Foysayxee is one of the strangest young security officers in the fleet. He was born from the rigelian race, the inhabitants of Rigel V. The rigelians are a strange race. Some theories say, that they are also a product of the Sargonian diaspora, just like all the artifical planets in the Rigel system, which is like an India in space: all kind of different races live together on the same planets (this is also the home system of the Orion race), and they created a complex caste-system to avoid intercultural confrontations. The inhabitants of Rigel V have copper-based blood, and high psychic affinity, just like vulkans. Their psychic affinity resurfaces in a complex religion, they have close contact with the spirit world, their mind could transcend the body, and wander in another dimensions. They also have five genders: 1., a gender similar to female, who is the origin of all zigotas 2., a gender similar to male, the origin of spermium 3., a gender cogenitor, a kind of bisexual adventurer, who produces ensimes necessary for procreation 4., an asexual gender which has no sexual organ, only serves as a warrior-servitor for society, 5., a child-bearing race, similar to midwife females, but they only take the allready inseminated zigotas, and take the embryo to term, and then they raise the children. The five genders are not eqally common in society, so there is no rigelian family, which has all the five genders together (opposed to the andorian biology). The 1st gender is the most common, the 5th is the secund most common, and of course, there are plenty warrior-servitors from the 4th. The ruling secund gender is much rarer, but the most rarest is the cogenitor, only every 1000 child borns like that. Because of this, the tradicional family-structure of the rigelians is a complex caste-system, a 2. gender male patriarch rules over plenty of 1st gender females (a kind of harem) and a few midwifes (5th), and they have a few servitors in the family, which have allmost no social weight (4th). The cogenitors (3th) are wanderers, bards, shamans and whichdoctors (and real doctors), who go from family to family, to live for a time in every one of them, then they move to another family. The society have plenty of arcane rituals to create the necessary stability for constant procreation, there are savage conflicts between the families, tribes and genders to make survival. In a society like that, even the children have a special education. The rigelians, who have the most contact with outsiders, are members of the servitor gender (4th), the most Starfleet officers are from this gender. The diplomats, scientist, politicans of the rigelians are all male-patriarchs (2.), but there are plenty of antisocial first-gender females, who search adventure or career in the outside world (they are the woman rigelians in starfleet). The other two gender are almost never seen outside of rigelian society.
Foysayxee was born from a family of an ethnic minority. He was born secund gender male, he was raised to become a new patriarch in their tribe. There is a tradition among rigelians, that the new patriarch must be somebody, who experienced life and recieved wisdom among the greater world, before founding an own family. The young rigelians recieve extensive education in all fields of life, they must be excellent warriors and sportsmen, but they must educate themselves in the sciences, economy, law and rituals of religion. They survive a few rituals of coming to age(just like all genders, but with different ceremonies and knowledge), then they start a life of acting. They act as if they are servitors (4th gender), who are making the average life of servitors, who work outside of family. But deep inside, they have a sacred spiritual connection to the spirits of the dead ancestors, they even have some of the memories of the spirits (thanks to the telepathic genes of the rigelians). So they wander outside of the world, and recieve experiences and connections for their future life.
In Foysayxees ethnic group, the patriarch of this young age are called the blood-judges. They are interested in the customs, rituals, spiritual beliefs and laws of the other nations. They investigate the other societies, they search the spirits of the dead ancestors. When they found one, they make a sacred ritual to commune with the spirit. This communion is a kind of ritualistic theather, in which they reconstruct the life story of the deceased. The blood-judge makes spiritual contact, he takes a mask of the dead, and starts to act his life. The others assist in this by asking questions. This is similar to old greek tragedies. The more interesting the spirits life-story (and how he died), the more interesting the experience and memories recieved by the communion.
This is why the high-intellectual Foysayxee searched a career in the tactikal department of Starfleet.
