Pahkwa-thanh (mirror)

In the mirror universe, the Pahkwa-thanh were a species of space-faring reptiles which were allied with the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance during the 24th century. They are large, powerfully built bipeds with strong jaws, sharp teeth and a passing resemblance to a therapod dinosaur.

Carnivorous and predatory by nature, the Pahkwa-thanh feed upon live prey. Their spiritual beliefs encouraged the understanding that their prey animals are sentient and in possession of a soul. Pahkwa-thanh propriety precluded hunting any sapient species that did not accept its role as prey.

In spite of the fact that the $𝜇$s were generally not comfortable with sentient species shaped differently than themselves, they respected the Pahkwa-thanh's predatory nature. The Klingons had lost thousands of warriors to their failed attempt to conquer the Pahkwa-thanh homeworld. Granting such honourable and songworthy deaths to so many warriors was the Klingon idea of a generous diplomatic overture as the two species became stalwart allies.

In 2376, Doctor $𝜇$ was a Pahkwa-thanh medical researcher in the service of the Alliance who conducted experiments on the $𝜇$ population of $𝜇$. (SS TTN (Empathy))
