Goshawnar

The Goshawnar are an avianoid race from Lodshar. They are a proud and capable species with considerable industry bent towards their high-speed, nimble craft. Their faces are distinguished by high-cheekbones and fair features, as well as hair that is actually delicate feathering. Their limbs are lanky. They are incapable of flight, having evolved away from it as they became tool users. Preserver influence is strongly suspected.

The Goshawnar are ruled by an autocrat established in megalopolis Rha Lodkahn - the Hagoshan. The exact autocrat will change from time to time with palace scheming, although since the Cardassians backed the last candidate and successfully installed them, the frequent turn-over has ground to a halt. Their fleet is the United Lodshar Fleet.

Society
Although most outside observers would suggest that the Goshawnar have a strong martial tradition, this may be less the case than was first believed. Rather, the Goshawnar use a variety of population sub-groups to crew their ships, which still hold to somewhat old and reckless ways. In this way, the rest of the Goshawnar get them 'out of their feathers'.
