Culture

The cundarians are a patriarchal society who place great value in honor earned through battle or personal hardship. Their very name is a samarin term meaning “bloodthirsty savage”, subsequently adopted with pride. Although their traditional values have mellowed through exposure to the outside galaxy, it is still rare for non-cundarians to meet female cundarians - they are largely confined to home worlds and colonies, where they are expected to raise children and maintain the social fabric. Male cundarians often express a desire to protect the moral sanctity of their females, a viewpoint they feel is confirmed by the licentiousness of a largely effeminate outside galaxy. This is not to say females wield absolutely no power within cundarian society - owners of property and land as a matter of course, they are traditionally the ultimate arbiters as to whether a male has earned enough honor to breed and hold station or not.
