History

The Cygnians were first encountered by the Vulcans during their surveys and exploration of space, where their advanced civilization and dominating matriarchy was noted. First contact with United Earth Starfleet proved difficult, as the representative of the Cygnian people was unable to take the male Starfleet captain seriously - alternative female members of the crew were required to engage with the representative with negotiations for vessel repair, of which ended successfully.

Cygnian respiratory diseases are a topic of interest to Federation medicine in the 23rd and 24th centuries.

Description

The Cygnians are characterized by their cat-like eyes and mouse-like tail. Their hair colour range from violet to red. Generally, all Cygnians have slender limbs, somwehat shorter than typical humanoid species such as Humans.

Physiology

An incredibly small percentage of Cygnians possess psionic abilities. Magen, a female Cygnian, has been noted to use these abilties to detect an explosive device aboard a Starfleet vessel in 2269 - and later, would assist another Starfleet crew in clearing a Gorn minefield.. Cygnians often had a second, later, maturation at some point in the past, however, it was known to cause lasting issues

Psychology

Strict in regards to their societal structure, female Cygnians raised with strict societal ideals struggle to see their male counterparts as equal.

Society

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

As the society was almost dominated by the female gender, some traditional Cygnian gowns could not be worn in any standard Federation ball The Cygnian currency in the 23rd century was the gold piece.

Culture

Foods that were bitter and spicy were popular on the planet, such as Tyrna juice and Cygnian hot spice stew

Customs

Cygnian children generally receive their surname from their mother.

Technology

The repair stations and starbases of Cygnet XIV were considered as some of the best facilities for starship repair in the late 22nd and 23rd century - as such, they were often tasked with maintenance or repair of Starfleet vessels from the moment of first contact with Starfleet.

In 2392, the USS Veritas and USS Montreal were attacked by small Cygnian attack vessels, stolen by a now-defunct pirate group known as the Hisaal.
