Vhnori

     The Vhnori are a humanoid race with very unusual death rituals. They are from the Delta Quadrant.

     The Vhnori world is the site of many naturally occurring subspace vacuoles and these form the core of the Vhnori death tradition. They originally placed the bodies of the dead into these vacuoles believing that this would transport them to the Vhnori afterlife, called the Next Emanation.

     Over time, this practice became combined with euthanasia. Vhnori citizens would enter a device known as a cenotaph that would kill them just before a vacuole opened.

     Unknown to the Vhnori, the vacuoles actually would lead to a planet in the Delta Quadrant. On this planet the bodies of their dead had been piling up for thousands of years.
