Cygnians are a humanoid species from Cygnet XIV, a class M moon orbiting a circumbinary gas giant. Cygnet XIV is a Federation member, notable for its technological acumen and gynocratic society.
Though female Cygnians are outwardly indistinguishable from humans, Cygnian males bear a greater resemblance to Neanderthals and have a much lower intelligence. Males are not allowed to participate in government and are essentially wards of a female family member. They are seldom seen off their homeworld.
Cygnian females are somewhat prejudiced against males of other humanoid species. Other Federation nations have found it expedient to use female representatives when dealing with them. Cygnians females often view males in positions of power as so bizarre or silly, that have been known to play pranks at the males' expense.
Notes: The natives of Cygnet XIV never appeared in any Star Trek show, but were mentioned in the Original Series episode "Tomorrow is Yesterday." The technicians of Cygnet XIV overhauled the Enterprise computer and gave it a stereotypical flirtatious female personality, much to Kirk's irritation.

Good thing Kirk didn't have a shot at these Cygnians. With all those multicolored aliens he was fooling around with his family photo would have looked like a bowl of Lucky Charm marshmallows.
im willing to go cave man, beam me up now
A bowl of Lucky Charms. That's funny.
Star Trek species, eh? ;)
Can't wait to see the sexy and sometimes airborne submariner men in their fishnet uniforms.
Keep em coming! Enjoying these posts.
@John - Well, a never visualized Star Trek species. Gotta get appropriate images where I can. In this case, of course: UFO.
I don't know if I've got a place to use those submarine guys.
@Bill - Thanks!
@Tim - I think Kirk is probably a dead-beat dad.
