| Background | Their structures are made out of native materials mixed with a natural secretion from their bodies which combines to create a very light, but very strong and durable building material capable of supporting structures hundreds of feet tall. Kaferians are virtually natural geneticists. They export many bio-engineered plants and animals that have been modified for demanding climates and conditions. They are renowned for this genetic engineering throughout most of known space. |
| Editors Notes | They have a hard exoskeleton which acts as natural armor. Their
eyes are located on opposite sides of their heads, giving them peripheral
vision, which does not limit their forward vision. Their feet split
into two toes - a larger and a smaller - with some extremely limited manipulative
ability. The spinal ridge gives them a slightly hunchbacked appearance.
It is believed that Kaferian scientists are responsible for the Klingon Tribble predator, known as a "glommer". They are not Federation members (otherwise they could not engage in the trade mentioned above) but they have been a staunch ally for over 200 years. |

| Background | They are a race of warriors split into many sects. Each sect is headed by a Maje, the number of sects changes frequently. They gained their independance around stardate 48979. From their hatred toward "uniform-bearing" individuals as on Voyager, it can be concluded that their freedom was gained from a race bent on military superiority. Not extremely technologically advanced, they rely on "pack" hunting to disable enemies. |
| Editors Notes | Most powerful sects: Kazon-Ogla, Kazon-Relora, Kazon- Hobii, Kazon-Mostral, Kazon-Oglamar, Kazon-Pommar, Kazon-Sari, and the Kazon-Nistrim. |

| Editors Notes | By nature, they are hunters, and still practice the ritual of the hunt.
They prefer their food raw. Most Klingons feel it is dishonorable
to lie, cheat, steal, or bluff, and dislike those who do. Thus they
tend to dislike Ferengi.
Klingon warriors pride themselves on their combat abilities and feel the greatest honor that can be bestowed on warriors is to die in combat. These traits have been handed down from the Klingon spiritual leader, Kahless, over two millennia ago. |

| Background | Kzin are a very warlike race, and have had numerous wars with humans, most before the formation of the Federation. They have high strength, which is augmented by sharp teeth and claws. They can see very well in the dark, and have well-developed senses of smell, taste, and hearing. They consider women to be second-class citizens, and their chauvinistic attitude bleeds over into their dealings with other races. More than once, a female has played an important part in rescues of personnel from Kzin-held territory. This attitude is due to Kzinti females being sub-sentient. |
| Editors Notes | Their bodies are covered with fur, which covers their face and hands as well, and creates a mane-like effect for their hair. They have golden eyes, long black whiskers, a long tail, and a voice with a rasping, but purring quality. They stand on average 8 feet tall, and weigh under 780 lbs. Most Kzinti have tattoos of various kinds on their ears which represent military awards, decorations, and ranks. The Kzinti tail is bare and prehensile, looking pink with white and black markings and is very sensitive. Most adults wear their tails in a silk like covering when outside their own culture. No one would ever want to insult a Kzins tail with an unwanted touch or unintentional bump. They have six digits on their hands with two opposable thumbs, and feline sheathable claws. A stretching motion is the Kzin equivalent of a human relaxed smile, and a grin is a sign of aggression. A waffling twitch of the whiskers is similar to a human grin. They eat their meat fresh and raw, preferably still dripping with blood. They do not like vegetarians, and will not deal with them if possible. A very few Kzin have had chemical changes made to them which gives them a limited form of telepathy. Their telepaths can be foiled by thinking of chewing on raw vegetables. |
