Kasheeta
Kasheeta are a species of reptilian humanoids. They have a matriarchal culture, with males relegated to a second-class role in society. Female Kasheeta vary in color from a bright green to an orangish hue, while males tend to be a dull olive green.
Some Kasheeta, including the royal family, have neck scales of a bright bluish tone, which they claim denotes superior breeding.
All Kasheeta have a bony, ridge-like structure at the base of the neck. Reputedly, this bone contains medicinal properties worth quite a few credits on various Triangle worlds, though there is no reputable scientific evidence to back up this claim.
Kashet has a rigid social structure ruled by a matriarchy, the H’Jarilx dynasty. Under the direction of the Empress of the Domed Cities, Kasheeta practice a selective birth control program designed to enhance feminine qualities at the expense of males, which they consider less desirable. As one might expect, all Kasheetan representatives to the Federation are female. Male Kasheeta are relegated to second-class citizenship, providing manual and domestic labor, with little expectation of advancement within the social order. Even entrance into the elite warrior class is now reserved to the smaller, less powerful females. In some cities, it is illegal to extend basic literacy to males. Female Kasheeta are arrogant and quick to take offense, though they prefer non-violent resolutions to conflicts.
Roughly 300 years ago, a male-dominated tribal society controlled the planet, holding female Kasheeta in general disrespect. The planet’s tribes were constantly warring among themselves for control of the shrinking farmlands and industrial bases. At this time, Kasheetan science was sufficiently developed to detect the onset of a new ice age (possibly hastened by the extended use of chemical weapons in the upper atmosphere). However, the tribal leaders ignored the evidence.
When the glaciers descended upon them, threatening the race with extinction, the females staged a social revolution, overthrowing male leaders of the planet’s central tribes in favor of a female-dominated system. The newly elected matriarchy acted quickly to build an extensive network of domed cities to ensure the race’s survival against the approaching ice age.
A few tribes refused to forsake their lifestyle and accept the new social order. Hundreds of thousands of Kasheeta remained outside the domed cities, despite the deteriorating climate. Many still remain along the fringes of the planet’s glaciers, adapting as best they can and occasionally mounting raids against the planet’s cultural centers.
The government of Kashet centers on a matriarchy with the ruler of the planet, the Empress of the Domed Cities, at the apex. Below her, prominent family lines provide each city with a governor responsible for her city and the surrounding zones of arable territory. The governors meet monthly in the planet’s capital of lo’Luth to do homage to their queen and to recommend positions for other females. The educational system is designed to maintain both the primacy of Kasheetan females as well as the cultural diversity of each city.
As the Kasheeta have a short life spans (roughly between 20 to 30 standard years), Kasheetan science deals primarily with the advancement of medicine. Of all the Federation representatives sent to Kashet, physicians and healers receive the most respect and admiration.
Kashet received associate member status in the Federation during Era 3, signing several trade agreements with Andorian mining concerns, permitting them to extract radioactive ores in exchange for modern power plants and various support technologies. Although they have treaties allowing them to send cadets to Starfleet, Kashet has not been extended full membership in the United Federation of Planets due to its gender-based class system, which violates the Federation Charter.
Homeworld: Kashet.
Example Names: K’Anaxor, H’kajamar.
