The mere fact that they are rational beings with a behavioral code means they have some sort of morality. Nice try, though. :P

The way you describe them, you RP as a bunch of Randian demigods. Enjoy your objectivism.

Those Morals you mentioned are not human centered values, they are Ta'Nar. By using your Human Standards to judge others you will inevitably decide other race's morals are not like humans because of cultural differences. Hell, we have trouble between human cultures, much less alien ones.

I can recognize cultural relativism and still say you DO have values, even if they're not mine.

And by the way, I do judge other cultures by my own standards IRL, so that "omg not equal" argument won't fly with me. :P

So yeah. You do have moral standards, even if they're different and likely wrong. ;)
