*History of the Organization: The Cowar were a preindustrial world enjoying an agrarian peaceful existence when the first Klingon warships darkened their sky. Cowar didn't quite know how to fight so the Klingons quickly tired of killing them and set out to control and own their world and the people. The Cower have been hewers of wood and fetchers of water for the Empire since. This has worked into other professions that Klingons don't like doing.<P>Cower are sexually attractive to Klingons. Women arouse the men and the men arouse Klingon women. However the two species are not cross fertile. Many Cowar have been sold as sexual slaves throughout the Empire for two centuries. They neither get or cause pregnancy and are acceptable as toys. Sex with a Cowar is not considered infidelity by custom or law.</P><P>At this point Cowar culture is dead. They are thoroughly Klingonized to the point that many consider themselves Klingon, and follow the code of Honor and Way of the Warrior. To New Klingons this is welcome. Those willing to be Klingon are welcomed as such. To Real Klingons it is not funny. They are not Klingons and have no business trying.
