Information
about the Tholian Hegemony
Note: There is a lot of information
about the Tholian Hegemony that has never been disclosed outside of the members
of the Tholian Hegemony on TOS TrekMUSE. The information contained within this
page does not include all of that information, either. The majority of what the
rest of TOS TrekMUSE did not know about the Tholians is hidden on the planets
and bases the Tholians left behind and it is up to those on TOS TrekMUSE to search
and find this information.

Disposition: Tholians are a very
proud, religious, and tradition oriented people. Only one religion exists in
their culture, and everyone is devoted to it. Tholians fear the destruction
of their culture by external forces, yet are perpetually curious about other
civilizations. Tholians enjoy mathematical-oriented art forms such as fractals
and crystal growing. Tholians are very protective of their traditions, and therefore
appear secretive to other empires.
Government
Tholian society is highly structured.
At its head is the T'ac'cha, or Hegemon. He is more than merely a leader. In many
ways, he is the embodiment of the religious force, the A'cha'chi'lo, or Essence.
Advising him is a collection of Tholians,
known as the High Council. Each member of the High Council represents a different
sector of Tholian society. These members are more than simply representatives,
but they are the leaders of those different sectors or divisions. They are hand
selected by the Hegemon to serve the Hegemony. Within each division is a hierarchy
to represent their chain of command.
