''The Dokkarans are a 'space-locked' species native to the planet Ceata in the Tezire System in Sector 010. Humanoid in appearance, the Dokkarans are actually Plant based, obligate calcivores and live off the calcium found in bones, usually supplementing their diet with the meat from the animals they take the bones from. Awakened after the "Elysium Incident" in 2165, the Dokkarans are born from the seeds of the great Vizinyian Tree known as The Lady, and are incapable of sexual reproduction, though anatomically similar to the humans they were modeled after (At least externally). The Dokkarans and their culture are dominated by their own philosophy called Harmony, which is too complex to be detailed in this brief report, and promotes a Third Way line of thought. The Dokkarans practice direct democracy, and every member of their society has equal say in the government though their daily affairs are facilitated by a group of the oldest Dokkarans known as Elders. Though a Neutral species, the Dokkarans have always proven stalwart allies of the Federation (Humanity especially) and have frequently mediated conflicts between the Federation and various powers. The Dokkarans hosted the conference that would become the ground work for the Federation-Cardassian Treaty that ended the Cardassian Wars and the Ceata Conference normalized Federation relations with the Ferengi. As a collective the Dokkarans stick to their homeworld, as individuals, many leave their homeworld to explore the greater galaxy for periods of time, though most inevitably return. Dokkarans are rare in the galaxy, roughly one million inhabit Ceata and a few thousand are off world at any given time, spread out across hundreds of light years. One rarely sees two or more Dokkarans together off Ceata and what few embassies or consulates they maintain typically have no more than a dozen personnel (The exception being their embassies on Earth and Romulus, the former of which had 23 members, 19 of whom died in the planet's destruction). Only six had ever served in Starfleet until the Dominion War and few stayed in long enough to rise through the ranks.'' | |||
''However few their numbers are, the Dokkarans have made an impact on the greater galaxy. Their stunning architectural displays are often basic education in Federation classrooms, two of their spectacular marble sculptures guard the entrance to the Starfleet Academy library, representing the tradeoff between Knowledge and Power. And the poems of the High Cleric Disseralii are often recited during commencements and by politicians looking for a good, solid quote to mark the occasion. From the mists of Ceata the Dokkarans have reached across the known galaxy to bring them influence beyond their mere numbers, and from Bajor to Earth, from Qo’Nos to Ferenginar, the Dokkarans are known for their piety, altruism, scholarship, and above all, the harmony incarnate that all Dokkarans embody.” | |||
