==Homeworld== | |||
:'''''See also:''' [[Taithros]] | |||
After a catastrophic natural disaster four hundred years ago that forced the evacuation of their homeworld, the Kazleti had since become a divided race, with one faction joining the Federation, and the other the Klingon Empire. | |||
==History== | |||
== | |||
Originating from the world of Kazletzin, directly in the middle of what would become Klingon Neutral Zone, the Kazleti were forced to evacuate their original homeworld 350 years ago when a natural disaster slowly rendered the planet uninhabitable. This event has since become known as "The Sundering" in Kazleti history. | Originating from the world of Kazletzin, directly in the middle of what would become Klingon Neutral Zone, the Kazleti were forced to evacuate their original homeworld 350 years ago when a natural disaster slowly rendered the planet uninhabitable.

Between the original evacuation and the signing of the Khitomer Accords, the two groups of Kazleti were essentially isolated from one another. Though there are some parallels between the two, time and distance have conspired to create two distinct and very separate societies. | Between the original evacuation and the signing of the Khitomer Accords, the two groups of Kazleti were essentially isolated from one another.

==Government== | |||
As members of the Federation, the Kazleti possess a united planetary government, in the form of a unitary semi-presidential system. Central government is supreme in power, and the head of state is a president, who exists alongside a prime minister and cabinet. Individual states originate from the surviving vessels of the evacuation fleet, though much intermingling has taken place over the subsequent years. | As members of the Federation, the Kazleti possess a united planetary government, in the form of a unitary semi-presidential system.

The Kazleti as a species are renowned for their incredibly complex languages, though many of the regional languages have been lost to the Federation faction, with only Karutin -- known for its liquid, musical sound, and for being near indecipherable -- spoken among the population. | The Kazleti as a species are renowned for their incredibly complex languages, though many of the regional languages have been lost to the Federation faction, with only Karutin -- known for its liquid, musical sound, and for being near indecipherable -- spoken among the population. | ||

The Federal Kazleti have made an artform out of the use of recycled and scrap materials, a legacy of their long journey through the stars, and it is a point of pride among their artisans to transform the most stubborn and unyielding materials into something beautiful. As a result, even the most seemingly simple of works could have taken months to create, and the story of the piece's creation is considered as vital to the appreciation of the work as the piece itself. | The Federal Kazleti have made an artform out of the use of recycled and scrap materials, a legacy of their long journey through the stars, and it is a point of pride among their artisans to transform the most stubborn and unyielding materials into something beautiful.

Their time spent in their armada has given them an unparalleled insight into starship design, and they have become renowned as master shipwrights. The '''Jorarkos Institute of Technology''' is considered one of the most prestigious aerospace engineering schools in the Federation, and ships of Kazleti construction are famed for their elegance and beauty. | Their time spent in their armada has given them an unparalleled insight into starship design, and they have become renowned as master shipwrights.

==Customs== | |||
===Naming=== | |||
During the Federal Kazleti's great migration, it became common practice to identify individuals through the vessel they called home, rather than through their clan or family. This tradition continued once they settled on Taithros, and their names take the form <Personal Name> of <Vessel of Origin>. For example, Tulja of Chakros has the personal name "Tulja", and can trace her ancestry back to a vessel in the evacuation fleet named "Chakros". The vessel names are matrilineal, passed down through the mother's side. | |||
