In the pre-civilized stages of their development, Caitians were a hunting people who lived within the forests of their homeworld in small tribes. Their tribal nature remained even after their civilization was born, and grew into a system of ranches, which made use of domesticated wildlife. Eventually, tribes were amalgamated into clans that spanned a number of ranches, and so were born early Caitian towns. The need for hunting was now gone, although families still engage in ritual hunts to remind them of their feral origins. | In the pre-civilized stages of their development, Caitians were a hunting people who lived within the forests of their homeworld in small tribes.

The Caitian people also insist on preserving their ecology. These factors, combined with their need for open spaces, have led to the colonisation of a large number of other words. Notable Caitian colonies include 15 Lyncis III, [[MA:Regulus III|Regulus III]] (which is home to a prominent Federation Science Academy), Havelind, Hochlor IV, Kirisha, Macadarna and Narval. Around 85% of Caitian-colonised worlds are [[MA:United Federation of Planets|Federation]] members. | ||
Caitian society allows for equal rights for both sexes, and has done for as long as the people can remember. Even names have no gender-specific application, the only differentiating factor being an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorific honorific] prefix: S' for males and M' for females. Other [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorific honorifics] exist that are non-gender specific however, and in some colonies one are used at all, resulting in much variation in Caitian names. | Caitian society allows for equal rights for both sexes, and has done for as long as the people can remember.
