxymoron), and Gaians tend to drift in and out of the Gaian community.
The one thing all Gaians do seem to have in common, however, is that they are from or share the beliefs of Western European Christian cultural groups who see the Earth as feminine and passive, and by extension, the Sky as masculine and active d'apres the Paganism of Ancient Greece and Rome.

 Gaians (Keyblade Chronicles)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Gaians are a unique race of creatures that, while they are somewhat human-like, are known for their rigid religious system that forbids them from using technology.
Their hair, also, is unique in that it hits every part of the color spectrum from fl to white and everything in-between, which is amazingly natural, though the reason is unknown.
As a race, the Gaians, due to their group religion/government, have shunned all forms of advanced technology, using only magic and physical fighting to solve their disputes, regardless of what their foes use.

Gaians were the first race (atleast recorded) who managed to build a working stargate allowing them to travel between systems instantly.
Gaians who had little weapon technology then were almost crushed but they managed to stall the enemy by rerouting their stargate networks while researching weapon technology like crazy.
Finally Gaians were able to drive them back but as a final sign of hatred Maluks released a bio weapon on Gaian colonies.

All the star systems colonized by the Gaians were collectively referred to as the "Gaian Outreach" including those outside of the Gaian Reach that were eventually colonized by the use of the as yet-to-be invented three parsec space drive.
Trons all across the Gaian Outreach were so shocked that they came to believe that the Gaian government that brutally murdered many of the most loyal and trustworthy of Tron workers had become as insane as Governor Broadsides had been.
Awful Green Things From Outer Space of the Gaian Reach, the Ritvik Megascum of the Jewel Reach, the Tyconauts of the Astron Reach and the Coneheads of the Geometry Reach all either became starfaring races or vastly improved their starships although none of them were able to do better than two parsec Jitlov hyperdrives.

 Civilization Gaming Network Forums - View Single Post - Some miscellaneous thoughts on Dee
I like Gaians most of all, it was the first I tried when I got the game, and feel I am most successful with that faction.
In fact, I've only lost 1 game playing Gaians (that versus Mark) which was set up a bit different than a normal MP game (in his favor of course, haha).
Gaian's are the best in an early game, and since most MP games I've been in barely go over 100 years, the Gaians are in the top 3 simply by default -- as long as you know how to start them off.

Gaian scientists start cooperating with the Vidiian medical scientists, who, although very advanced in their field of research, have become somewhat fixed in their ways and viewpoints.
For this treaty, the Gaians offer their knowledge of a very successful cooperation they know of.

The one thin the Gaians didn't know was that the Gods they worshipped were the cause of all their pain and misery...
But the Gaians were really advanced in defensive technology, after all these years of war and hate.
The Gods told them to go to the other planet, near Gaia, which was known to the Gaians as Eternal Lands, because the old religions of Gaia spoke of spirits of dead hero's who roamed there forever, in peace.

 Gaians and Extropians (the unnesessary dichotomy)
Gaians and Extropians (aka Transhumanists) may constitute two great divergancies in the vision of future human development
On the other hand, Extropians seem aimed at a future in which humans devour and transform this planet to their own creations, then leave it to continue this activity throughout the universe, probably as minds uploaded to self replicating cyborgs.
I agree that there is a big difference in values between gaians and extropians; Jaron Lanier called it the Steward/Extropian division and Hugo de Garis the Terrestrialist/Cosmist views.

 Mending the Bodices - Romance by Janet Miller
Since the introduction of the Gaian’s new weapon, a beam capable of incapacitating the mighty Earthforce ships, deactivating all systems and essentially paralyzing them, Earthforce had turned to the use of small fighters, two-man Moongrabbers and single pilot Starbursts to run interference.
The Gaian twisted out of her way – a thin trail of vapor showing it had been hit.
As she watched, a Gaian fighter used a tractor beam to push one of the disabled fighters into the docking bay of the Earthforce Destroyer.

Gaians - The Gaians are notoriously strong creatures that seem like enlarged humans.
One may think that the Gaians are brutes, but that is an incorrect assumption; of all the creatures, the Gaians love peace the most; civil conflict is almost unheard of between the Gaian tribes.
In the very few conflicts that the Gaians have participated in, it is for traditional and cultural purposes, in which no one is actually killed, but the fight is usually used to symbolize something.

In fact, the only binding criteria for being a Gaian are that you breathe and eat; that you process energy, matter, and information.
The task of conscious Gaians, then, is to find the most effective ways possible to awaken unconscious, oblivious Gaians—especially those, like George W. Bush, whose profound ignorance is coupled with arrogance, hypocrisy, and immense power and will to do harm.
The next step is to join or create groups of others who share your Gaian values in learning, teaching, healing, or creating Gaia according to your own interests, whether by political advocacy, education, or hands-on projects.

As for gaians, I like the challenge of roleplaying- building nothing but forest and fungus, and capturing and utilising native life as much as possible.
I know that Gaians always capture the first or second mindworm but anybody noticed that the 1st free scout that comes with the first colony always have a better chance than others (captured windworm, rover discovered in a pod) to capture mindworm even when he is very green?

It promised to be a long one, and the Gaians were hurriedly preparing for the onslaught of freezing cold weather that their village, higher in altitude than the city, would be subjected to.
On one chilly morning, shortly after the Gaians had broken their fast, Great White approached Amber, a stern expression painted on her face, mirroring the expression she had borne the day she arrived in the village.
It is not a long practiced tradition because the Gaians are not a very old tribe, but it is well honored by all of the members.

There are only three requirements that I know of to be a Gaian: One must (1) breathe air (oxygen and CO2), (2) drink water, and (3) eat food.
So the crucial difference is not between "believing" Gaians and "unbelievers" but rather between *conscious* Gaians and *unconscious* Gaians.
Our task, therefore, is to turn as many unconscious Gaians into conscious Gaians as possible--and to take every action we can, of course, to prevent ignorant, willfully unconscious Gaians like George W. Bush, et al.

The main choice for the Gaians is whether to mass their forces for an all-or-nothing invasion, or split them up for a riskier, but harder to stop, multi-pronged attack.
In addition to the Gaian forces, the Morganites also need to be ready for explosions of wild mind worms caused by their ecological disruption.

 MkzdK / Gaia Nation / Gaian and Extropian
I don't expect it to be possible to reconcile these different values, and instead hope they can co-exist (if necessary by having the extropians go into space or something similar).
However, I think you are misrepresenting the extropian position (which in turn leads to an even stronger polarization as extropians decide gaians are polemic tree-huggers and so on).
Imagine that you do opt to colonize space, I mean you personally also, in say, 25 years, and along with the rest of the extropian tendency, leave the planet to the "stewards", the "terrestrialists", Gaians, whatever...
