Cartenians do not have the concept of marriage in the typical sense. They do not mate for life. Instead, they exist in large family groups co-mingling within them...though incest taboos among close relatives typical of all animal life in the galaxy are strongly in force in these arrangements as well. To allow Cartenians to have a good choice of mates, families will actually "marry" each other to join their households together. The resulting household still retains the separate family identities and families will generally eventually "divorce" to move on to other relationships. In these splits, children are generally divided up with little fuss, and Cartenian children make attachments to new adult guardians with ease. | Cartenians do not have the concept of marriage in the typical sense.

The Amorta is a grueling underwater race held every year. The orioginal event was held on thier original homeworld of [[Cartenia]], although both [[Arturia Prime]] and [[Meldovia III]] hold their own version of the popular race annually. Most Cartenians hope compete in the Amorta at least once in their lives. | ||
