Gorn history is replete with civil war. In fact, most of their early history after its secession from the [[Gorn Confederacy]] revolved around wars between power-hungry clans. It has only been recently that the civil wars have stopped. The existing ruling clan, the S'sethren, assumed power after by emerging from the last civil war 28 months ago as the largest remaining clan, doing so by brokering a marriage between themselves and a minor clan as the cease-fire between clans was signed. This marriage put them in power. | Gorn history is replete with civil war.

Prolonged battle has hit the Hegemony Navy hard; the faster, more maneuverable [[Tholian Holdfast|Tholians]], with their Web Casting weapon, has been able to put a sizeable dent in the Hegemony fleet. Coupled with the fact that the Hegemony's already-thin natural resources have been all but exhausted due to the war, and the result was a willingness to discuss peace for the first time in their history. However, neither the [[Tholian Holdfast|Tholians]] nor the Hegemony seemed truly eager for peace, and despite the efforts of the USS ''Aurora'', her crew and the Gnalish delegation charged with facilitating an agreement, the talks failed, with the Hegemony and the [[Tholian Holdfast|Tholians]] still at war. | ||
Eventually, a truce was called by the Hegemony due to the depletion of its resources; simply put, it could no longer continue to make war. However, as this ability is central to Hegemony culture (and therefore political power), the Hegemon needed to find a solution to this or risk loosing his power and plunging the Hegemony into civil war yet again. He would find his answer in the [[KRIMAXFOR_-_Stellar_Phenomena#The_Tybiiran_Complex|Tybiiran Complex]]. | Eventually, a truce was called by the Hegemony due to the depletion of its resources; simply put, it could no longer continue to make war.

The resulting civil war brought forth a new ruling clan, the Sh'raketh, and, consequently, a new Hegemon; this change in Hegemons coincides with the withdrawal from the galactic political scenes. They did not re-emerge as major players until the [[KRIMAXFOR_-_Military_Actions#Battle_of_Briol-_2417|Battle of Briol]] in 2417. Since their defeat at [[KRIMAXFOR_-_Star_Systems#Briol_.28ML-4986.29|Briol]] to the [[USS CIRCE|USS ''Circe'']], the rest of Tactical Squadron 13 and Task Force OMEGA, the Gorn have been exceptionally quiet; many [[Office of Star Fleet Intelligence|OSFI]] experts wonder if the defeat in Briol has finally broken the backs of the Hegemony for good. | The resulting civil war brought forth a new ruling clan, the Sh'raketh, and, consequently, a new Hegemon; this change in Hegemons coincides with the withdrawal from the galactic political scenes.
