Delorean

The Delorians (or Deloreans) are a deeply religious reptlian species native to the planet Delorea in the Alpha Quadrant. The Delorians have recently achieved warp drive, and first contact was initated. In following years since First Contact the planet has, in an effort to makes itseld fit for Federation Membership, attempting a unification of the whole culture.

Physiology

The Delorians are a biped reptilian species. The males are 2 meters to 2.5 meters and significantly stronger than an average terran male. The females are roughly the size of Terran males, and about as strong as Terran males as well.

There are 23 distinct species of Delorians. Each distive by color, markings and snout size.

History

Not much of Delorian history is known that is not steeped in Religion and lore. However, what can be surmised is that sometime in the past The Delorian culture evolved from a single species to 23 seperate species, giving rise to the 23 houses of Delorea.

Each house has a traditional role in society, such as government and religion, the two strogest houses.

Additionally, each house is made up of several clans or tribes and not unheard of for a house to collapse into civil war.

Government

Traditionally a Theocracy. The government had been lead by one person, one who satisfied in both religion and leadship capabilites and serves as high preist, Millitary Commander, and sole head of the government. the Title of this person is "The Great Leader". The title had been held for life, and The Great Leader though to be second only to the Gods.

It was not until First Contact, that the Government has seeked to divoce it self from religion formally, and become a pure Representive democracy. They drafted a new constitution, much to the chagrin of the reigning religious class, which threatened civil war. In in effort to appease traditionlist, the new government gave the religous sect a majority say in the daily operations of Government.

There is still a small segment of society that believe the more traditional ways of the Delorian government is the right way, and starting to resort to extrodinary ways to achieve the desired results

Elections

The Great Leader is elected by representives of the 23 houses, who are in turn elected by representives of the clans.

Food and Beverages

The Delorian are a race of meat eaters. Perferring to eat meat raw or even more peferrably, alive, the diet of the Delorians is not fit for consumption by most outside races. The Romulians may be one exception.

Since achieving warp drive, the Delorians may have widened their pallet to include other sentient races, most notably, Feringis.
