Until 2393, the Cygnetian government was dominated by the Cygnetian Council of Matriarchs, the upper body of the Assembly,which made the Assembly an illiberal democracy. <ref>[https://fednewsservice.com/2016/05/12/cygnet-considers-separation-from-federation/ ''"Cygnet considers separation from Federation"], FNS Article, SD 239305.12</ref>. There was talk of a monarchy between 2393-2395, even notifying all offworld Cygnets<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-doyle/2CEK0PoyrPw/Uh_o1qIpAAAJ ''"Knives"''], Lt. Cmdr Ceciri Hakashri,{{USS|Doyle|A}}, SD 239407.09</ref>, before finally settling on a new Assembly. Notably, most of the clans on the previous Council of Matriarchs were diminished severely, but the Council still retained a lot of it's power. <ref>[https://fednewsservice.com/2018/12/21/cygnetian-assembly-ratifies-new-constitution-reaffirms-federation-membership/ ''"Cygnetian Assembly Ratifies New Constitution, Reaffirms Federation Membership"''], FNS Article, SD 239512.21</ref> | |||

In recent years, members of the Cygnian species have begun to express their discontent in living under such circumstances of inequality within their strict matriarchal society, embarrassed at how far behind their people are in comparison to places such as the [[Federation]], as their planet is ''dominated'' by the female gender. However, overall, the Cygnians were very traditional and rarely left the home system <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-constitution/oVcxXQnD124/h0yDdNnWnoUJ ''"Pleasant Conversation"''], Lt.

Honor | Honor and dishonor were said to follow from mother-to-daughter, and for traditionalists, being removed from their clan was considered the ultimate sanction, as it was tantamount to exile. Usually, such notices were public, and were voted on by the lower body of the Assembly. This sanction, by the 24th century, was rarely used since one of the reasons to belong to a large clan was for them to adopt the daughter to mask the birth-mother, and protect the honor of the clan and daughter.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/Ceciri/sb118-doyle/NS5WpRJ6hiY/RH54lqIEgl8J ''"Voices of Authority, Part 1"], Lt.

It was entirely possible for someone to be kicked out of their clan, and when that happened, it was common for family members to never mention the old relationship, falling back to business relationships<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-doyle/dItXS_ZeumI/tXBDOEAlfNYJ ''"The Ball"''], Lt.

Cygnian children's | Cygnian children's surnames varied greately, depending on if they were part of the major clans, or part of a smaller clan, or part of no clan at all. The latter generally receive their surname from their mother. <ref>[https://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=Evelyn_Rós ''Relationships''], Evelyn Rós</ref>, however, members of a major clan all had the surname from the clan name, although the prefix k' would be added to the name to designate it was a cadet branch over a main line.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-doyle/ezCVanH1ddI/GsLA6wMaAgAJ ''"Thoughts of Home"''], Lt.
