Ferasan

The Ferasans were a genetically augmented felinoid species from Ferasa Prime. A split over an extensive genetic engineering program forced the non-augmented Ferasans to seek a new home, thereby becoming Caitians after their new homeworld of Cait.

Similar to Caitians, Ferasans were bipedal, had tails that assisted their balance, extended maxillary canine teeth, and large eyes with excellent night vision. Their skin was covered with a soft fur coat and their felinoid ears could pick up frequencies that most humanoids were unable to detect. Unlike Caitians, Ferasans were saber-toothed and some had telepathic abilities. Ferasans considered themselves to be superior to Caitians, and often relished the chance to prove that superiority in combat. Both species shared many similar traits with the Lyrans.

Ferasan society was dominated by clans of inter-related family groups who banded together for defense and conquest. Loyalty was highly prized among Ferasans, although betrayals were common. The greatest honor a Ferasan could give to a clanmate or superior officer was to remain faithful through adversity.

By the early 25th century, the Ferasans were allied with the Klingon Empire and served in Klingon Defense Force.
