Because of the history of respect for others, Dachlyds have at times petitioned outside aide from the [http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/United_Federation_of_Planets UFOP] in order to expeditiously resolve disputes and reach [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compromise compromise]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremism Extremism] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Despotism despotism] are not widely understood except by those Dachlyds studying [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_science political science] or xenocultures. | Because of the history of respect for others, Dachlyds have at times petitioned outside aide from the [http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/United_Federation_of_Planets UFOP] in order to expeditiously resolve disputes and reach [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compromise compromise].

This sacred day acknowledges a Dachlyd's sexual maturity and confers adult status upon them. The average Dachlyd matures at 15 years. Traditionally, an adult Dachlyd finds its own place to live. Aboard space craft, Huassgk may be accompanied by formal assignment to a crew division. Dachlyd maturity is driven by hormones and the somewhat aggressive expression of these, causing the younger Dachlyd to reject its parent or caretaker. Often this rejection begins as unintentional hissing following normal conversation. From stressed hissing the aggression proceeds to bellowing and roaring, with the two Dachlyds confronting each other. The final stage has both parties vocally confronting each other, bellowing and roaring face-to-face, sometimes for hours. Eventually the exhausted Dachlyd (typically the younger, weaker one) departs to find its own place to make a nest. Postponing Huassgk is difficult, often impossible. | This sacred day acknowledges a Dachlyd's sexual maturity and confers adult status upon them. The average Dachlyd matures at 15 years.

There is a growing trend in Dachlyd industry supporting biotechnology. The developments which receive the most interest and acclaim specifically deal with lifespan-terminated engineered organisms, sometimes referred to as "lifespanned engineered organisms" or by the acronym "LEOs". Many advances have been made in designing organisms with specific functions to replace architectural or mechanical constructs. | There is a growing trend in Dachlyd industry supporting biotechnology.
