Mandoro Techniocracy

The Mandoro Techniocracy is the government of the Mandoro, contacted by Captain Stol of the USS Huascar in 2325.Q4. The Mandoro are located on the far side of Cardassian space, just above the Righteous Allupii Empire.

Culture
The Mandoro are highly focused on art, with political and social success tied directly to artistic success. Mandoro society generally believes that it has found the highest form of art achievable in the works of their Great Masters, and so continues to initiate those forms, even thousands of years later. This extends even to their spacecraft, which use highly obsolete field configurations, which they have adapted to by an extremely advanced understanding of warp field theory.

Government
The Mandoro appear to have a democratic, if extremely conservative, government. Their technology minister was expelled after first contact, when she presented several creations as a fusion of traditional Mandoro styles and Federation technology. However, the expulsion does seem to have prompted some re-evaluation of the role of tradition in Mandoro society.
