Kreetassan

The Kreetassans were a warp-capable humanoid species native to the Alpha Quadrant, native to Kreetassa and part of the Kreetassa Kritarchy.

They were distinguished by their heavily ridged faces with a row of purple-tinged rectangular scutes from their hairline down to their noses, covering one-third of its width. They wore their hair long in braids and dressed in long, brown, embellished gowns.

They were particularly concerned with proper etiquette, courtesy, and adherence to certain, sometimes complex social codes. As a result, they came to have a reputation for being easily offended, and a number of such offenses occurred during their problematic early encounters with humans.

They also had a very complex language by Human standards. The words "eat" and "mate" were very similar, and both were done privately in their society.
