The Cheydalanga were a minor member of the Dominion just before the end of the war, on the far side of the former Dominion sphere of influence[1] In 2401, they contacted were contacted by the United Dominion of Planets, and in response, the Cheydaldangan government reached out to the United Federation of Planets. The USS Octavia E. Butler responded to the call.

History
Government
The current government structure is unclear however it is suggested that Cheyd operate on a system where ones birth dictates a cheyd's role. However it was suggested by Intercessor Ulto'Delarento that one can work their way up to a Government position [2] This however is rare.

Ci'clo - One day - 24 hours - Same as earth
Do'ante - One Week - 12 days - Four days more then Earth
Quo'rante- One month - 12x4 -48 days - about 16/18 more then earth
Cele'stiale - One year is four months - 240 days - ~120 less then earth
Stal'lare is 240 x 12 - 2880 days - ~820 less then earth
Galatta - One century is ten decades - 34,560 days ~1940 less then earth
Culture & Language
Chey'd culture is based on a caste system known as the Chey’d’bacla[3] in which one is born into their role. More often then not, this is determined by your subspecies.
The Chey'd communicate using third person pronouns, refereeing to themselves as "this one" and refereeing to someone else as "that one." The first person pronouns such as "you" and "I" are only used to refer to slaves, criminals and undesirables in Chey'd culture.[4]
This one - Referring to self
That one - Referring to one person
These ones - Referring to a group of people, typically used if you had a group on your side. More friendly (These ones are family)
Those ones - Referring to a group of people, used maybe more formally, or more professionals. (When talking about The Kings Paths - Those ones don't speak for Chey'd kind)
