Kirekei

## Race Name

Kirekai

Plural: Kirekaii

## Homeworld

Kirgara, Gamma Quadrant, Class M, two moons, both uninhabitable. Much has been turned into massive Eco-arcologys, while the rest is either sea or beautiful natural gardens.

## Race Background

#### Technology

The Kirekaii have technology that was perfectly preserved by the progenitors, that puts them far ahead of their neighbors, and even the federation. Warp 9.99 travel+ transwarp conduits, transporters with hyper-accurate sensors,able to teleport people from ships even with interference with a 99.98% accuracy, replicator technology remains on par with the federation, and weapons, salvaged from the Progenitors. These include Phased Cannon arrays, massive, “Super Phasers” that, due to the massive amount of power needed to run them, they span the entire ship, and smaller ships can only operate one, while the mighty Dreadnought can operate a whole array. Significant Engineering accomplishments, such as the artificial creation of Neutronium, and large structures in space, are examples of the gifts that the Kirekai hold close, as they do not believe that the other races of the galaxy are deserving of the progenitor’s knowledge.

#### Prehistory

It is unknown to Kirekai scholars the exact reason why the Kirekaii arrived to what they consider their homeworld, but it is obvious that they are *not native.*

Around 5000 Earth years ago, whether by an ancient version of themselves, or a unknown Progenitor race, the Kirekaii found themselves on the planet of Kirgara, a dreamlike world of blues and greens. It was a Utopian garden, and the world had not only a bounty of nature, but of technology as well. Within 500 years, technology had been (re)discovered that brought the Kirekaii to a modern state, without polluting the world like other races

#### Modern history

As the population grew, massive cities grew as well, encouraging new technology, not only learned from databanks but developed, and from this came the idea of Eco-arcologys, massive cities so massive that they are able to be seen from orbit, and each holding billions of Kirekaii in Utopian living standards. For 1500 earth years, Kirekaii lived on the planet, with no wish to go Beyond. Until the Discovery of the Sky rest temple, and the Progenitor’s stone, a large, engraved stone that reads **“We have spent our last years, and our empire’s resources to build this home for you, our children, for it is your destiny to return to the stars and seek new land for your people, and you must have a cradle before you can learn to walk. In this databank, we have given you all you need to make a great fleet of ships, both civilian and military, use the technology well, because there may be those who you can not befriend.** This message inspired the age of expansion

The planet of Kirgara, in the year 2415.

#### The age of Expansion

The Kirekaii, now encouraged by the message left by their progenitors, spread into space, proclaiming the Kirekaii Star Republic, colonizing star systems, and spreading across the Gamma Quadrant. During the age of expansion, massive Dreadnoughts, left in near perfect condition were salvaged, and around 5 systems were colonized,  and though this doesn’t seem that much, it was for them. They soon realized that they were on the far edge of the galaxy, in a isolated cluster of 5 star systems far from any other stars, the exploration stopped.

#### The Age of Discovery

When this was discovered the Kirekaii ceased their expansion, and chose to begin exploration, instead of expansion. The edge of Kirekaii space was still fortified, with large “Dreadnoughts” patrolling it, and much of the exploration was inside the borders of the republic. The Kirekai were spectators to the outside conflicts. When the Dominion War rocked the galaxy, the Kirekaii were forced to watch as the Federation first lost, and then turned the war around, hearing only second hand accounts of battles. Many in the republic hoped for a victory for the Federation and her allies. With the end of the Dominion war, and that they were significantly weakened, the Kirekaii used this to as a chance to spread beyond their isolated systems. Eventually they made contact with the federation.

First contact was made when a Kirekaii scout ship, the KRS Xireai, encountered Federation Starbase 451, with the ship's crew greeting the federation without violence.

It was a massive culture shock seeing races other then themselves , but there were many who celebrated the Federation’s victory over their enemy.

Recently the Kirekaii sent several liaison officers to the federation as well as to the Vulcans and Klingons, in a attempt to improve relations .

## Religion

Though Kirekaii have reverence for the Progenitors who created them, they do not worship them like gods, but parents, who brought them to where they are now. Besides that, they lack any spiritual components to the society

## Cultural interaction

Humans: being one of the founders of the Federation, humans are considered friends of the Kirekaii, and Kirekaii culture shares much with old Earth Asian culture.

Vulcans: though Kirekaii scouts have not had much contact with the Vulcans, they are Recognized as members of the Federation and treated as such. With the offering of these Liaison officers it is hoped that relations may be improved.

Klingons: The Klingons are subject to mixed feelings, The Kirekai dislike being warlike, but admire the Klingons for defeating the Dominion.

Ferengi: the Ferengi were originally seen with curiosity by the Kirekaii, but that soon changed to disdain as they learned more.

Physical Traits: Kirekaii are tall, on average 6ft, humanoids, with tall, Fox-like ears and 1-6 Fox like tails, with less tails tending to be a recessive trait. Their ears tend to give them hearing at a longer, more sensitive range. Their skin color is human like. It is unknown why they live for so long, but it is believed that genetic modification by their progenitors is responsible. They are mature at 20 years old and only start to show age at 100 years of age. Kirekaii are not stronger then humans, and only slightly smarter. Besides the longer hearing, they have no special abilities.
