A Brief History of the Gher Cap
The Breegans bred their favorite species to perfection.
Ah, the Breegans. Like so many of us, the Breegans evolved from single-celled organisms to complex creatures. Just like us, they developed thought, technology, and civilization over tens of thousands of years. Like many races, The Breegans mastered their planet, then started colonizing and terraforming their solar system.
The Breegan's pet species, the one that they bred to perfection, was an aquatic animal called gher cap. The Breegans bred gher cap to have a big jaw and a bulging forehead. Society considered those features to be lucky, and the gher cap species made popular pets.
Actually, the assessment of their "luck" was based on mythology. Few Breegans actually believed in silly things like luck. As a matter of fact, the Breegans were a highly rational people. It's just that they tended to go a little too far sometimes when they were enjoying themselves, or when they thought they were doing the right thing.

Take the biggest, most famous example.
Breegania had its share of problems, but the Breegans went too far in addressing them.
Crime, civil unrest, economic injustice, and ethnocentrism. These problems are everywhere in the galaxy.
But Gorsch III, the last Breegan Emperor, mandated genetic modification for all and euthanized anyone who refused to participate. And that actually solved the problems!
Critics point out that Breegans acted inhumanely. Their story is a cautionary one for our people.
Actually, the Breegans are one of the reasons why biohacking is banned under the Manarian-Cannesian alliance, the Interspecies Coalition, and other treaties.
Despite what critics say, we can credit the Breegans with creating a peaceful and harmonious society.
Ethical or not, the genocide, engineered by Gorsch III and carried out by his guard, actually led to a Breegan golden age, ushering in over 2,000 years of cooperation, creativity, and innovation.
Unfortunately, it also led to their ultimate demise, at the fins of their beloved aquatic pet--the Gher Cap.
