GORN

 

 

Gorn-logoGorn are a saurian-based humanoid race that appear to be evolved from some type of reptile and are much larger than humans, and have quite a bit more muscle mass in their bodies. Gorn physiology is not very well suited to speaking other languages such that  their tongue is forked, like a snake's, and all "s" sounds will have a hissing property.

 

The government of the worlds controlled by the reptiloid race known as the Gorn is called the Alliance . The Gorn evolved on the planet S'sgarnon, a temperate, warm Class M planet with a local gravity of 1.4 G. The Gorn, a strong, hardy race of fierce warriors, developed a culture that stresses strength, courage, and the natural dominance of the fittest. The Gorn Alliance is controlled by two Autarchs, one who represents the Gorn home world and the other who represents the Gorn colony worlds.

 

No state of war exists between the United Federation of Planets (UFP) and the Alliance, thanks to negotiations which begun after the initial contact. Peace negotiations have progressed on Clanhaven, a UFP world close to the frontier. The Frontier Accord limits the buildup of military shipping in the disputed space, and a joint commission has been working slowly at building up an agreeable boundary, though no final agreement has been reached.

 

Negotiations progress slowly because the Gorn are split between those who would negotiate peacefully with the UFP and the "actionist" faction who believe in direct confrontation.

 

Both factions agree on the premise that the Federation must not hinder Gorn expansion and fulfillment of their "Manifest Destiny", but they differ on the methods to be used. They are very territorial, but do not appear to be interested in further expansionism - yet.
