Gorn Alliance |
First Contact with the
Federation: No data avalible
Home planet: S'sgarno
Planet class: M
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 of negotiations
begun after the initial contact (ref. TOS episode "ARENA"). 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.
