The avian Borlovian people, originating from the world of Borlov (a planet), used intricate, complex whistles and trills as their method of communication. As a species known for their shyness, they possessed a medieval-era society that placed great importance on maintaining the status quo; movement and alterations were strongly discouraged, leading the majority to remain within their original city or village throughout their lives. The concept of space exploration was virtually unheard of until the Borlovian outlier, Llollulion, made his exit in the company of Booster Terrik, a smuggler.
