'''Hermat ''' are a [[humanoid]], [[hermaphrodite|hermaphroditic]] species native to the planet [[Hermat (planetPlanet)|Hermat]] in the [[Alpha Quadrant]]. They are renowned for their versatility and ingenuity.
==Physiology==
Hermats, as a species, tend to keep to themselves. This tendency toward segregation from the rest of the [[Federation]] is well known. While Hermats are not necessarily xenophobic, they have some difficulty relating effectively to members of other species. There are few Hermat members of [[Star Fleet]].
The Hermats are governed by the Hermat Directorate, ruled by the Hermat Elders.
