Send in the clones! On
Deep Space Nine we met the enigmatic Founders - a gelatinous race which could morph into most anything imaginable. The Founders employed a seductive subordinate race of solid beings called the Vorta. These aliens kept the aggressive Jem'Hadar, the grunt soldiers, on a short leash and served their morphing masters as the middle managers of The Dominion. Although not physically strong nor impressive in terms of physiology, the Vorta are the ultimate negotiator. In their dealings with the Federation and Starfleet, they could be more than effective in making diplomatic deals. Is it their charm? Maybe it's those deep, blue eyes which seduce from afar, or perhaps it's those soothing, lilting voices. Whichever the case, the Vorta command a quiet kind of
Star Trek sex vibe indeed.
With the Vorta, there are many mysteries on their culture and origin, and even the concept of their own death is questionable or variable. There is no fixed death, nor real permanency of dying for these alien caretakers from the dread Dominion. Once they die, a clone can be created and the Vorta in question can be back operating in the field in no time flat. Talk about a great healthcare plan! Live long and prosper, indeed!
