Clansmen

The Clansmen is a hedonistic organization on Farscape whose members typically don't live past 22. Chiana joins the Clansmen in the second season episode "Taking the Stone."
The Clansmen have taken up residence in the underground tunnels of a Royal Cemetery Planet, and often partake in drugs and other dangerous activities, such as "The Gathering." At the risk of becoming one of the Lost People, the Clansmen gather around a pit and throw themselves in. A voice-activated Peacekeeper training net lies at the bottom, so although some survive the fall, others don't (which is called "taking the stone.").
Unbeknownst to them, there is radiation in the caves that is causing them to die young. The Lost People, who don't take the stone, suffer from radiation poisoning and are ostracized.
