HERMAT

Technologically sophisticated civilization of humanoids of which Burgoyne 172 was a member. Hermats generally tend to keep to themselves, and they have tended to segregate themselves from the rest of the Federation. Hermat individuals are possessed of two sexes, and each has fully functioning male and female capabilities. Physically Hermats look much like a cross between a male and a female human. Also, Hermats have somewhat larger foreheads, slightly sharpened canine teeth, and very dark eyes. Hermats posses physical strength about two and a half times human norm. Because of their bi-gendered natures, special pronouns and honorifics are used when referring to members of species possessed of both sexes such as the Hermats. (Bk II: page 3, 117)
