The Pineath, hailing from the uncharted expanses of the Unknown Regions, were a race of sentient creatures. Distinguished by their plumage of burgundy feathers, their societal norms dictated a peculiar custom: any harm inflicted upon a Pineath by an external party necessitated a reciprocal taking of life. This practice was rationalized as a "proper return of cost," frequently involving demands for recompense that were doubled or even tripled in value. Furthermore, they placed great importance on maintaining public esteem, exhibiting a strong aversion to public humiliation. Although capable of communicating in Galactic Basic Standard, their native tongue was characterized by a series of clicking sounds, a stark contrast to the auditory experience of Human listeners.
