Simply make charcoal quite cold and you can use it in place of ferromagnetic slugs for magnetic accelerator weapons.
I will honor your wishes though.
Hmm. I'd assumed there was enough room on a planet for three races to still have different cultures. And remnants of their old separate lives before they originally discovered each other to have survived. such as avalian names, who've come to adopt a simpler name to allow easier acknowledgement by the others with differing cultures.
About the whole Avali culture thing, well the first thing to realize is that there is no remnants of whatever history these races previously had, so the culture may not be the same. The second thing is that their IU culture is still there, just part of the melting pot that is this solar civilization. On a scale from simple to English, the complexity of the language, rituals, and taboos is somewhere off the charts, but that's all backstory that can be segregated, in the name of keeping things less horrifying to roleplay.
