Changes: Karemma

Revision as of 23:08, 17 January 2015

This article is about the Karemma species. For information about the Karemma homeworld, see Karemma (planet).

The Karemma are a humanoid civilization native to the Gamma Quadrant planet Karemma and members of the Dominion.

Physiology

Physically, Karemma are tall and slender with black or dark brown hair that is combed back. They have a head ridge, like Klingons, but smoother and without edges. The head ridge goes down, and over the nose. The ridge can be slightly seen to the chin of a Karemma. As a result of this ridge, their nose looks very large. Karemma have normal eyes that are gray, black or brown. The nose is quite large in the lower end. It is very broad and one line in the skin on each side of their nose is pointing downwards to the outer sides of their face. Overall this gives them a somewhat rodent-like appearance.

Culture

Little is known of the culture of the Karemma, but they are apparently a mercantile, trade-oriented race. They loosely seem to be the Gamma Quadrant analogue of the Ferengi, though in service to the Dominion. Just as the Vorta function within the Dominion hierarchy as administrators and bureaucrats, and the Jem'Hadar function as shock troops, the Karemma seem to handle basic trade affairs within Dominion space. Unlike Ferengi however, Karemma believe in fair dealing and cautious business practices, and regard cheating or gambling to be taboo.

History

The first relations between the Karemma and the Alpha Quadrant were stablished in 2370 by the Ferengi. As the Dosi were not able to meet Grand Nagus Zek's request for 100,000 vats of tulaberry wine, they referred his chief negotiator to the Karemma, allegedly being an important member of something called the "Dominion". (DS9: "Rules of Acquisition")

In 2371, Federation representatives aboard the USS Defiant came together with First Minister Ornithar of the Karemma in an attempt to contact the Founders of the Dominion. The meeting was arranged by Quark, who had previously negotiated the tulaberry wine trade. Ornithar admitted that the only contact the Karemma had with the Founders was through their representatives, the Vorta. He did direct the Defiant crew to Callinon VII, where they had been instructed to send all inquiries. (DS9: "The Search, Part I")

Later that year, a Karemma was aboard Deep Space 9 and strolling along the upper level of the Promenade. (DS9: "Prophet Motive")

In the following year, the Karemma began conducting trade with the Federation, exporting goods such as Karemman fleece. The Ferengi acted as neutral intermediaries, although they unfairly gouged the Karemma with fabricated taxes and tariffs. A Karemman starship commanded by Hanok met with the Defiant to discuss their complaints about the trade duties. During the meeting, the ships were intercepted by two Jem'Hadar attack ships. All four ships entered the atmosphere of a gas giant, where the Defiant was able to destroy the Jem'Hadar ships and rescue the crew of the Karemman ship. The Karemma manufactured and provided at least one type of torpedo carried on board the Jem'Hadar attack vessels. (DS9: "Starship Down")
