The '''Herpitites''' are a nomadic race of intelligent amphibians exhibiting a level of technology far beyond that of Starfleet. Having suffered the eventual destruction of their own planet through what appears to have been a combination of global, intraspecies warfare and the natural fluctuations of their sun, the Herpitites live only on their massive, semi-organic Mother Ships. Herpitite civilization has no equivalent to the Prime Directive, living instead according to what they call their First Commandment: to assist other, less enlightened species to attain peace and prosperity through the technological advancement association with the Herpitites can bring. In the one known and Starfleet-observed instance of the First Commandment in action, however, the Herpitites proved themselves to be deeply concerned with cultural, military, and environmental domination, and transformation of the "less-enlightened" planet into a world suitable for Herpitite habitation. This seems less the result of malevolence than of zealotry, however. | The '''Herpitites''' are a nomadic race of intelligent amphibians exhibiting a level of technology far beyond that of Starfleet.
