Kazleti: Difference between revisions

Renowned as scholars, warriors, and above all, artisans, the Kazleti have been an important fixture of galactic culture for over a millennium. Originating from the world of Kazletzin Primus, directly in the middle of the Klingon Neutral Zone, the Kazleti were forced to evacuate their original homeworld four hundred years ago when the planet became unstable. Over several decades, the world was steadily evacuated and the Kazleti split into two groups. Many Kazleti went to the Klingon Empire and bolstered the already considerable Kazleti population and formally joined the Empire as a client race. The slim majority of Kazleti instead opted to colonize a new homeworld several light-years away. Since that time, the two groups have drifted apart to form two distinct cultural groups. Those Kazleti in the Klingon Empire are influenced by Klingon culture, which is similar to the culture present on their original homeworld. Those Kazleti that settled on Kazletzin Secundus are notably more liberal and open, and later joined the Federation, with their culture in turn being influenced by other Federation members. From the time that the Kazleti on Kazletzin Secundus joined the Federation, to the signing of the second Khitomer Accords, the two groups were nearly totally isolated from one another due to animosity between their two respective Empires. Wen relations finally improved in the 2350s, the two groups found the cultural differences that had accumulated through centuries of divergent cultural evolution to be just enough to effectively split their once united race into two distinct groups.
