Krenn Info

All Krenn are insectoid, and operate on a sort of automatic dominate the lessers, be dominated by the superiors' setup. All non-Krenn life are lessers, so the Krenn naturally work to dominate them in every aspect- physical, cultural, social- they aim to be superior, though that superiority also includes a total lack of respect for the lessers.

This is a biological imperative, and the Krenn are themselves aware it exists, but have (that you know) taken no steps to eliminate or restrict it, because it's just how they work. So like, the Krenn leader dominates all other lesser Krenn, whom automatically defer to it and its imperatives. Any Krenn warlord might have a collection of lesser Krenn under its command, whom automatically defer to it (in its presence).

While there's some degree of political plotting, for the Krenn it all comes down to self improving, be that training to be better (biologically Krenn have no limit to how much they can improve), or sourcing some new find, technology, development, cultural or social model from them. Krenn don't 'lie' about the origin of things, and there's a consideration that the particular individual that brings something under the domination of the empire to be made superior by the magnitude of that find.

So naturally invading the Alpha and Beta quadrants was a major push that elevated a lot of lesser Krenn to higher positions.

Some Krenn are of the Explorer subtype, and is much less fanatic than the warrior subtype. Explorers are, occasionally, willing to take measures to suppress their innate requirement to dominate other species, particularly if it means they can make contact with species that can provide them interesting things that might serve to elevate their position in Krenn society.

Krenn armaments are nasty. They don't like, have weapons as a discrete thing- they believe the necessity of having a deliberately designed weapon is the mark of an inferior race. So all their 'weapons' are actually 'tools' that they can also use to kill or damage or the like.

Oh, also, nobody knows how they do it, but Krenn have access to some sort of psychometry ability where they can instantly know all the things that someone knows- even at range. You don't know the limits of this power, but there were a couple times during the war when explorer type Krenn contacted starfleet captains on their personal secure ultra top secret emergency frequencies using all the correct code
