History of the Organization: Kreeen were a primitive planet when the Acceptians encountered them about 1100 years ago. An unimposing iron age herto-culture of about 400 million engaged in proving who had the bigger tits. 
The Acceptians started the economic conquest from multiple fronts. The Kreeen went for the high tech toys like it was candy. By the time it was a single world united by the Acceptians the Kreeen were comfortable in the situation. there never was a revolution or even the desire for one. Acceptian are the wonderful bird people that bring the wonderful toys.
While the Kreeen have embraced a great deal of Imperial meta culture they have never abandoned their own preference for a female controlled culture. the Accepotian Matriarch is claimed as their own. Every year six sacred maidens are sent to the palace on Stellas to serve her. The matriarch sees the young women get an education and they returned after six years service. The Acceptians see the custom as quaint, but understand its importance in keeping the Kreeen happy.
The Kreeen also hang on to their pantheons of goddesses and gods. One of the few races in the Empire that is serious about religion. The Accepitans have imposed their own limits, no religious figure is ever allowed political power. As the various divine matriarchs are clients that isn't a danger.
Kreeen population long ago moved off the Menkarris in a big way. Populations have been seeded around the empire not just to existing worlds but in original colonies as well. At this point they are a thoroughly Imperial race.
