[Y 15]
During this era, the three Gorn home worlds (of the Tau Lacertae IX star
system?) first come into contact with each other, through the Ghdar race
of explorers. Each are at a different stage of development: Ghdar I
(Ghdar) a space age society, Ghdar II (Geydar) an industrial age society,
and Ghdar III (Gihdahr) an iron age society. Contact is achieved within a
few months of each other, first with the Geydar and then with the Gihdahr.
Within a few decades the Gorns will be unified into a single, though
stratified, society. The Ghdar (known as the Gray Scales) will be the
noblemen of the first century after unification (AU), the Geydar (known
as the Brown Stripes) will be the middle class workers, and the Gihdahr
(the Green Scales) are offered the lowest jobs. The Green Scales will
fight in the front line (generally under Brown Stripe officers) when the
Gorn Hegemony fights its first interstellar wars in the years to come.
By the late 23rd Century, Gorn society will become essentially casteless
though the Green Scales will remain dominant in the military [MRM, SFB,
Ar].
