'''Sigarus III''' is a class M world that is very wet world with the majority of the planet covered in swampland. 


{{heading|Sigarans|#7db8b0}}
The Sigarans are an amphibious species that somewhat resemble tropical frogs of early earth era. They are extremely tribal and though only considered a '''C''' on the technological scale, due to contamination and interference by the [[Son'a]] in 2374, the Sigarans are armed and understand particle based weapons. They do not have space capability, but Starfleet chose to continue contact due to the contamination.

They have been very open to an alien presence and consider it a gift of the water spirits that “star dwellers” wish to help them achieve eternal life in the cycle. They have not complained about the minimal contact by Starfleet nor the limitations of technology provided. Starfleet Directive 2378-02-Hash-4 modified the prime directive in the Sigaran case by stating that assisting them in the development of technology in a limited advisory capacity was allowed. They were provided a subspace transceiver and working knowledge of their particle weapons to help them maintain the balance their society has adapted to.

The Sigaran adoption of technology while remaining tribal is considered unique among exo-anthropologists as most societies drop their primitive status when technology is invented or introduced. The Sigarans have absorbed it in to their world, but have continued to remain close to nature and their old ways.
