Gorn

The Gorn are a warp-capable, bipedal reptilian species. The Gorn government is called the Gorn Hegemony. The Ssaur system is a star system in Gorn space. First contact with the Gorn took place in 2267, when they attacked the Federation colony on Cestus III. The Gorn saw the strike as a preemptive move, since they regarded the Cestus star system as part of their territory.
